Their tongues are not only long, some up to 10 inches, where most other birds tongues only go to the end of their beak, it has little barbs on it to help when they stab their little bug meals and it also has a little 'glue' factory to help hold the little bug meals that it stabs and of course it also has another little factory built into it so that when it retracts the little bug meal on the end of it's tongue back into it's mouth it desolves the 'glue' that it manufactures. Their skull is the heaviest and thickest of any animal compared to it's size and has built in 'shock absorbers' to protect the contents of its head, in fact brain surgeons study these little creatures to help them in dealing with patients who have suffered head trauma in order to repair them as best as they can. Very fascinating creatures. If some one wants to believe that they just evolved all of their incredible systems then ok. But like other creatures the creatures in the fossil record are either extinct or THEY STILL EXIST TODAY. Like the ever popular coelacanth, a lobe finned fish 'believed' to have gone extinct over 65 million years ago but in 1938 fishermen off the east coast of South Africa caught one and now they can be found in captivity in aquariums around the world. It is the same as the supposed 65 millionn year old fossil ones. What happened to that fella? Someone forgot to tell him to 'evolve'? He fell of the 'evolutionary' ladder?
How young or old are the lowest metamorphic layers in the Grand Canyon?Quote:

Is the Colorado river there because there is a canyon or is the canyon there because there is a river? How long did it take the river to erode away that much rock? How will it look in a million years? Ten million? A hundred million? Can we extrapolate backwards in time?
Is degree of curiosity a limiting factor?
So, you know someone who believes that? What religion is that? He didn't die for anyone. and he didn't do anything for anyone.Quote:
