The mighty dung beetle

I was just reading how the humble dung beetle has such a powerful impact on the environment, by burying the dung and thus removing the possibility for so many disease carrying flies to multiply. At the same time the buried dung fertilizes the land. The beetles (worshipped by the ancient Egyptians as scarabs) dig tunnels in the land so that the water can infiltrate it and reduce terrain erosion, while increasing the amount of water that just stays and is useful to the plants.

The same beetle helps reduce land and water contamination with the microbes carried by animal faeces. Greg Dalton believes that dung beetles were present in the Garden of Eden: “Dung beetles cannot exist without the animals to produce the dung. And the animals rely on the dung beetles to bury the dung to keep microbes from causing disease and to fertilize the soil so that lots of grass will grow to feed the animals. They depend on each other.”

He also states that “Ecological systems demand that all the components be present from the start, otherwise it just does not work!”, which proves that the creation was short, everything was there at the beginning.

I will just end with “If evolution were true, then the microbe from which we are all supposed to have evolved must have had an incredibly complex gene pool as it would have to have contained all the genes of every subsequent species, from which all species have evolved by natural selection as the gene pool is reduced. This doesn’t make sense because a living organism with that degree of genetic complexity would hardly be a microbe!” a statement which delivers a final blow against evolution.
