For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible.... Colossians 1:16
But the number six appears to overshadow nature’s mathematical landscape.
Whether in beehives, rock formations, or insect eyes, the number six,
specifically hexagonal geometry, stands front and center.
Q: Could this
just be a mathematical coincidence, or is there something more to this
widespread hexagonal geometry?
Soap bubbles provide a simple, but excellent, illustration of how this
underlying hexagonal property is revealed.
---A bubble is just some volume
of gas surrounded by liquid, but it 
has a clear shape.
---Liquid molecules
reach maximum stability when the attraction is balanced.
---This pushes
liquids to adopt shapes with the least surface.
---In zero gravity, this
attraction pulls water into round shapes.
---Inside thin soap films, the
attraction between soap molecules shrinks the bubble until the pull of
surface tension is balanced by the air pressure pushing out. Bubbles are
round because a sphere is the most efficient shape to enclose the
maximum volume with the least surface area.
A: A sphere is a three-dimensional shape, but the cross-section is a circle. Rigid circles of equal diameter can cover, at most, 90% of the area on a plane. But bubbles aren’t rigid. When two equal-size bubbles coalesce, a flat intersection manifests between them. When three coalesce, walls meet at 120˚.
For four bubbles, instead of a square intersection, the bubbles will
always rearrange themselves so that their intersections are 120˚, the
same angle that defines a hexagon. This arrangement minimizes the
perimeter for a given area. In fact, in the late 19th
century, Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau calculated that 120˚ junctions
are also the most mechanically stable arrangement; the forces on the
films are all in balance. Not only does this arrangement
minimize the perimeter, but the pull of surface tension in each
direction is also the most mechanically stable.
Evolutionists theorize that the universe came into being by random
means.
Randomness inherently lacks symmetry,
as the concept of symmetry
implies order.
Quite simply, randomness lacks any evidence of design
because if design is demonstrated to any degree, that would imply it’s
no longer random. Nature, on the contrary, doesn’t display randomness.
In reality, as evidenced by the number six, nature exhibits quite the
opposite. Ultimately, hexagonal geometry is exhibited in beehives, rock
formations, turtle shells, and insect eyes because the same perfect
Designer designed them all in perfect proportion, unison, and harmony." ICR
