Given its sedentary lifestyle and soft body, the Chinese Collins' Monster would have been a sitting duck for any predators, so it developed an impressive defence mechanism: as many as 72 sharp and pointy spikes of various sizes covering its body, making it one of the earliest soft-bodied animals to develop armour for protection.

I like how they talk as if the worm decided it needed spikes and willed them into existence. If animals in the past could will themselves defense mechanisms, surely we humans are on the downward of the evolutionary ladder.

...so it developed an impressive defence mechanism:

How many millions of failures happened along the way?

It never occurs to them that God designed them that way.............

No. The animals with spikes survived while those without were eaten.

The animals did not mentally develop spikes because they needed them for survival - God did that for them.

How boring if God just creates everything. How much more interesting for God to use evolution and watch how things turn out!

God created the Universe. We are just on the first steps to understanding how God actually does things.
