Examples Of Signs Leading To Faith
                                                                             107

               does after this is to bury itself some 25-30 cm (12 inches) un-
               derground. Here, it will undergo the pupa stage and wait for
               between one and five years. When it emerges as a fully formed

               adult weevil, it begins drilling acorns. The variation in the
               pupa stage depends on the maturation of new acorns. 36
                    This insect’s interesting life is just one of the proofs that

               invalidates the theory of evolution and shows the flawless de-
               sign with which God created living things. Close inspection
               reveals that all of the insect’s mechanisms were constructed

               according to a specific plan. The drilling tube, the sharp teeth
               at its end, and the flexible head structure that allows the tube
               to be used cannot be accounted for by chance or natural selec-
               tion. If the drilling process were not carried out flawlessly,




                                                   The acorn weevil knows how it
                                                   will behave at every stage of its
                                                   life. As a larva, it does everything
                                                   it needs to; as an adult, it knows it
                                                   has to drill a hole in an acorn and
                                                   make its nest there. God, the
                                                   Compassionate, gives each insect
                                                   its unique features.
