During the pupa stage, the creature’s body <strong>an</strong>d org<strong>an</strong>s <strong>an</strong>d even its very cells dissolve into acellular liquid referred to as “SOUP.”“Cell death is programmed. If you kill the wrong cells, you are in deep trouble. It’s very carefullyengineered. You’re going to save some of the cell population so you have to know where you’regoing to end up before you start” (Metamorphosis, DVD, Illustra Media, 2011).This “soup” reorg<strong>an</strong>izes itself into a beautiful butterfly!Dr. David Stone observes:“This is so far beyond the best of hum<strong>an</strong> technology, that words fail. Hire the brightest scientists <strong>an</strong>d engineerson the pl<strong>an</strong>et, give them <strong>an</strong> unlimited budget, even unto trillions of dollars, <strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong> open-ended schedule, <strong>an</strong>dhow likely is it that they could generate such a ‘soup’? Zero. This is yet <strong>an</strong>other example that there is notheory of evolution, or even a wild speculation, to account for such <strong>an</strong> ubiquitous little creature as a butterfly.”When it is ready to emerge, the butterfly taps onto the front of the pupa with its legs <strong>an</strong>d thepupal skin breaks <strong>an</strong>d opens in front like a door. The butterfly exits <strong>an</strong>d suspends itself in orderto pump the veins of its wings full of fluid to unfold them. This takes about 15 minutes. It alsojoins the two segments of its proboscis to form one sucking tube. It knows how to do all of this,though it has never existed in this form before.The caterpillar has 16 short legs, a chewing mouth, six simple eyes that see only in black <strong>an</strong>dwhite, eats leaves, <strong>an</strong>d crawls. The butterfly has six long articulated legs, a sucking mouth,<strong>an</strong>tennae, a proboscis, four wings, reproductive org<strong>an</strong>s, two complicated compound eyes that c<strong>an</strong>see in color, drinks nectar, <strong>an</strong>d it c<strong>an</strong> fly!The ch<strong>an</strong>ge has been likened to a Model-T Ford forming its own garage <strong>an</strong>d then within thatgarage disassembling itself <strong>an</strong>d then reassembling itself into a high-tech helicopter <strong>an</strong>d flyingoff. Even this would not be nearly as dramatic, though, as the real ch<strong>an</strong>ge that occurs throughbutterfly metamorphosis.Metamorphosis is described even by secular biologists as a “miraculous ch<strong>an</strong>ge of form.” Theyadmit that “there is no evidence how such a remarkable pl<strong>an</strong> of life ever came about” (PeterFarb, The Insects, Life Nature Library, p. 56).Science journalist Richard Milton says, “To say that this process is not understood ... me<strong>an</strong>s thatno stage or aspect of this physical process c<strong>an</strong> be accounted for or even guessed at with ourcurrent knowledge of chemistry, physics, genetics, or molecular biology, extensive though theyare” (Shattering the Myths of Darwinism, p. 220).Michael Pitm<strong>an</strong>, who taught biology at Cambridge, asks how it would be possible formetamorphosis to have evolved:307
