Personally, I was always fond of the silly explanation they gave for WHY this thing started flying ...
It was using its wings as a bug catching net.
I suppose thats why most engineers are creationists, because they have to actually design, build, and make something work.
The biologist is free to envision explanations and if enough other biologists think it is a reasonable explanation, it makes it into a science textbook as fact.
Absolutely false.
> most engineers are creationists
Hogwash. I've worked with engineers nonstop for the past ten years, from one side of the country to the other. Out of more than a hundred I've gotten to know, three, *maybe* five were creationists, while at least 80% were pretty clear evolutionists. You see, engineers don't have the experience of animals, plants, stars or anything else simply "poofing" into existence.
On the other hand, engineers have generally had the experience of natural forces working away on things.
