Spider's imitation of death for survival. Is there an intelligent designer?

Question

Evolution and natural selection don't satisfy me. İt can't be a tactic because spider isn't that smart. İt is a very smart move, not like the other examples of natural selection. ( The butterflies which have the colour of trees or leaves survive and this speciality passes to their babies etc...) Who gave this instinct to the spider?

Answer 1

Jehovah God!

Answer 2

those are not proofs of a "designer", they are all explained through nature

how is this not like other examples of natural selection? it's a SURVIVAL instinct, that's what natural selection is all about. This instinct is passed down to offspring through generations of spiders.

PS - spiders aren't the only creatures that "play possum"

Answer 3

"I don't think spiders are that smart" is an opinion, a matter of taste, an emotional judgement, and has nothing to do with the scientific reality of the matter. Note that all creationist/ID type arguments rest on mere opinion, that opinion being "too complex." It is the worst kind of horseshit.

Answer 4

Instinct is not given -- it develops through natural selection and individual need. If a trait or instict is some sort of "blessing", then how do you explain genetic mutations?

Answer 5

This is a completely baseless argument. I could go on, but really don't even care to argue this one. Have a nice day.

Answer 6

I assume you are completely irony-free when you speak of not being that smart..

Answer 7

WTF are you talking about. What spider pretends to be dead. What because they sit motionless until its time to strike. Seems like an inteligent, energy efficient stratagy to me.
