Are bees evidence of intelligent design?

[Neutraligon]

According to Science, bees can't fly is an Urban Myth. In fact, according to Science bees DO fly. Adolf Hitler invented this apercu of political correctness to prove that Science is a Jewish Conspiracy. He would say that, wouldn't he?

What?

So flying bees are a Jewish Conspiracy?

I'd be more likely to believe that if they instinctively attacked Mel Gibson instead of Nic Cage.

Yes beers are evidence of intelligent design. Beers show up in most global cultures. They are a great way of using grains commercially that could not otherwise be preserved for sale. Beers make life a little more tolerable for the average worker; they thus prevent unrest and social instability.

What an intelligent development beers have been!

[Sobeiska]

This fucking thing again. Science breaks down a logical evolutionary path for every single creature it can, backing these up with an ever expanding fossil record and the similarity of modern organisms but if one dude thinks one small piece doesn't make sense rather than assume they misunderstood the theory and do more research, that scientists just haven't figured out that bit yet, or that some other factor is at play it's time to tip over the whole fucking board and declare that the Judeo Christian God breathed life into the world 6,000 years ago, that magic is real, and that everything else was just a coincidence.

but some Judeo-Christian reactionary /d/ucks actually accept evolution as a valid theory with a preponderance of evidence, making it our most valid explanation of the natural world, and 6,000 years old is an incorrect interpretation by Evangelicals.

I'd much prefer a Jewish world order over a Muslim one
Half of the Jews aren't even really that religious anymore anyway

Back to bees:
Clade hymenoptera, far from being a thorn in evolution's side, proves that behavioral biologists know what they're talking about.

They behave exactly as modeled for a species that shares more than 50% of its genes with siblings: extremely prosocial.

Clyde Hymenoptera? Didn't he ride with the James Gang for a brief while?

He tried to join the NAACP, but they didn't want a WASP.

Well, the Psalms do praise the Almighty for "Wine which gladdeneth the heart of a man".

In the interest of science I have decided to give my opinion before reading the OP. Then I will read the OP and let you know if it has changed my opinion.

View before reading the OP: No, it is not.

[New Luckyland]

Ants are hive creatures with specialised subtypes much like bees. Some ants have wing and can fly, although most do not. The reason the non-flying ants do not have wings is because the genes to grow wings are switched off.

It seems likely that the species ants and bees descended from already had wings. Some species of insects just abandoned wings because they did not need them.

No this is not evidence of intelligent design.

[New Luckyland]

Further to my work I read the whole damn thread. I learnt two new things,

Insect wings were probably evolved from gills.

There is a species of lesbian lizards that reproduce by parthanogenesis.

Hot.

I bet fifty bucks humans will be doing this by the year 2100.

I think the only reason why we're so interested in fucking bees is because of memes.

To answer the question posed by the OP, of course not.

[Olthar]

No, of course not. They kill themselves after one sting. How is that an intelligent design? What's next? A beetle that blows itself up? Bees were clearly made by a shit-flinging moron.

[Anarcho-Centrism]

But how on earth did these outgrowths ever catch on as wings? It's crazy.
As for your gliding thing, can a creature with such small gliding-things and such a fat body even glide in the first place?

"I think this lifeform is weird and as a certified armchair 'scientist' I don't understand how it could have evolved the way it did, but have done no extensive investigation of my own, therefore I will simply assume that it means God snapped his fingers and made the world in seven days 6,000 years ago or something"
"???"

Tbh seems like this is just a cleverly devised HW thread almost

"I don't understand how a being superior to me and my species could have guided the creation of the workd, so I'll assume it was all completely random, and the fact that the world is filled with fully-functioning life forms is a complete coincidence, and then call my beliefs the rational and more likely ones"
As you can see, it goes both ways.

Uhh...Since when do people don't get the concept of a creator god? That isn't where the confusion lies in my experience.
Your "No you" isn't constructed very well.
And what makes life so special that it can't be a coincidence if a planet has it anyways?

Except no one argued that there was no possible species "superior" than humans. We also are not assuming it was competent random. We have a very well-substantiated scientific theory that illustrates speciation. Our beliefs are rational, because we have evidence to support them.
