Here are a few more examples that help illustrate evolution’s impossibilities.
Ophrys Orchid - There is an orchid that looks like a 3 dimensional bee, complete with antennae, and also produces the scent of a female bee. This of course causes male bees to be attracted to it, and when they land on it the flower deposits pollen onto the bee. This is a very clear example of design, unless a flower that looks and smells like a bee could have developed these traits by itself as a method of pollen distribution.
Fruit - Plants and trees that produce fruit are interesting, because seeds actually do not even need the fruit to begin growing. Ever buy apple seeds that actually come with apples? Plants devote such a huge amount of their resources to make fruit, especially something like watermelons, and the seeds cannot even begin to grow until the fruit is gone. What then is it for? Fruit is designed to be eaten. By designing fruit to be food, animals (and people) take the developed fruit, carry it away from the original plant, and deposit the seeds in other locations. The fruit even tastes best once the seeds are fully developed. This assists in the survival of that species. The first part of the Bible mentions that fruit is designed to be food, and it is hard to imagine any other real purpose for it. Could a plant possibly have understood that producing its seeds in an edible encasement would be beneficial to seed dispersion?
Horse & deer flies - Horse & deer flies bite animals and humans to feed off blood. When they bite an animal or human and begin feeding, their saliva contains an anti-coagulant, which prevents the blood from clotting while they are feeding, keeping it in liquid form. Could these insects have developed an anti-coagulant (anti blood clotting) substance by themselves? They do not understand biology, and don’t understand how blood clotting works. Although I can’t stand these insects, they are clearly designed to do what they do.
South American False Eyed Frog - This frog has realistic looking fake eyes on it’s rear, and when it feels threatened by a predator it will turn around so it’s fake eyes are facing the threat, and raise it’s rear, making it look like there is a large face staring back at the predator. Evolutionists mindlessly call this an “adaptive trait.” Really? So over the course of time a frog can decide to grow fake eyes on its back, and then learn to use that as a defensive mechanism? Even if the frog “accidentally adapted” realistic fake eyes on its back, how would it know they were there, and how would it know to use that as a defensive procedure?
Eyes - Eyes are some of the most complex devices in nature, and are far more advanced than anything humans can create. They also have been around since the first animals. How could that possibly be so? The “first” fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals all miraculously have eyes. Trilobite eyes had a complex system of 2 lenses that allowed everything to be in focus all the time, without the need for refocusing, and had no “barrel distortion.” How is that possibly random? Human eyes have 126 million photo receptors, and birds can have over a billion. The impossibilities of these forming without a designer are difficult to ignore. And of course, as mentioned on the first page of this site, religion of evolution founder Charles Darwin didn’t even think eyes could have evolved when he wrote: "To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree." -Charles Darwin, in 'The Origin of Species,' 1859, p. 217. To his credit, he did attempt to line up eyes based on complexity using the trick that is shown at the top of page 1.
Most mammals have one advantage over human eyesight. Have you ever shined a light at an animal in the dark, and noticed it’s eyes are like reflectors? That reflective layer allows animals to see better at night, because if a photon (or light particle) misses a photo receptor, the reflective layer bounces the light back through the photoreceptors again. Randomness at work, or design?

Bats - Speaking of eyes, I’m sure you’ve heard the term “blind as a bat.” Well in reality bats have relatively good eyesight. But the real design award should go to their sonar system. They emit sounds which bounce off objects, and by detecting the echoes the bats are able to maneuver to and around objects with astonishing precision. You can fill an area with barely visible obstacles and bats will fly around them at high speeds with little effort. Using this extraordinary system, bats can catch and eat thousands of insects a night. What did bats do before they “adapted” such skill? Unfortunately for evolutionists, all the bats we find in the fossil record are bats... there are no transitional species.
Porcupine - Porcupines have tens of thousands of quills, which it uses as a defense against would-be predators. The quills of a porcupine have barbs on the end, which make the quill easy to go inward but extremely difficult to pull out. How did the barbs on the end of the quills form? By accident?
Human Balance - In your inner ear, there are 3 tubes filled with fluid, as part of the semicircular canals. These canals detect turning movement, and send signals to your brain when you turn your head, via the alignment of the fluid. There are also the otolith organs, which have two fluid-filled cavities called the utricle and the saccule. These cavities contain hair cells, and when you change the position or angle of your head, the fluid moves the hair cells, which in turn send signals to your brain regarding movement and orientation, and allow you to balance yourself. The human body is full of complex systems like these with many necessary parts. Do you think all of these just fell together by accident? How could your heart and complex system of veins and arteries possibly have evolved, and what did they do before they had any function? Either an animal has a beating heart or it doesn’t; there are no transitional species accidentally forming hearts and veins.
Nature is full of thousands of examples like these. Ants have built in pedometers that let them know how far they’ve walked, so they can bring food back to the colony, birds somehow know which way is south, and if bees sting you, the bee dies. Now how does a bee “adapt” a trait that kills itself if it’s used? It clearly was designed as protection for a bee hive, not the individual insect.
I will admit that I used to believe the hoax of evolution, having been spoon-fed the nonsense by science books, news media, public schools, and museums. But now, after actually thinking for myself, the ideas of evolution seem so absolutely stupid that I am astonished it is mistaken for science. Don’t be afraid to doubt things “scientists” tell you to believe; a true scientist isn’t afraid to question a theory. And although evolutionists often ridicule people who don’t believe what they do, it should be noted that confidence does not equal competence.
