So you are saying God is simply not involved ... that nature and all in the universe is a spontaneous act of randomness? Consider that a universe with only random existence would never have order in any part of its members. Gravity would not exist. Solar systems would not exist. Spiraling galaxies would not exist. The elements and their atomic order would not exist. No, I think we may see a pattern of how God develops things in nature and call it evolution.

That's an incredible story! It's amazing how interdependent two very different creatures are in the wasp and the fig tree. I had no idea, that fig trees supplied life too so many animals! This is why we have to protect biodiversity.

[@vedantsridhar8378]

Yeah. What if the fig wasps forget to pollinate? Do you think that is even possible, or it is in their genes?

[@christinafidance340]

@@vedantsridhar8378 I don’t believe they do it knowingly. They are driven merely to reproduce themselves and I think the pollen sticks to their undercarriage and inadvertently gets redeposited in the tree where they lay their eggs and so forth and so on.

[@KosmiekAltertainment]

@@christinafidance340 I thought something similar. But i found it amazing that they actually 'pack the pollen in special pockets' as the documentary tells. Absolutely amazing. Still its most likely not a conscious act since humans think insects act merely on instinct. I am not sure about that but wont debate it -what do i know-. The wasps wont forget to pollinate tho, In any case the instinct is way to strong to ignore. They simply have no other purpose, choice or idea.

[@deeblestone9109]

@@christinafidance340 It may be all instinct, driven by genes - but pollination isn't random. The female fig wasp actively takes pollen and fills pollen 'baskets' on her thorax her natal fig - at the next fig 'garden' she digs it out and places it where it will pollinate.

You need to watch it again! You SEE only competition, not the intricate cooperative community which is the real story. A species that "succeeds" too well can destroy the plants and animals upon whom their own lives depend. Humans are like King Midas, who wanted gold so much he prayed that everything he touched would turn to gold. Soon, he starved. Then he inadvertantly turned his daughter into a golden statue. By trying to convert everything into profits for the next quarter, we are killing the goose that laid the golden egg. It will be impossible to replace all the FREE SERVICES THAT NATURE PROVIDES US. Science STILL doesn't even know all the insects and how they maintain a balance with other life forms. Yet we want ALL of every resource, leaving behind only a wasteland. We won't know how much we have destroyed when we kill a keystone species, but the cascading effects over decades will be horrific. If you believe that God created each species, why do you destroy the art He created? To destroy the masterpiece of Nature's intricate web of interdependence is blasphemous!

She isn't worshiping anything but the Creator by expressing her admiration for His work and the shame of humanity's foolishness.
