The Miraculous Design in the Flight of Insects 21
The eye of a dragonfly is
considered the world's most
complicated insect eye structure.
Each eye contains about thirty
thousand lenses. These eyes
occupy about half the area of the
head and provide the insect with a
very wide visual field because of
which it can almost keep an eye
on its back. The wings of a
dragonfly are of such a complex
design that they make any
conception of coincidence's
involvement in their origin
nonsense. The aerodynamic
membrane of the wings and each
pore on the membrane is a direct
result of plan and calculation.
an uncertain change. It would be quite beyond reason to suggest that
another mutation on top of this change could "coincidentally" add up to a
wing. Furthermore, neither would the mutations to the body provide a
whole wing to the insect nor would it do any good but decrease its mobility.
