constructing a building. It is not even sufficient to be a university
graduate to plan and calculate the tension in the threads which make up
the web, the strength of the foundation the web sits on, the correctness of
the geometric form, the resistance and elasticity to be given to allow for
the wind and the movement of the prey, the threads' physical and
chemical properties, and many other details which we have not been able
to list. In any case, there is no university for baby spiders. Shortly after
coming into the world they begin to produce thread, build webs, and
hunt. Evolutionist scientists, unable to explain the reason for this,
desperately resort to another utterly comic claim. According to this logic,
which denies basic creation, an unknown force, known as instinct, tells
the newly-born spider what it has to do.
So, what is instinct? Is it an inspiration, whose origins are unclear,
which makes the spider a professor of physics and chemistry, a
construction engineer, and an architect? What is the source of this
inspiration, said to be in the spider and to emerge by itself. Let us try to
find this by examining the make-up of the spider.
Like all living creatures the spider is made up of proteins. These
proteins are made up of amino-acids. Amino-acids, in their turn, are made
by large molecules coming together. And molecules come about when
atoms join together. Let us seek the answer to the above question here.
Where exactly in the spider is this thing called instinct, which tells the
spider how to make threads which man cannot imitate and produces
incomparable works of architecture and engineering? In the proteins
which make up its body? Or in the amino-acids which make up the
proteins? Or in the molecules which make up the amino-acids? Or else in
the atoms which make up the molecules? Which one of these is the source
of the inspiration which evolutionists try to pass off as instinct?
Of course it is none of these. Like all living creatures, the spider
submits to the Lord of all the worlds, and behaves as inspired by Him.
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him. There
is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise, but you do not
understand their glorification. He is All-Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving.
