"everything looks like it has been designed by an architect, a single mind. But of course that isn't true" Then later
"It is truly , a wonder of the world"
Rom 1:25 They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

Reminds me of a Woody Allan line, “It’s a model socialist community, it’s based on an ant farm.”

That is awesome, and amazing..thanks for posting...
In some way, it sort of forces us to rethink the definition of "intelligence"..it's almost like in computer science..what I think they call "distributed processing"..each ants' miniscule brain linked together..the collective whole is somehow far more powerful.
BTW..do you happen to know where in Africa that was, and what species of ant? Other species, like the army ants..have evolved a totally different, yet equally successful, model..the army ants swarm through the jungle, eating everything they encounter..they stay in one spot for a few days..the form a "living nest"...they all link thir limbs together...and then, when the surrounding food source is all eaten..they swarm to another location..almost the exact opposite of the ants in the video..

Fascinating. It looks like an alien city, which in a way it is.

makes you wonder if there really is some sort of ESP going on in the collective mind

Ants do use pheromones for communication ,but the thought of telepathy is appealing ,isn’t it!

There isn’t a “collective will” and probably not a collective mind. Every colony is run by a queen ant and her warrior caste enforcers.

Sounds familiar. Like the current administration in the U.S.S. of America.

To: Durus
true, but she/they don't coordinate exactly where what gets done and when...
what makes a single ant start a new chamber or tunnel and why do other ants start to help that one instead of starting their own chamber/tunnel?
