Yesterday I came across a youtube clip of a giraffe mama giving birth .... pretty fascinating

My attention was drawn away to the "adaption" concept that a giraffe is often used to explain evolution ..... and it occured to me ....

WHY .... would some tiny creature look up from whatever he was eating .... to a tree so miserably out of his reach .... and desire the leaves that he determined in his heart to access ..... and drag his entire extended family along with him ?

How many did he murder by starvation while the evolutionary process accomplished it's ends ?

Does he miss the easy pickin's of the ground smorgasbord that is now no longer available to him ?

Does he ever wonder ... "What was I thinking ?"

Yes, absurd, isn’t it.

If anything, the giraffe is a showcase for God’s creation.

The idea that long giraffe necks resulted from from the more successful/long-necked giraffes having more offspring than those with shorter necks was first proposed by Darwin, which only proves that Darwin didn't know much about giraffes. The average male giraffe has a neck about a foot longer than the average female giraffe. If only the longest-necked giraffes survived to have offspring, the females would have died out quickly, making the giraffes extinct. Whatever the reason for giraffes having long necks, it doesn't support Darwin's theory. Which is not an argument that natural selection doesn't exist, but only that one must beware of"just so" stories.
