The common house fly is an engineering marvel. Scientists have referred to
its "cleverly created" and "complex" eye structure, which allows a fly to have
360 degree vision. Each eye has 3,000 facets, or parts. Each fly has a pump in
its nose through which it sucks up its food. The fly tastes its food through
receptors under its foot pads.
The fly has been called a "perfectly designed flying machine." Each wing
beats 330 times per second, faster than a hummingbird. A fly can take off with
great speed in any direction and stop immediately. Its wing structure represents
nature's "grand design." Its wings are thin and fragile. Arteries run through
the fly's wings for skeletal support Their light weight efficiency is the envy
of those in the field of aerodynamics. Scientists study their intricate
structure in order to be able to design similar models for aircraft.
Who designed this creature? Why, "evolution," of course! My, isn't evolution
wonderful?! Blind, lifeless, material processes created wings that are admired
by man and designed eyes that are not yet fully understood by intelligent human
beings! O, thank you, Mother Nature for your unguided, thoughtless, unplanned,
"perfectly designed" creation! Just imagine what an intelligent, creative,
designing God could have made if he existed!
"For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God"
(Heb. 3:4; Cf. Gen. 1; Psa. 33:6-9; 119:1-4).
