question for all religions

[vajradhara]

Kind of OT, but does anyone know the name of this beetle-like insect that lives on the beach? They can burrow in the sand and live in the ocean, and they are harmless to people. They're whitish or pinkish in color. They can be found in the very shallow part of the ocean - where the waves break. I've seen a group of them, with one the size of a quarter or so in a herd of others that were about minnow-sized. Their dead sometimes wash ashore and you can see their cool-looking exoskeleton, the part that last awhile after the rest of the bug has decayed. I've seen them at N.C. beaches, but I can't for the life I me remember what they're called.

There are more kinds of beetles than kinds of anything else on earth ! there are estimates that beetles may acount for as much as 1 million of the earth's 6 million animal species . only four thousand species of mammals have been identified . this means there are atleast 1,500 type of beetles for every type of mammal .
this prompted the British scientist J.B.S. Haldane to remark that if God exists he has a special liking for beetles.
well my question is from ur religion's point of view ( christian , jewish,muslim,hindu,pagan,bahai,other religion) can u try to explain why God created so many kinds of beetles ? it looks like He took more time creating beetles than creating man . why did He create so many types ?

Maybe it just seemed like a good idea at the time?

1 - beetles are a cure for drepression. no matter how hard thigs are for you, you can look to a beetle and say "yep, my life could be worse...;
2 - to serve as inbspiration to really smart cars and nice music;
3 - birds and frogs demanded a menu full of options;
4 - actually, there was another species of beetles planned... but God Thought it was too much, and Decided to make it cocroaches instead. that caused the first cocroach to swear revenge and since then, it became the greatest enemy of women, God's Most perfect Creation.
5 - God Created a produtivity prize between angels, to see with one could give more ideas about new Animals. The angel who come with the idea of the thousands of beetles won. Oddly enough, that was the angel who was also responsible for Heaven's Xerox machine.

That is very fertile imagination.

 

[sefroth77]

Quran 24:45

And God has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. God creates what He wills for verily God has power over all things.

yeah we can see all these, whats there for god to say ??
