Re: addendum to previous post, Bible inerrancy
quote:
(Noah's ark, if God could design bees that make hive cells with hexagons and rhombic dodecahedrons with superb angles [provides outstanding storage capabilities with very little beeswax used. Fontenelle, the secretary of the French Academy was amazed and the cell design as said it used the highest mathematics. Remember bees have non-mammalian brains so abstract thought is not conceivable], God could help Noah to construct a great ark)
Just a factual correction. Bee's cells are not designed, either by God or evolution. If you isolate a bee constructing a cell, it makes a cylindrical cell - circular cross-section. However, if many cells are constructed in a tight packing space, they adopt a hexagonal cross-section, because the hexagon is on of the handful of geometrical figures that allows complete tight packing with no gaps, and also one of the most efficient(if not the most efficient) in material useage.
