The hummingbird is a very small creature.

* It's brain is about the size of a BB.
* It has a very high metabolism... Needed to keep up with those fast wings!
* Depend only on flower nectar
* Exists between sea level and 17,000'
* Spend their winters in Mexico, the Caribbean Islands, or Central America
* Have been seen flying across the Gulf of Mexico
* Fly as far north as Alaska and the Yukon in the summer time.

All programmed in the creature by the Father himself...

How do you know any of that is factual?

"Did you know that hummingbirds need to eat bugs for protein? They are great little hunters and are very resourceful. They have even been known to steal little bugs out of a spider's web, eat the spider, and then steal the web to build their own nest.

The hummingbirds like to eat small soft bodied insects made up of small arthropods such as gnats, spiders, mosquitoes, aphids, caterpillars, and insect eggs. Another great reason to keep hummingbirds around is to help quell the gnat population that plagues many areas in the summer."

A design requires a Designer, creation requires a Creator. Random chance could not have created the world we live in. The math simply does not allow for that. This world could not have created itself.

I don't think that's true.

Hummingbirds are one of the smarter birds. Like us (and parrots and marmosets), they learn to imitate sounds.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v406/n6796/full/406628a0.html
Abstract:

Hummingbirds have developed a wealth of intriguing features, such as backwards flight, ultraviolet vision, extremely high metabolic rates, nocturnal hibernation, high brain-to-body size ratio and a remarkable species–specific diversity of vocalizations. Like humans, they have also developed the rare trait of vocal learning, this being the ability to acquire vocalizations through imitation rather than instinct. Here we show, using behaviourally driven gene expression in freely ranging tropical animals, that the forebrain of hummingbirds contains seven discrete structures that are active during singing, providing the first anatomical and functional demonstration of vocal nuclei in hummingbirds. These structures are strikingly similar to seven forebrain regions that are involved in vocal learning and production in songbirds and parrots—the only other avian orders known to be vocal learners5. This similarity is surprising, as songbirds, parrots and hummingbirds are thought to have evolved vocal learning and associated brain structures independently, and it indicates that strong constraints may influence the evolution of forebrain vocal nuclei.

I'm going to scream the next time someone who doesn't understand evolution thinks it is random. Evolution is NOT random!

Because you cannot show that God exists and even if you could, you have not shown any causality between the two.

Evidence is not proof. It can not logically "show" the truth. It only points to the truth. You do not really understand what an evidence is.

Hummingbird is an "evidence" of God.
