"In nature, noncoincidental patterns and geometry exist everywhere.
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.
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.
Q: So, what happens when one packs bubbles together on a surface?
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."
