The Earthquake-Proo f Design in Honeycombs Quran Chapter: 47 , Verse: 15 The example of the Paradise which the cautious have been promised in it, there are rivers of unstaling water, and rivers of milk that never change in flavor, and rivers of wine, delectable to the drinkers, and rivers of pure, filtered honey. They shall have therein ofevery fruit and forgiveness from their Lord. Are they then like he who shall live in the Fire for ever and given boiling water to drink that tears his bowels apart! Quran Chapter: 16 , Verse: 69 Eat every kind of fruit, and follow the easy ways of your Lord. ' From its belly comes fortha drink (honey) of many hues in which there is healing for people. Surely, in this there is a sign for a nation who reflect. The construction of honeycombs offers a great many important advantages, including stability. As the bees in the hive give directions to one another in the so-called “waggle dance,” they set up vibrations that, ina structure of such small dimensions, can be equated to an earthquake. The walls of the comb absorb these potentially damaging vibrations. Nature magazine stated that architects could use this superior structure in designing earthquake-proo f buildings. Included in the report was the following statement by Jurgen Tautz of the University ofWurzburg, in Germany: Vibrations in honeybee nests are like miniature earthquakes generated by the bees,so it’s very interesting to see how the structure responds to it... Understanding the phase reversal could help architects predict which parts of a building will be especially vulnerable to earthquakes... They could then strengthen these areas, or even introduce weak spots into non-critical areas of buildings to absorb harmful vibrations. 102 As this all shows, the combs that bees construct with such flawless precision expertise are marvels of design. This structurewithin the comb thus paves the way for architects and scientists, giving them new ideas. It isn’t chance that allows bees to construct their combs so perfectly, as evolutionists claim, but God, the Lord of infinite might and knowledge, Who gives them that ability.
