Natures wonders: Saharan ants survive heat (Introduction)

David's comment: My usual question. If the hairs did not develop their shape quickly, how did the ants survive the heat to conduct their lives, while the shape was refined?-I'm not sure if you wouldn't regard this as adaptation rather than innovation, but in the wider context, the same “usual question” arises: do the cell communities take their own decisions? I agree that the ants would have had to develop their shape quickly. What does that mean for you? That God intervened and did a twiddle? God had preprogrammed the hairs 3.8 billion years ago? All for the sake of humans? Or is it possible that God did not do any “guiding”, but invented a mechanism that enabled some organisms to make changes to themselves in response to changing environmental conditions? -Another revealing post. Thank you.
