Many living things in nature successfully perform quite complex tasks, which no one would ever expect from them.. One evident sign of a special design that invalidates the Theory of Evolution is the so-called bombardier beetle, which defends itself by squirting a special boiling chemical substance through a hole in its hind section toward its enemy. But how does this chemical weapon work?
The findings of scientists studying this animal are exceptionally amazing. The bombardier beetle prepares a concentrated mixture of two chemical substances (hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone) in its secretory lobes. The mixture combines in the storage chamber, which is connected to a second chamber: the explosion chamber. These two chambers are separated from one another in a system similar to the valvular muscular system of human heart.

When the beetle senses danger, it contracts the muscles in the storage chamber and simultaneously relaxes the connection muscles separating this chamber from the explosion chamber. This causes the valve in between to open, which allows the secreted chemical mixture to enter the explosion chamber and mix with the catalyst enzymes that will trigger the explosion. At that very moment, the valve of the explosion chamber shuts off. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes into water and oxygen and, interacting with hydroquinone, the oxygen produces more water and quinone, an irritating chemical. This interaction engenders a blistering heat and, when the chemical substance reaches the boiling point, the mixture is squirted with pressure through a special channel in the beetle’s hind section. Thus the beetle scalds its enemy with quinone, a poisonous chemical substance.

This chain reaction, which takes place within the beetle’s body, occurs in the blink of an eye. It has to operate perfectly, for any fault in the system would cause the beetle to die, either by its enemy or by exploding. Briefly, in order for this defense system to operate, all parts of the system must exist simultaneously and be complete. To put it in another way, it must have been created.

If it's similar to the human heart, then there you go... Perhaps many things cannot be explained, but that does not automatically mean that a greater power was involved - We just don't have enough knowledge about it yet. Much like how back in the day, people could have sworn the world was flat.. THEN BAM. Anyone saying that today would be laughed at.

And your point?
Of COURSE all the species on Earth have specific designs and functions. But they weren't created by an intelligent creator, but by refinement through natural processes. This is at the heart of the theory of Evolution. Have you read up?
Nice try. But evolution works through natural selection. In a sense they are "designed," but not by the kind of pseudoscience supported by creationists.
I suggest reading up on this subject.

Darwin did not pen his theory as a deliberate offensive move against religion nor has the work of archaeologists, geologists or nuclear chemists been. Science is not out there to suppress religion but the weakening of religion through the gaining of knowledge is a byproduct of progression.

It is amazing yes, the explanation is that this beetle species was succesfull , that is why it still exist.
btw , there are more amazing things , there are for instance species without hair !, they have extra extra soft nails all over thir body what allows them .... to fly ! ... just like angels !

Instead of copy pasting from creationist propaganda sites, why don't you do a little scientific research?
Here's a link to get you started: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/bombardier.html

Instead of making perfect sense, why not insist on the infallibility of flawed human thinking and imperfect scientific method? Take my patronising advice and go to some silly site. There you go. Now I will copy and paste tons of boring Ássatrúblah links that no one will ever visit too.

Oh please, I saw that nutjob talking about that beetle too... I mean really, what kind of mind would this "god" have to have to think up a beetle that shoots stuff out of it's @ss as a means of protection??

Amazing.You are so entertaining !
Could you now do some nice cut and paste on intelligent falling vs Newton theories on gravitation please ?
