24 THE MIRACLE IN THE SPIDER

o It prepares a sticky ball on the end of a thread.
o It produces in its body and releases a smell given off by females of
another insect species to attract males.
o It throws the lassoo at its prey faster than the human eye can see.
o It aims the lassoo at its prey and hits it.
o Finally, it has to produce a special
thread which will keep the prey fresh, and
then wraps it up.
So, how is the Bolas spider able to
operate within the framework of such a
clever plan? Making plans is a feature of
creatures which possess the power of
reasoning, i.e. human beings. Furthermore,
the spider's brain does not have the
capacity to conceive all this and carry it
out. But, in that case, how did it come to
possess a hunting technique with such
striking characteristics? That is a question
scientists are still trying to find the answer
to.
According to evolutionists, spiders

coincidences. The spider decided to make a
picture.
lassoo, carried out the chemical
production, knew that it had to attract the moth towards it and came to
have the skill to hit the target with the lassoo, all by coincidence. All the
other qualities it would need to hunt with a lassoo came about entirely by
coincidence. It is obvious that claims based on coincidence are just
fantasy, with no scientific or logical foundation. In order to see clearer just
how far the evolutionists' fantasies are from scientific fact let us imagine
a little scenario, despite all the impossibilities.
Scenario: A long time ago a spider, realising that it was unable to
build webs like other spiders, began to look carefully around it. One day
