Regular readers of this blog will know that I am not a fan of evolution, especially when it is taught in schools as almost a fact rather than a theory.

With this in mind I was interested to read about the water scavenger beetle and thought it worth sharing.

This is a water scavenger beetle, and it does something that should not work if life were built by chance. It walks upside down just beneath the surface of the water, pressed against it, calmly strolling as if gravity does not apply. It does not swim. It does not rush. It simply walks. Scientists observe that a trapped air layer keeps it from sinking, yet that air should collapse or break apart. Somehow it stays perfectly intact.
Even more astonishing, the beetle creates no surface ripples. No disturbance. No signal to predators above. It breathes underwater by holding a thin layer of air beneath its hardened wing covers called elytra. That air connects directly to its breathing pores, the spiracles, forming a built in life support system that works flawlessly from the start.
Now ask the question evolution refuses to answer. How did the first beetle survive without drowning while this system was supposedly incomplete. How long did it take to figure out ripple free movement. How many generations died before this precise balance worked. The honest answer is simple. It did not evolve its way into survival. It was designed for it. This beetle is not an accident of time. It is a deliberate work of God’s creation, engineered to function perfectly from the very beginning.
