of moths and butter-
flies. They also have to explain
why 48-million-year-old fossil butterflies
are identical to specimens alive today 326 and
have remained unchanged for millions of years.
How does that square with evolution?
In addition, evolutionists must abandon myths and
fairy tales to answer these questions: How did the stunning
patterns, dazzling colors and perfect symmetry in butterfly
wings emerge? How did they come by their attractive exter-
nal appearance and defense systems that protect them
against predators? How did butterflies' superior flight mech-
anisms and systems that are marvels of engineering come
about? How did metamorphosis—an exceptionally complex
mechanism—come into existence? How did the complex
program that regulates the transformations from the egg to
the caterpillar, the caterpillar to the pupa, and the pupa to
the butterfly arise in this insect's genetic code?
Apart from speculation, evolutionists have no an-
swers to these questions. They cannot account for
such extraordinary structures and flawless sys-
tems in terms of such random factors as
natural selection and muta-
tion. Darwinists
