I Believe in God Because of the Beaver Who made or designed the house? Beaver Who made or designed the beaver? God 53

I Believe in God Because of the Beaver What’s our memory verse? Hebrews 3:4 For every house is built by some man; but he that built all things is God. 54

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 55

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 56 Most termites have tiny white soft bodies. They must live in a dark, moist place to live Most, if placed in open air will die in a few hours

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 57

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 58 How do millions of tiny termites build a castle mound that has so much design? Macrotermes of Africa build great castle-like mounts that house millions of termites

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 59

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 60 Inside these mounds are “gardens” where termites grow their food called fungus. There are many other wonders inside these mounds

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 61 Termites must have moist fresh air They build complicated air-conditioning systems Air-conditioning systems ???

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 62 They build tiny tunnels next to the outside walls The heat from the fungus and their bodies rise to the top Oxygen mixes with the heat and produces cool air

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 63 This air-conditioner is so effective, it keeps the castle at a steady 64 degrees All year – no matter how hot or how cold it is outside the castle

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 64

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 65 We can not build such an air-conditioning system Now the most amazing part These tiny termites are blind They use soil and spit only to build these marvelous castles

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 66 How does a tiny blind termite build such a castle? Evolutionist don’t know Be we know how they do it God gave these termites the ability to build these castles

I Believe in God Because of the Termites 67 Who made the Termites ? GOD

I Believe in God Because of the Stenaptinus Insignis 68

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 69

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 70 Have you ever used a squirt gun? The Bombardier beetle defends itself by squirting it’s enemy It squirts a high-pressure jet of boiling water in a rapid action

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 71 This beetle has an unusual way of squirting at it’s enemy Its called a: “pulse defense mechanism” How does that beetle do that?

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 72 Hold on to your hats as I explain how the Bombardier Beetle makes this solution to spray it’s enemy

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 73 Two chemicals: Hydoquinones and Hydrogen peroxide are produced in the beetles glands They are stored in the beetles stomach

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 74 When the beetle feels threatened, it pushes these chemicals into a heart- shaped chamber. These chamber walls are lined with cells that have “peroxidases and catalases- oxidative enzymes”

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 75 These ensymes quickly break down the hydogen peroxide and catalyze the oxidation of the hydoquinones into benzoquinones. That makes a spray that is very irritating to the enemy

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 76 This chemical reaction results in a release of free oxygen and causes a substantial amount of heat The beetle then is able to eject this spray out at 212 degrees of heat at 500 pulses per second

I Believe in God Because of the Bombardier Beetle 77 Boy, that’s complicated Can you image trying to explain how this complicated design just happened by “chance” Only an intelligent designer could have made this beetle do that.

IMAGINE  the evolution of a bombardier beetle: one mistake in the intricate design and he would be literally, up in smoke! POOF! 78
