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.
