Interesting to see the shapes in which bees create their honeycombs. Almost mathematically precise... Hexagons are one of the most efficient shapes strength wise.

But this isn't any evidence for a creator... :roll:

Straws collapse into hexagons if compressed inot each other...if fact bees makes them circular and the weight compresses them...

If you are saying it's an accident that they turn into hexagon's then be my guest.. It still doesn't deny a creator.

I see God's design.... In everything. I'm not changing my topic.

My wife has a beautiful ass. She must have been created! :lol:

Seriously,this is not evidence; to claim it as such is just short-sighted. Could you explain to me in what way this points to a creator?

Do honeycombs create themselves out of luck or does a bee create it?

Why are you looking for evidence? Isn't the point of faith that you don't have any evidence? If you had evidence of proof of God's existence, you could no longer have faith! And then, ironically, religion would be in a whole heap of doo-doo.

That is a common misconception about what faith in the Christian context is. Faith does not mean to have blind faith in the existence of God, but that one trusts the atonement and justification of the cross.

Showing evidence, like GMan is here, is confirmation of the created order, and not meant to be some method of convincing non-believers that God exists.

God expects us to use our minds - Mt 22:36-38, Romans 12:2... But in terms of scientific evidence, nothing is said to have 100% proof. Nothing.. Therefore whatever your belief or religion is, if you believe in God or if you believe that nature is the supreme creator...

Your are always going to have a certain amount of....

I saw a program about these honeybees a few years ago. Their defense speaks design to me. They know just what temperature will work.
