Plant-Disguise Insects Stick it to Evolutionists

Believers in descent with modification evolution are locked into their paradigm, so they have difficulty doing much more than telling stories that fit. They put on their evolution glasses and interpret what they see through those lenses. Few ask if evolution happened in the first place, being content to evosplain how they think traits developed.

Using critical thinking skills, people can see that stories about insect evolution actually lack science. The same kind of thing happens when discussing phasmids — that group of insects that resemble leaves and sticks.

There is no traceable evolutionary history for insects. Proponents use words and descriptions that include words like "probably." They also go against evolutionary doctrine by saying why a characteristic supposedly evolved. The disguises and body part arrangements of phasmids are mysterious to evolutionists, but biblical creationists believe that giving credit to the Master Designer is the logical answer.

. . . fascinating leaf and stick insects called the phasmids. Scientists writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences give recognition not to the Creator but to natural selection for phasmid innovation. They wrote, “Phasmids (stick and leaf insects) exemplify the extraordinary power of natural selection to shape organismal phenotypes.” A recent article in Phys.org, a science website, stated that “regardless of type, those insects that express a protective stick- or leaf-like appearance all evolved the same basic body parts.”
