See Romans 8 the whole chapter, and vs 22 "For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." So we see the glory of God in the design of the leaf curling spider and probably the effects of the Fall. Photos and drawing are done by myself- JGL.
"Phonognatha graeffei, referred to as the Leaf curling spider, is a common Australian spider found in woodlands and urban areas in the north-eastern, eastern and southern states. A small member of the Araneidae family, the orb-weavers...The spider is distinguished by having a curled leaf at the centre of its web, in which it shelters. The species form pairs living together in the same leaf, though at opposite ends of their shelter, even before mating at maturity.The female creates a separate curled leaf "nursery" hung in foliage nearby...The leaf-curling spiders are day-active orb weavers, protecting themselves from predators by sitting inside their silk-seamed, curled leaf. In P. graeffeithis leaf is suspended just above the centre of the web, but may be placed higher in other species...The spider is commonly found in open woodland and forest habitats, as well as urban and suburban gardens in the north-eastern, eastern and southern Australian states." From Wikipedia online 7-17-17. Please note that females eating males may be a post Fall characteristic. What the spiders ate before the Fall and did they "need" the leaf for protection before the Fall, I am not sure of. But, it is clear that all the Creation was corrupted after the sin of Adam and Eve.

Psalm 57:
5 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; let thy glory be above all the earth. 6 They have prepared a net for my steps; my soul is bowed down: they have digged a pit before me, into the midst whereof they are fallen themselves. Selah. 7 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. 8 Awake up, my glory; awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early. 9 I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: I will sing unto thee among the nations. 10 For thy mercy is great unto the heavens, and thy truth unto the clouds. 11 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: let thy glory be above all the earth. King James Version (KJV)Public Domain Psalm 147 (KJV)
1Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely. 2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel. 3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. 7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: 8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. 9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. 10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. 11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. 12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

This can be consistent with a worldwide flood like the Noah Flood. The flowers reveal the beauty and glory of God. Seek Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins while he may be found. See section on Theology this website for more information. "What is a cell? Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. Cells also contain the body’s hereditary material and can make copies of themselves. Cells have many parts, each with a different function. Some of these parts, called organelles, are specialized structures that perform certain tasks within the cell." from: https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/primer/basics/cell It is amazing to me that most of us at one time or another have been enamored by mankind's artistic representation or manipulation of live forms. But, where was man when God spoke them into exsistence? Or, do we really believe that self existing matter coagulated together and slowly increased in complexity by some unknown process till the 1st cell was formed.? Is that happening today? NO. It is tragic that mankind can be so self-absorbed and choose to not see God's imprint on the Creation. (Yet, we must remember that the Bible also says it is corrupted, and breaking down, due to the sin of the initial man, Adam, and those after him.) Yet, in the non-simple complete complex building block of life we can see God if we choose to do so.
For evolution to be a reasonable hypothesis there should be demonstrated in nature simple organisms as well as complex ones. Yet, all living organsims are complex as well as those found in the fossil record. There is not found the supposed incrasing complexity of life either in the fossils or living forms. As well, there should be no stasis of life forms. There should be no living dragonflies-as they should have died out or "evolved" to a "more complex form" according to the evolutionary belief system. This is not the case.
