The Eastern Siberian species of the Golden Plover (Pluvialis dominica fulva) migrates from Alaska to Hawaii for the winter. This 2500 mile journey requires non-stop flapping with no rest whatsoever because there are no islands in-between. The flight time is 88 hours, and requires an estimated 250,000 continuous flaps.

Prior to embarking, the Golden Plover puts on an additional 50% of weight (about 70 grams) in a short period of time. This extra fat serves as a source of fuel.

But wait! There is a slight problem facing our feathered friends!

Migration

The phenomenon of migration poses yet another huge hurdle for the evolutionist determined at all costs to not "allow a Divine Foot in the door"¹. Encyclopedia Brittanica began its article on the evolution of migration in very appropriate fashion: "The origins of migration remain in the realm of pure conjecture".² Of course this did not stop the evolutionist author of the article from doing what evolutionists do best: proceeding into the realm of pure conjecture (aka fairy tale)!³

Let's take a closer look at this phenomenon, in particular the migration of the Eastern Siberian Golden Plover.

1. Evolutionist Richard Lewontin once candidly wrote: "We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment to materialismYwe cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." - 'Billions and billions of demons', The New York Review, January 9, 1997, p. 31.

2. "migration" Encyclopædia Britannica Online.

3. Ibid. The author goes on to speculate that selection pressures led to migration, which this show will show is sharply contradicted by the evidence.

Oh well, better luck next time!

This series required a wild (and some would say warped) imagination on my part! But wild imagination coupled with extravagant story-telling ability is exactly what the evolutionist must employ to explain how intricate, inter-dependent systems such as the Giraffe's capillary system can gradually evolve over time!

To say every living thing came about via mindless random processes requires a faith that far exceeds belief in a Supreme Creator. As the renown British physicist Lord Kelvin once wrote: "Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and benevolent design lie around us ... The atheistic idea is so nonsensical that I cannot put it into words."¹

1 - PETA stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. This knucklehead group condemns fetal tissue research on animals while at the same time supporting it on human fetuses! They are more interested in worshipping the creation than the Creator (Romans 1:25). I pride myself as a member of an different organization also called PETA - People who Eat Tasty Animals!

The Giraffe

The giraffe is an unusual animal that contains an interesting design mechanism. Did you know that a full grown giraffe's heart weighs over 24 pounds and pumps 16 gallons a minute? Because the giraffe's heart is much larger than his head, a series of special one-way, back-flow preventer valves are needed in the neck to regulate the flow of blood to the head, especially when the giraffe is bending down to get that much needed drink of water. Without these valves, the immense blood pressure coupled with gravity would make for one nasty headache and other such repercussions. Elastic blood vessels in the giraffe's head allow harboring of enough blood to prevent the giraffe from passing out when bent in this position.

The creationist points out that this intricate design mechanism is, you guessed it, a design! The evolutionist will have you believe that this system evolved with time, that eventually a giraffe mutated merrily along until the valves properly formed in the neck and the elastic blood vessels sufficiently formed in the head (along with other details left out here).

If evolution is true, the struggle for the Giraffe to survive must have been one ugly sight! Let's take a look at one possible outcome...

Sorry Charlie, maybe next time!

Nobel Prize winner and evolutionist Albert Szent-Gyorgyi acknowledged that time, chance, and random mutations could never produce the numerous symbiotic relationships we see all around us (He went on to postulate an impersonal creative force, an "innate drive in living matter" in an attempt to make peace with his faith in evolution)¹.

Let's face it, symbiosis clearly points to a Designer. The lengths an evolutionist must go to explain away this one is beyond fairy tale!

"If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection." - Charles Darwin

   Dunce Cap Classics!

This page is a testimony to the impact evolutionary thinking has on the human brain! It is especially dedicated to all who have earned the famed beanie dunce cap for leaving, as one dunce cap evolutionist ironically once bellowed, “jaw-crackingly stupid” comments in the guestbook. The following represent the cream-of-the-crop of the room-temperature IQ entries that made their way into my guestbook.

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is." - Ecclesiastes 10:2-3

  Mike Hager, 30 Dec 2003 for writing "arguments from personal belief or incredulity are worthless." This after Mike spent his previous 9 posts arguing purely from personal belief and incredulity! (Mike ignored several requests during his 9-post diatribe to give evidence for evolution).

  Ken, 23 Jul 2003, for writing "There are few universal truths out there, and chief among them is "truth is relative". No further comment necessary! Ken received a 2nd honorary dunce-cap for hypocrisy after complaining the first cap "belittled" him, apparently forgetting that in the very post that earned him the cap he had referred to creationists as "dumb... and jaw-crackingly stupid"!

  Raymond Melnik, 14 Jan 2003, for writing: "Only a complete idiot would create a site like this. You and I are just smart apes, well maybe your not smart." Perhaps our self-described "smart ape" dunce-cap winner should learn to spell! 

  Scott L Page, PhD, 22 Oct 2001, after being challenged to produce a single example where a code arose by purely naturalistic processes, replied with: "Who sent the code in tree rings?". We here at evolutionfairytale.com believe Scott would do himself well to read at least some rudimentary literature on what a code is. In his case we recommend "Information Theory for Dummies".

  Gregor, 05 Mar 2001, notorious for twisting scripture in all kinds of bizarre ways, for writing "If you don't follow God and his inerrant book, he'll make you kill and eat your children (Ezekiel 20:26; Leviticus 26:29; and Deu 28:57)." If you only read the verses Gregor cited, one might get the impression Gregor was right. But all one has to do is read the adjacent verses to see how badly out-of-context Gregor twisted the scripture. He wrote this immediately after accusing me of using out-of-context quotes on the website!

  James, 26 Dec 2000, for his classic roach analogy that once and for all proves man and roaches share a common ancestor! Here's an excerpt: "Soon because of the continued persicution of the black roaches they go extinct. Thus, after a while, the population would be white. Should the floor tile be changed back to black the process would occur again, the only difference would be that the black would be selected for. Thus, in conclusion, creationism is wrong..."    Wow, really rad, dude!

The Cleaner Fish

 Let's first start with the cleaner fish. This fish will swim into a shark's mouth and eat remnant food particles from the shark's teeth. The cleaner fish departs with a satisfied appetite, and the shark is happy because his teeth are cleaned in the process. The shark does not allow any other kinds of fish into its mouth without chomping down for a good lunch. Indeed, what other fish would dare attempt to swim into a shark's mouth! This type of relationship is called a symbiotic relationship. Creationists point out that these relationships clearly represent a design that could not have occurred by chance. Evolutionists have a very difficult time explaining how these types of relationships could evolve with time.

Nevertheless, an evolutionist will somehow have us believe that the cleaner fish eventually figured out he could go in the shark's mouth, and the shark eventually figured out that he should let him so as to maintain proper dental hygiene. The following illustrations portray the likely repercussions of this ill-advised bravery.
