> TONY: The only problem with this being used for your inventive mechanism is when faced with "chicken and egg" problems. Did nectar bearing plants develop ultraviolate patterns because they 'knew' the right species that needed to feed on them, or did those species develop the ability to see and identify those patterns and plants adapt to match?

> dhw: I'm surprised to hear that this is the only problem! “Chicken and egg” applies to all hypotheses. What is the Creationist solution?-This is why I present natures wonders with cooperating organisms such as flowers and butterflies (monarchs and milkweed) and symbiotic relationships. They appear 'made for each other' which may well be the case. Your approach asks the cell community in milkweed to invent a flower that will attract Monarch's.
