The Stretch of the Giraffe - mhs
... When people think of a giraffe, the first thing that they might think of is their immensely long necks, which is an essential adaptation to their survival. Although, have you ever thought about how those long necks came to be? The main and absolutely sure reason is due to evolution. Evolution has al ...

Comparing Creation and Evolution

The theory of evolution (as described in textbooks and the scientific literature) argues for a non-intelligent cause ...
