The Mystery of the Exploding Beetle
Webb, M. 2020.  Answers 15(1):50-58. CELD ID 27518

Abstract
When Dr. Andy McIntosh investigated the bombardier beetle, he discovered explosive evidence of God's intricate design. In 1903 the Wright brothers succeeded with controlled powered flight because they asked the right question: "How do birds use their wings?" Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, wondered how we could hold a computer in the palm of our hand. He succeeded with the iPhone because he asked the right question. History is filled with engineers who asked the right question. From airplanes to smartphones, we couldn't imagine our lives without these modern inventions. While the names and technology above might be familiar to you, our story involves someone you might not know-Dr. Andy McIntosh. And the mystery he is trying to solve is on a much smaller scale than airplanes or smartphones. Andy has spent over 40 years in the fields of thermodynamics and engineering. For nearly 20 of those years, he's focused his attention on a little insect whose explosive tendencies have inspired exciting research and discoveries, all pointing to the Creator.
