Oh, it should have been written "Beetles". My apologizes. First, I admit that there are numerous examples that seemingly are impossible to be achieved by "evolution by means of natural selection". But we're trying to explain those examples scientifically. We're not forcing anyone to "believe" the evolution. We're just showing them many evidences and plausible mechanisms. It seems that so far, most people think that the Evolution is much more plausible than the Creation. Second, Hydrogen peroxide is not a particular compound that only the beetle you mentioned produces. (I don't know whether other organisms produce hydroquinone or not, but I think others will, too) In fact, hydrogen peroxide is a common intermediate in many oxygen-consuming reactions (involving flavin and pterin, etc.) We humans also have superoxide dismutase which "inhibits", or more precisely, disproportionates hydrogen peroxide. I think those beetles just found the other use of a compound which otherwise would be wasted. Third, that evolution cannot explain something (at this stage) cannot ensures the validity of the Creation. You need your own evidence that creation is right, not the counter-evidence against the Evolution.
