’Scuse me, but how can something created by random chance be a “mistake”? IF there is no driven intelligence behind this animal, there cannot be a mistake. Yet science seems to still declare it so. BECAUSE it must, subconsciously recognize a creator in the design. You try to look up the evolutionary step ladder for the giraffe, the elephant, hippo, platypus, and many others, science may try to give an explanation of how they came to look as they do, but there is NO fossil evidence for ANY links. Scientists will look at others, like the horse, and then infer “the same must have happened to X,” but if you truly study the fossils, you will see each of these “developments” of the horse can be classified as a separate species. And all the while, they are preserved in the record, there is nothing for the others I mentioned. nowhere.

A question for Oliver… If they are “Doomed”, how do they continue to reproduce, and spread?

We still don’t see them falling out of the skies from coronary episodes.
If you want a dead end, think pandas with only one food source with the least amount of nutrition.

Unless they get hit by a wind gust, hummingbirds can’t fly upside down. Sorry to be pooper number two, so to speak.

This comic seems to be bashing scientists lately. Was it taken over by the ghost of Johnny Hart?
