VULTURE BEES EVOLVED OR DESIGNED TO EAT MEAT? -BY DAVID RIVES

Vulture Bees Evolved or Adapted to Eat Meat? -by David Rives

According to secularists, these bees have evolved to get their protein only from dead meat. We know that God created these bees to do what they do. From the beginning, He gave them the information needed to feast on carrion. While the bees adapted to eat dead flesh after the fall in the garden, this isn’t due to evolving over 80 million years as suggested by secularists. Without God’s environmental clean-up system, the world would be full of decaying plants and animals, which would lead to more disease. It’s a good reminder to be thankful for the system God has put in place to help keep the world clean.
