How can anyone keeps bees and understands the symbiotic relationship between
the bee and flower not see the hand of perfect design.  Really, to believe
this relationship a result of evolution, one is forced to believe that at
some point the plant decided on its own it would be necessary to produce a
substance to attract the bee to be a integral part of its reproduction
process.  If this were the case, then when did it begin?  What did the plant
do prior to this revelation?  How did it reproduce? How many types substances
did it try before finally hitting upon the nectar formula?
 
What about the bee, what prompted it to strike up a relationship with the
flower?
 
All of this is too fanciful to believe in the context of evolution.
 
I would be most interested in discussing this with anyone at length.
