Me: Show me the creationist, err ID-ist explanation for this phenomenon:
the recurrent laryngeal nerve. post 339
Normal biology does in fact have an explanation.
nmh: I don't have to prove anything to you.
It's OBVIOUS.
Do you really think your post #339 SIMPLY EVOLVED?
Do you really believe that humans EVOLVED from APES?
Do you really believe that inanimate material created LIFE?
REALLY?
LOL!
It's sheer impossible!
It appears neither nmh nor sampleman is up to it
Can any creationist or IDist give a coherent explanation of the recurrent laryngeal nerve?
In particular, why is a giraffe's fifteen feet longer than seems necessary?
Well, I for one, feel sorry for those giraffes with those long necks...whenever I watch a nature program on Tv, and see them trying to get a drink at a pool of water, it looks so awkward....and its dangerous...when they have to splay out their legs in order to get their heads and mouths down to the water, they are vulnerable to attack by predators...it all looks so clumsy and awkward, and its dangerous...
In some of the books I have been reading, I take note of the great length of the tremendously long necks of many of the dinosaurs...some of those necks are actually almost as long as the body...again, it just looks so awkward...
Tho how any of this relates to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, I will need to have explained to me...
If it were any shorter, it wouldn't reach all the way to its head. Really now, give me a tougher one.
I've been told its longer because longer necks give dominance in male mating. I've also been told its because it provides access to higher browsing. Both would appear to be logical reasons that natural selection would lead to longer necked giraffes, and we must all agree that the long neck hasn't proven too much of a hinderance, as the animals are doing just fine. My only point is that the reason for the long neck could be only one of them, and the other is just a side benefit. I'll get really crazy here and say it could have been a mutation that could be coped with.
What is it that YOU think I'm guilty of? I can't keep all the accusations straight any more.
