and the whole thing is based around killing and eating one another.

Oh, but you forgot that all the problems are because the first woman ate the wrong fruit. The bible says that is why pregnancy hurts. The rest of those problems? Well creation scientists have determined that sin caused those too even though the bible didn't specify it. They know this because they need it to be the case to keep believing in their mythology.

I thought pregnancy hurts because woman number zero decides to go on top, which in return caused woman number one to eat the fruit.

Checkmate, abrahamlcturds.

The nerve thing bothers me. I wish to learn nothing more of it

And amazingly 7 billion of us still breathing and at least half of us think they can do better 😂

The nerve going down around the heart artery also applies to the giraffe. It does the exact same thing from brain to heart and around that artery the back up to the throat.

I have seen creationists holding bananas and declaring that they are the perfect size for human hands and proof of intelligent design. DUH ... that banana took centuries to design and the fruit company has a patent for designing it.

I loved learning about the laryngeal nerve in giraffes from the video by Richard Dawkins. I think the PBS show Your Inner Fish covered it too.

Edit: I may be wrong about Your Inner Fish referencing the laryngeal nerve, but I'm currently re-watching it anyway.

I remember it being related to gills as well. The nerve just passed by a gill artery, it was all basically neck, but when the body changed the nerve was still looped around the artery which was located near the heart.

Don't forget "the bush that tells theocratic ephebophiles that it's no longer pedophilia"!
