A HONEYBEE’S BRAIN COMPARED TO A SUPER COMPUTER

A HONEYBEE’S BRAIN COMPARED TO A SUPER COMPUTER

BEE COMPUTER

Size Tiny Large

Speed 1 Trillion/Sec 6 Billion/Sec (NASA Cray Y-MP)

Energy Consumption 10 Microwatts Many Kilowatts (107 or more)

Cost Cheap Lots - $48 million

Maintenance Personnel None - Self Healing Many

Weight Not Much 2,300 lbs w/ cooling system

Conclusions Evolved? Designed

The human brain is millions of times more complex than a honeybee’s!The human brain is millions of times more complex than a honeybee’s!

Super Computer is huge, slow, inefficient, costs lots of money, must be maintained. It had to be designed.

THE DANCING BEETHE DANCING BEE

THE ROUND DANCETHE ROUND DANCE THE WAGGING DANCETHE WAGGING DANCE

If food is nearby, the worker does a whirling dance in one direction, then another (left). If food is distant, she makes a double circle pattern, wagging on the straight run (right).

If food is nearby, the worker does a whirling dance in one direction, then another (left). If food is distant, she makes a double circle pattern, wagging on the straight run (right).

The bee runs up on the vertical comb on the wagging part of the dance to tell other workers to fly toward the sun.

She runs down to tell them to fly away from the sun. The number of runs in a given time indicates the distance.

The angle at which she runs on the wagging part of the dance gives the angle of the food source relative to the hive and the sun.

The drawings do not show that the scout is surrounded by workers who follow her movements with their antennae.

THE NATURAL SELECTION DECEPTION

THE NATURAL SELECTION DECEPTION

Natural selection has no power to create new and better biological

information. Rather, it is wholly at the mercy of random, destructive

mutations to provide the necessary new information. Since random

mutations cannot produce the needed results, natural selection is left helpless with nothing to select.

“It is not easy to see how an impervious reptile scale could be converted

gradually into an impervious feather without passing through a frayed scale

intermediate which would be weak, easily deformed and still quite permeable

to air. It is true that basically a feather is....a mass of keratin filaments - but the

filaments are not a random tangle but are ordered in an amazingly complex way to achieve the tightly intertwined structure of the feather. Take away the exquisite

coadaptation of the components,

take away the coarrangement of the barbs on the shaft and all that is left is a soft

pliable structure utterly unsuitable to form the basis of a stiff impervious aerofoil. The

stiff impervious property of the feather which makes it so beautiful an adaptation

for flight, depends basically on such a highly involved and unique system of coadapted components that it seems

impossible that any transitional feather-like structure could possess even to a slight

degree the crucial properties.”

“I remember well the time when the thought of the eye made me cold all over, but I have got over this stage of the complaint, and now

small trifling particulars of structure often make me very uncomfortable. The sight of a

feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me

sick.”The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin 296 (F. Darwin ed. 1887)

One prominent evolutionist on the editorial staff of a prestigious

scientific magazine confided to the author after examining the

[woodpecker’s] skull, “There are certain anatomical features which just

cannot be explained by gradual mutations over millions of years. Just

between you and me, I have to get God into the act too sometimes.”

intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made – His handiworks. So
