Even with millions of years and &#8220;tiny mutations over time of trial and error&#8221;, it still doesn&#8217;t stand to reason. I am grappling with how this &#8220;evolution&#8221; happens. I&#8217;ve seen a documentary <a title=\"What Plants Talk About - Documentary\" href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/qwF-ZENphHw?t=18m22s\" target=\"_blank\">(&#8220;What Plants Talk About&#8221;)<\/a> that demonstrates when a Tobacco plant is attacked and eaten by a type of caterpillar, the plant then releases a chemical that attracts the predator of that particular bug. So the plant saves itself by calling for help. How is that possible? How does the plant know what type of bug is eating it? How does the plant even &#8220;sense&#8221; what chemicals bugs put off? It has no chemical receptors (a nose). It has no brain. It has no nervous system. And how does it keep up with the chemical changes in other bug species. How does it know that a particular bug eats another bug? And please don&#8217;t say &#8220;time&#8221; and &#8220;mutations&#8221; or &#8220;God&#8221;.
