If humanity is the pinnacle of all of God’s creations, it casts
serious doubt on the concept of a perfect, infallible God.


Octopuses, anyone that can come up with octopuses gets my vote for
Supreme Being. Anyone that came up with spoonbills needs serious
help, and jellyfish inventors can suffer the nth circle of Tommie's
Fantasies.

Well, I read that spoon billed birds exist on every continent,
except for Antarctica so they must be considered as at least
marginally efficient :-)

Have you seen the courtship ritual?! You get a stick, wander up to the
nearest female, and give it a bit of;

"Oeer Missus! Nice stick see! Fancy a bit of how's your father?"

Well, as I said, Spoonbills are found on every continent except for
Antarctica so whatever their romantic activities are it apparently is
working.

It's a miracle they aren't extinct!

As the saying goes "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and
apparently a stick is a beautiful thing... to a spoonbill.

I don't know where you are posting from but remember you are a member
of the species that in some countries condone a male marrying a
male.... obviously a plan that is somewhat less effective in
prolonging the species than the spoonbill's stick.
