CIRA International debunk Quran; Solomon hearing ants speak?

In answer to the video "Solomon could talk to ants? Scientific Miracles of the Quran EP.13"

In 27:18, the Arabic QAWL, which describes the communication of the ants among eachother, is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means communicating in any way possible and not necessarily through soundwaves. Effectively, it doesnt say that Solomon's reaction to the ants' communication was due to his hearing them and neither does he talk back to them. Solomon was granted the ability to detect and understand their type of communication, which consists of chemical signals. In constrast, we see further in that passage the prophet Solomon talking back to the hoophoe, the messenger bird, using clear speech. This is because both Solomon and the bird could communicate through soundwaves. 

The verse about the ants describes them as having recognized Solomon during his travel. It is interesting to note that sometimes a single ant colony can stretch for kilometers, with information passing all throughout it. Meaning a group of ants can be aware of information connected to a distant location. They are also known to possess a level of collective intelligence allowing them to perform complex tasks requiring the participation of individuals spread throughout the colony, without each of those individuals being shown or explained the problem to resolve. Although, as already shown, the verse does not state that the saying of the ant was in the form of human speech, some critics among Christians and Jews have denigrated this miracle, forgetting what their own scriptures say about God giving even to animals, such as a donkey, the ability to utter a clear speech Numb22:21-30. That is besides the talking serpent in the creation account which is one of the reasons leading certain embarrassed Christians and Jews to see the whole story as an allegory, although nothing in it hints at the author intending to write a fiction. The serpent which was blamed by Eve was actually not a regular snake, but a snake like creature. The Torah says it was very intelligent, and could communicate, and that implicitly could have stood erect prior to being inflicted with the divine curse. It is worthwhile noting, snakes have muscles that could be used for walking, they even have the right genes to develop limbs. In pythons the gene is sometimes triggered causing small claws to protrude from their skin: They are beginning to develop limbs).

That ability of the prophet Solomon, although absent from the Torah, transpires in the rabbis' understanding of 1Kings3:15, deriving from the Talmud that upon Solomon's awakening from a sleep during which he received revelation, he was granted, along with riches, honor, wisdom, the ability to understand the language of animals so much so that

"He would hear a bird chirp and understand its language, a dog would bark and he would understand its language".

This kind of supernatural dominion over all kinds of creatures of the earth is a great favor from God and also a tremendous test. That authority was divinely granted even to non-believing people, such as the powerful Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar often called God's "servant" because of him being God's means by which destruction was inflicted upon His enemies Jer25:9,27:6,Dan2:38.
