VANILLA - 

A Little History!

Nearly everyone has enjoyed a yummy 
bowl of vanilla ice cream. 

It is a wonderfully delicious dessert.

 

However, vanilla ice cream wouldn't even 
exist if evolution were true.   

Let's start out with a little history. 
Until more recent times, 

Mexico was the only producer of vanilla. 
In the 1520s, a man by the name of Hernán Cortés 
traveled down to Mexico 
and loved vanilla. 

So he brought some back with him to Europe.

For the next 300 years, 
the Europeans tried but were never able 
to produce vanilla. 
You see, vanilla grows up a tree as a vine. 
Eventually the vine produces an orchid.  
In order to make the vanilla bean, 
the orchid must be pollinated. 



The problem is, it only blooms one morning 
per year for pollination. 
If it isn't pollinated within 12 hours, it withers. 

To make things more difficult, 
a hood like membrane covers the part 
of the vanilla orchid which produces pollen.
This makes the production of the 
vanilla bean very difficult.   

In 1836, Charles François Antoine Morren 
traveled down to Mexico to figure out why 
they weren't able to produce vanilla beans in Europe. 

As Morren was studying 

the vanilla orchids, 
his attention was drawn to a little 
bee (the Mexican Melipona Bee).




This bee landed on the orchid, 
lifted up the little hood like membrane, 
collected pollen, and then 
flew off to the next flower.  This bee 
was pollinating the orchids.
After some time, the orchid produced 
a vanilla bean.  



To this day, the Mexican Melipona Bee 
is the only insect that knows how to pollinate 
the vanilla orchid.   

This simple fact puts evolution in an 
extremely difficult position. 
Without the Mexican Melipona Bee,
we simply would not have vanilla today. 

The bee and the vanilla vine had to be made 
at the exact same time. 
Not to mention, this bee had to be given specific information about how to 
pollinate the vanilla orchid. 

Again, no other insect knows how to do this.
This bee had to be made, designed, 
and purposefully created to 
pollinate the vanilla orchid,
and thus, produce vanilla.

So much of our world points to the Creator. 
As silly as it sounds, 

even vanilla ice cream
proclaims the glory of God. 




So, the next time you sit down to 
enjoy a full bowl of vanilla ice cream, 
remember that you are enjoying a 
tasty treat which is only possible through 
the power of God!
