• The bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids aren’t even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madman’s conception of a giant intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites; they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive.

• Even something as complex as the eye has appeared several times; for example, in the squid, the vertebrates, and the arthropods. It's bad enough accounting for the origin of such things once, but the thought of producing them several times according to the modern synthetic theory makes my head swim

• La resistencia de los insectos a un plaguicida se notificó por primera vez en 1947 en la mosca doméstica (Musca domestica) con respecto al DDT. Desde entonces se ha notificado resistencia a uno o más plaguicidas en al menos 225 especies de insectos y otros artrópodos. Las variantes genéticas necesarias para la resistencia a los más diversos tipos de plaguicidas estaban aparentemente presentes en cada una de las poblaciones expuestas a estos compuestos artificiales.

• We can now determine, easily and relatively cheaply, the detailed chemical architecture of genes ; and we can trace the products of these genes ( enzymes and proteins ) as they influence the course of embryology . In so doing we have made the astounding discovery that all complex animal phyla - arthropods and vertebrates in particular - have retained, despite their half-billion years of evolutionary independence, an extensive set of common genetic blueprints for building bodies.
