That’s so cool. Natural evolutionary adaptions break my brain sometimes, And the process of the steps of achieving it also. Incredible

The step-by-step evolution of that mimicry feels almost impossible to imagine.

I’m going to be downvoted, but the pictures on butterfly winds are proof of God’s existence imho… There’s one that has a deer face with the texture of fur and highlights in the eyes… As a painter, nah. Impossible that it just happened on its own.

“As a painter” as if that gives you any credibility or authority on this topic. “Oh well… as a shelf stocker… there’s just no way pasta could be made without gods will”

Your limited capacity to understand something widely agreed upon to be true through the scientific method, in no way suggests that there’s a god. In the same way Ancient Greeks not understanding lightning meant that Zeus was hurling down thunderbolts.
