Why the creationists are wrong
One simple answer....the giraffe. All mammals have a recurrent laryngeal nerve, which runs from the brain to the larynx. Creationists dispute that evolution does not exist, and that all organisms on this earth were put here by God in their present forms (utter bollocks). Anyways, either God isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, or evolution has occured. Please note that Darwinists do not dispute that there is a God, just that things have happened since those origanal organisms appeared (well, to be fair, we think that the first organism was a string of RNA, but God may have made the conditions right for it to happen.....possibly....). Back to the giraffe. This wee chap has a very long neck, however its larynx is situation near the top, so clearly if this "Intelligent design" were to be intelligent, this giraffes laryngeal nerve would follow the path as the crow flies. Oh noooo, this nerve goes the scenic route, ROUND THE HEART, and back up to the brain. I really don't even know why these creationsts and I.D guys don't just give it up, they have no argument whatsoever. It transpires that the giraffes earliest ancestor was a fish, which had the laryngeal nerve looped around the right subclavian artery.
So there's an interesting fact to wow your friends with. Here's another. Killifish like to eat only small guppies, proving that size does matter (at least when it comes to natural and artificial selection), and that biologists can be evil, eveil people setting up such cruel, yet interesting experiments.

And here was me thinking that the world was created in seven days - you have just turned my world upside down :0) Very interesting scientific data though
