I've always been fascinated by the intricately frail yet flight-worthy design of the dragonfly's wings:

One of the most intricate designs in nature!

Are you saying that a compound eye could not evolve over 16 billion years? You must not be a scientist. /s

Definitely not the meanest-looking, but DEFINITELY one that has left a lot of pain and suffering in people that messed with him.

Insects have to be small.

If they weren’t they’d devour everything faster than nature could replace it.

Kinda puts evolution in the “dumb” category.Along with anybody who still believes in it...

Although I'm not a scientist (or a theologian) I think evolution is a plausible theory.However,there are many who claim that "evolution" positively disproves God's existence whereas I believe that it tends to do just the opposite.I firmly believe that God is more than capable of creating the universe...and the wings of a butterfly...in "six days",or gradually,meaning over thousands,millions or billions of years.

If there's a clock,there's a clock maker.

That's wrong. Theories which require trans-finite sequences of probabilistic miracles and zero-probability events aren't plausible. The good news is that there aren't a whole lot of theories like that out there...

When I was a kid naively tried to save a jumping spider from our bird bath and it bit me on the finger. It hurt pretty bad.

It reminds me of something from “The Outer Limits” or “The Twilight Zone.”

God made the Bumble Bee just to prove to men that he can make anything fly....scientists still say it shouldn’t be able to fly...God smiles.....
