Butterflies and moths are interesting creatures.  These insects begin life as a caterpillar, encase themselves in a chrysalis or cocoon, and then emerge as a flying insect.  These creatures are an excellent example of how foolish the theory of evolution is, as they have many traits that simply would not have been able to form from gradual “adaptation.”  

 

The egg of a monarch butterfly has a hard outer shell called the chorion, which protects the larva inside.  The shell is lined with wax, which prevents the egg from drying out, and each egg has at least a few holes, and sometimes many.  These holes are important, because the egg forms its hard shell before it is fertilized.  The egg would not be able to become fertilized without the holes being present.

 

The butterfly must have been pretty smart to realize that a hard egg shell won't become fertilized unless it had a couple small holes in it.  How did the butterfly reproduce before it "evolved" these holes to appear, and how did it will itself to produce eggs like these?  Isn't it also "convenient" that the eggs are lined with wax, so they don't dry out.  It’s almost as if the eggs were designed, isn’t it?

 

From these eggs, caterpillars emerge.  Caterpillars are often colorful and sometimes furry, with 6 “true” legs and several pairs of “pro-legs.”  They spend time in foliage usually feeding on plants.  After living life as a caterpillar, they spin themselves into a cocoon or chrysalis, which is like a protective shell.  They then remain in the cocoon or chrysalis for a matter of days or weeks, and emerge as virtually a completely different insect with only six legs, wings, and usually (in the case of butterflies) an affinity for pollen.

 

If you were an evolutionist that had to explain how butterflies “evolved” (for instance, if you taught in a university, and your job depended on you validating atheism in front of students) it would be an embarrassing sight.  How could a butterfly have “evolved” itself?  Which came first, an insect with the traits of a caterpillar, or an insect with the traits of a butterfly?  Or did an insect that transforms itself from one to another magically form out of a rock?  Keep in mind that for everything that exists, evolutionists have to pretend it arrived there gradually from inanimate matter.

 

Try to imagine a colorful worm-like creature with dozens of legs, that one day “evolved” the ability to encase itself into a protective cocoon, live in an inactive transformational stage for a couple weeks, and emerge with only six legs, large wings, completely different colors, and a completely different food pattern.  Seem impossible?  Not only is that ridiculous, but then butterflies (such as the monarch, pictured at top) figure out that they need to fly south if it gets too cold in a particular location.  Bet it was tough to survive before they “adapted” the realization that they would all die in the snow, and adapted a sense of direction.

 

Next, lets think about how butterflies came into existence.  How did it “evolve” wings?  What did it look like before it could fly, and how did it survive?  How did it develop the ability to spin itself into a cocoon or chrysalis in order to protect itself while it undergoes such radical changes?  Either an insect spins a cocoon or it doesn’t.  There is no possible transitional explanation for this, no proof of evolution, and no valid evolutionary theories that do not border on lunacy.  How could an insect understand that a protective cocoon (or chrysalis) would be beneficial to it’s survival, gain the ability to create such an item, remain in the encasement for weeks, will itself to transform from many of legs to six, grow wings, change colors, and change feeding habits, all as a result of random chance?

 

Obviously, butterflies (and moths) were designed to do this, and have been doing this since they were created.
