Creation Science Rebuttals -

Are Bees Intelligent Planners?

25 January 2006

     The 25 January 06 daily feature for the young earth creation science ministry Creation Moments discusses the bee.

     The authors start out by saying that evolutionists believe intelligence can only evolve in the highest creatures.  No source is listed for this false claim.  The authors go on to give several examples of experiments with bees, in which sugar water is moved to different localities.  Although interesting, this is hardly a sign of intelligence.  (If bees are so intelligent, I wonder what they think of young earth creation science.)

     I agree with the author that intelligence is a gift of the Creator.  They say it did not evolve.  However, for theistic evolutionists, it could have...and it would still be a gift of the Creator.  God put in place the laws governing evolution, therefore His laws led to the creation of intelligence.

     As Christians we should thank God for the trait of intelligence.  However, as is typical of Creation Moments claims, this is strictly a "God of the Gaps" type argument.  Presenting such an argument in defense of creation is a pointless exercise in futility...it will strengthen those who already believe, but will do nothing to argue for your position with the atheist or old earth creationist.
