@hingehead,
Thanks Hinge, for the resize.
The experiment re the program thing is rather easy to prove. Mud wasps keep coming back, long after you've removed their nest, and ants keep heading to their queen long after she's gone. Paper wasps just hang around the nest site. No activity, until they die.
A close-up of the eye structure of any arthropod shows a detailed complex geodesic compilation so unlike anything that's found in any other creature.
Then take a look at their mitts. I'm convinced they are alien beings, and from fossil evidence, we can actually tell when they arrived on this planet, and track their evolution.
These (specific) little critters didn't bring their anuses with them when they evolved to live in the pores of our facial skin, so when they die, they actually explode.
