Intelligent design?

Well plates of death

When sitting in a white dark room and doing electrophoresis, one has enough free capacities to think. To think about the real fascinating phenomena in this world. For example about Daphnia fitting perfectly into the well plates used in allozyme electrophoresis. These wells look like little bathtubs. Although, rating the Daphnia's fate within the next couple of minutes, the wells are rather cute coffins. Or are these suiciding Daphnia, ready to cut their antennas with a razor blade in a warm bath where the blood flows easily and death is comfortable? But I digress - I wanted to say that this perfect match of the twelve little Daphnia into these twelve wells can't be a coincidence, can it? It looks too perfect, matches as if it had been planed by a clever chap. So were the Daphnia intelligently designed by Him to fit into these wells? (Of course it was Me who placed them in this wells for this time, just if there will be ever some priority claims between Him and Me.) But then, how comes that He's that cruel, creating harmless, innocent animals, that are perfectly designed to be mass-executed? They won't be shot right on the spot with a six-shot colt, but the 12-fold applicator awaiting them ain't much better.If anybody can throw some light on that observation and the subsequent interpretations, I'm happy to learn more about it. It would somehow disburden my conscience when continuing with electrophoresis.

PS 1: Is it a sign of worship, when some people (let's say, we don't tell the name, but only give a little hint) have instant noodle soup on their menu list as well as in their cupboard quite often?

PS 2: While seeing 12 little Daphnia whose short lives are fading away, there are some differences. Most die innocent (and happyless?), but at least nr. 5 and 9 had their joy in life.

PS 3: 12? Yes 12! 12 in the wells! You haven't got it? Well, then you are on the wrong track. Ever heard anything about disciples?
