where its prey is stuck on the water, bites, poisons, and kills it.
Who made this coating on the hairs on a spider's feet to stop it from
sinking, one wonders? This question can be broadened by thinking that
every water-spider there has ever been has had its feet coated in this way.
How do the spiders know about the water being able to keep them afloat,
the properties of water-resistant molecules and their reaction with water
molecules? Since they could not have planned this system themselves,
who did? Since this planned system based on water surface tension could
not have come about by itself, or by chance, how did it come about? And
how did spiders pass on this system and the chemical formula of the
product that keeps them from sinking to later generations of spiders?
The answers to these questions will bring us to the existence of a
perfect creation. The spiders were created in perfect form by God. In the
same way as God gave every species the properties it would need, he
gave these spiders the feature of being able to walk on water, which they
would need.
