120 THE MIRACLE IN THE SPIDER

he theory of evolution is a speculative claim, unsupported by any
scientific criteria and based on no valid evidence. Beyond this, its
T claim that every living creature should have emerged as a result
of countless, completely improbable coincidences, is based on a
foundation totally lacking in any intelligence or science.
Despite this, evolution is the only hope that certain ideological circles
have embraced to keep society at large from the truth. For this reason, and
despite all arguments to the contrary, they are still trying to keep it on the
agenda. Yet the theory of evolution is helpless in the face of the spider,
which we have examined throughout this book, as it is in the face of every
living thing created in nature; it is quite unable to explain how the
features which spiders possess should have come about.
If we consider the features possessed by spiders from the point of
view of evolution, we can better understand what an unsound claim the
theory of evolution is. Let us consider a species of insect which we shall
imagine as the ancestor of all spiders. Let us imagine that this creature is
deaf and almost blind, like many spiders today. In such a state it should
be unable to hunt anything and immediately die of hunger. But, somehow
or other, this insect managed to stay alive, by coincidence or some other
inexplicable force.
One day this blind and deaf insect has the bright idea of building a
web for hunting. That would mean having somewhere to live as well as
an ideal trap for hunting. But this insect does not possess the architectural
capacity and calculating ability necessary to make a web. One by one it
needs to calculate the speed of the wind and the prey it will trap, the loads
the web will have to bear, the spread of these loads, the load-bearing
capacity of the plants and leaves, etc., on which it will build its web, and
many other details. At this point the question, "How can a spider make
calculations?" may arise. But it must not be forgotten that this is the basic
logic of evolution: evolution, in its attempt to deny creation, has no
alternative but that the insect performed these calculations itself.
Nevertheless, even if we accept that the insect has the intelligence to
plan the construction of a web, it still cannot escape death; because it lacks
the tools to make the web. Tools with the properties essential to the job do
