    I knew a guy when we were both in final year of a biomed bachelor. He was a creationist

    Don’t know how he went that long without finding something that challenges that viewpoint

      Like what kind? Believing in higher powers doesn’t have to mean that you don’t belive in evolution/natural adaptation taking place over time.

      If it was “God made everything in a few earth days and nothing changed” then yeah I feel you

    This is a particularly unhinged image. Fantastic.

    That must be one determined bird. One does not simply defy evolution.

      One does not simply defy evolution.

      It didn’t.

      It evolved to be flightless because it was useless on an island with no predators, it drowned when the sea levels rose and covered the island, its closest relative (from whose ancestor it had evolved) flew back to the island once the sea levels fell, it evolved to be flightless because it was useless on an island with no predators.

      It’s evolution all the way down.

      It went extinct because the sea levels rose and the island it inhabits was entirely under water. Honestly, we’re headed that direction - they might be in trouble again in relatively quick order.

      Even if they could float, and reach the coast, they’d have immediately gone extinct due to not being adapted to having predators and being outcompeted by their flying relatives.
