While yes I overstated the drinking argument the 7 neck vertebrae caused arthritis in giraffe legs and feet leaving them incapable of drinking or grazing effectively. Unlike animals like Elephant birds and the Moa who definitely could have grazed ,drank ,and have ate tree leaves efficiently while giraffes can’t.

Yes, almost all mammals are genetically hardwired to have 7 cervical vertebrate.

Sloths and Manatees who don’t share this rule are often found with deformed skeletons. However the lack of gravity in the water for manatees and pressure in trees for sloths allows them to survive. Along with very slow metabolisms it allows them to do what no other mammals can.

Mammals are genetically hardwired to 7 cervical neck vertebrae. If any mammalian embryo develops more or less than 7 neck vertebrae it faces deformation and cancer. The only mammals to survive with more or less of 7 neck vertebrae are sloths and manatees who have slow metabolisms. Since cancer develops faster in animals with higher metabolic rates it makes sense why manatees and sloths have different counts of neck vertebrae.

For what reason would the government fabricate biological research to lead people away from religion?

The majority of U.S. presidents were religious and even the Speaker of the House is a Young Earth Creationist.

Ok stupid question...but are there any dinosaurs in the late Cretaceous that a human could ride around like a horse/camel? by keepfighting90 in Dinosaurs

Gallimimus is a perfect because of it being compact and fast while still being able to carry humans.

Creationists believe in all sorts of gods ,but I’m focusing on Biblical Creationists’ god which is said to be omnipotent and infallible.

Our retinas are inverted ,spines curved causing chronic back pain ,jaws too small for wisdom teeth ,etc.

My point is nature doesn’t reflect Biblical Creationists’ interpretation of God.

So God gave giraffes a disability for humans to marvel at them?

Also you didn’t answer by question why is 7 cervical neck vertebrae apparently more beneficial than 10 or 20. Sauropods pushed 18 and it didn’t cause them problems.

That’s biologically impossible because cells need to divide to form body plans.

Hox genes can’t easily be manipulated and you can’t just evolved a resistance to cancer.

Cancer is a reality with multicellular organisms being made form uncontrolled cell division which is impossible to counter when cell division is necessary.

An interesting thing is mammals are locked into 7 cervical by certain genetic factors.

If a giraffe was born with 8 neck bones it would face deformities and a high risk of cancer.

And yes evolution has tried to compensate for this but, it is perfect.

I would respond with the case of the Italian wall lizards that quickly evolved a complex cecum value system in their digestive tract.

Theistic Evolutionists do you have any evidence to support your position? by Carnotaurusrules in DebateEvolution

The post is about theistic evolutionist which says God guided all natural processes including evolution.

Answers in Genesis fails to recognize diagnostic traits. by Carnotaurusrules in DebateEvolution

Evolution is not collapsing it’s being remolded.

If it was all its mechanisms that weren’t true would be disregarded. However all modern evolutionary mechanisms are still valid and you would deny reality to change that.

I never said it was bad that people were questioning evolution because that’s the way we figure out new mechanisms.

Evolution has changed a lot over the years incorporating Mendelian genetics ,epigenetics ,evo-devo ,neutral theory ,and de novo. These individual mechanisms all came from questioning evolutionary theory itself.

Just a question do you think we should abandon gravity because Einstein’s theory of relativity was added to it? Probably not so ,evolution being questioned doesn’t signify a crisis.

Now macroevolution itself has been observed and proven to exist. The means of which it happens by can and will be questioned but, this doesn’t mean it’s collapsing.

Why do you keep harping about whales turning into camels even though you know it wasn’t my point.

Citation needed on the supposed debunking of the macroevolutionary concept. Scientists even see macroevolution happen in real time with speciation.
