   Twelve Days of Xmas - Day 12 Evolution

   The twelve days of Xmas actually start on Xmas day, but this is a   
   countdown to Xmas showing why the young-Earth creationists are clueless.   
      
   David Attenborough narrated a series titled "Life Story" this year, and   
   every episode of it is a direct indictment of Creationism.  The only way   
   any of this makes sense is because there was, in fact, not a creation,   
   but evolution.   
      
   Consider, for example, the Barnacle goose, featured in the very first   
   episode.   
      
   The goslings enter life hatched from eggs laid tens of feet to hundreds   
   of feet up a cliff.  The only way they can get down is to simply leap   
   over the edge of the cliff.   
      
   They have about a three in five chance of survival, and they can survive   
   the fall if they're lucky because they're so light, and they have a small   
   amount of aerodynamism produced by their stubby wings which are useless   
   for flight at that age.   
      
   Unfortunately, in the documentary in one instance three of the goslings   
   survived the plummet, only to be eaten by a fox as soon as they reached   
   the bottom.   
      
   The moronic creationists want us to believe that an infinitely loving god   
   purposefully created this.  Bullshit.  They dickheads one and all, and   
   that's all there is to creationism.
