Ants are enormously efficient. Why?
They're not taxed and regulated!
Take that, Gorble Warmers, ELFers and ALFers....

Evolution offered no real help to any of these stories. It was just an afterthought, like some obligatory tie-in to the state religion It's more of an assumption than anything. And, like all thought in modern "education", assumes the same thing, a godless origin of man. What gets funny is when they use their assumptions to prove their assumptions.

There are two types of animals that rule the world. Ants are one.
Birds the other.
Found on every continent. Not sure about ants in Antarctica, but there must be some reason they named it ANTarctica!

“The beauty of a mathematical random walk is that it eventually visits all points in space if you walk long enough – and it always returns to its starting point.” Even so, ants don’t waste time retracing their steps. They also exercise their keen senses and communicate what they find with other ants. Bottom line: it works for them. Before long, an organized trail of thousands of ants is lined up.
Once again biologists show the power of randomness to accomplish tasks and establish order.

Yes, but the stuff I sprayed on them over the weekend secured by position at the top of the food chain. Or... so it seems...

Isn’t there a verse in the Bible that says....”go to the
ant, thou sluggard...to see how to be industrious...etc”?
I think it’s in the book of Proverbs....

Ants evolved from wasps over 120 million years ago. Numerous primitive and transitional types of ants have been identified, with more yet to be discovered in the fossil record and as living species. For those interested in the subject, “The Ants” by Bert Hölldobler and Edward O. Wilson provides a definitive single volume statement of current scientific understanding of the biological, ecological, and biochemical basis for ant behavior.

I’ve seen winding trails of ants snake their way through my yard into my neighbor’s yard before. Some of those trails have been at least 150ft long. It is truly amazing to watch them at work.
God has made some amazingly wonderous creatures.
