I'm going to throw something at you that you and other atheist throw at Christians, bring your proof we do not have time to go look up this stuff or at least post references, this is part of a forum discussion, so where's your proof.

This is why no one bothers with you. You claim no evidence has been provided, yet announce you're too lazy to visit a single link, or view a video.
There seems to be a common trend here...

the influence of closely associated species on each other in their evolution.
Your argument assumes:
1. Evolution does not take place
2. Therefore the plant and bee have always been in the same form there are now.
The more likely scenario: The bee and food source co-evolved over a long period of time, thus appear in the form they are today.
The Vanilla Bean orchid is estimated to be 60-70 million years old. Do you think it might have changed in that amount of time?
Quote:Bees, the largest (>16,000 species) and most important radiation of pollinating insects, originated in early to mid-Cretaceous, roughly in synchrony with the angiosperms (flowering plants). Understanding the diversification of the bees and the coevolutionary history of bees and angiosperms requires a well supported phylogeny of bees (as well as angiosperms). We reconstructed a robust phylogeny of bees at the family and subfamily levels using a data set of five genes (4,299 nucleotide sites)http://www.pnas.org/content/103/41/15118.full
Do you think some of the 16,000 species bees may have adapted to the plants they evolved to feed from?
Too lazy to read this, too lazy to visit a link, don't bother to read anything about evolution.
Not our fault you have a severe Google disability brought on by advanced case of Creationitis.
