Two Butterflies Which Did Not Come From a Chrysalis
As the weather warms up we will see some of God’s most beautiful creations in action. My favorite butterfly, the Monarch, will be going from flower to flower extracting the nectar, and also enabling pollination. The female will also be busy placing her eggs on the underside of the leaves of a milkweed plant. Can you identify a milkweed plant? The female butterflies can, because of the instinctive program God placed into their brain!
Inside the butterfly’s egg are genetic instructions to create two animals (a caterpillar and a butterfly)! The program must include various “clocks” to trigger certain assembly instructions in a very specific order (for example, the caterpillar must be formed first). Specific instinctive programs for each creature must reside inside the egg, to tell each one how to use the body God gave it. Of course a program requires a programmer, and in this case, it is the work of our Creator.
The genetic instructions are designed to be activated in the following sequence: First, make a caterpillar; then, tell it how to eat (using the provided pinchers), and what to eat (the shell of the egg is first to be consumed); then when the time is right, it will shed its skin several times (the new, larger skin is actually folded up inside its body, so it will fit over this fast growing “eating machine”); then form a chrysalis; then another set of instructions will reduce the caterpillar to “soup”! Yes, the caterpillar is broken down to allow the butterfly to be assembled. I am sure it doesn’t hurt, because our Lord designed this creature for this purpose. The pinchers will become two parts of the “straw” on the butterfly! The two parts will be zipped together after the butterfly emerges! The butterfly will be male or female. The caterpillar was neither one. The caterpillar cannot drink. The butterfly cannot eat. Not even one of the genetic instructions to produce the beautiful Monarch from a worm could be the product of mistakes over time. These plans had to be complete and perfect, and carried out in their entirety from the beginning. Study the incredible stages of the Monarch. What would happen if a process was incomplete or in the wrong sequence? What if the curled up “straw” (proboscis) didn’t get zipped together? What if it did get zipped together, but the butterfly did not know what to do with it? What if it knew what to do, but it would not “uncurl”? What if an evolving proboscis had air holes in it (it would not draw up nectar)? What if an evolving caterpillar didn’t know how to shed (wiggle free from) its old skin? Think about those few items. The list could be almost endless when you think of any “evolving” creature. There simply would be no Monarch butterflies.
Unlike what you have probably been told, genetic mistakes never produce new useful parts that could assemble themselves into a living creature; much less an animal which must go through metamorphosis! So, even the questions about the so-called “evolving” creatures do not apply! I hope you see that there is no such thing as evolution in the “molecules-to-man” sense. Evolution is not even logical.
