“Searching for the Truth”
Bugs & Plants—How Can They Live Together?
One interesting way to appreciate God’s design in na-
ture is to try to solve certain problems that He had to face. Try
this one. Plants need seeds to produce the next generation. But
what about the insects that feed on seeds? If you decide that
insects will not eat seeds, what will insects eat? If the insects
eat all the seeds, how will the plant survive? So we need insects,
and they need something to eat. Seeds are a convenient food for
them. We have come full circle – we need seeds, and we need
insects. Here are two solutions to the problem.
A plant could be designed to produce so many seeds that
insects would not be able to eat all of them. Or plants could be
designed to produce seeds with a natural insect repellant. Both
design solutions are found in nature. Those plants that produce so many seeds that the
insects could not possibly eat them all generally do not make seeds that are poisonous
to insects. Those plants that produce fewer seeds often have a natural insect repellant
within them. As a result, insects and plants continue on generation after generation.

Barbara Mills in 2007. This program, honoring returning military is dedicated to heroes re-
this ability to survive. This faulty, circular reasoning explains nothing. God in His wis-
turning from the global war on terrorism around the world and supported by local community
dom had to solve many problems as He created the world. God displays His foresight
and businesses. Different organizations and groups made presentations to returning Marine
and wisdom through the things He made.
