I think RR has a very childish utopia view of herbivores. They are cute so they never attack.
I once was walking through a horse ranch, with sectioned fields that had nothing but rope for fence. I spotted a foal, and went up to the rope and started talking to it cute. Out of nowhere I here this very loud WHINNNEY, looked past the foal off in the distance and the mother was saying, "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY KID"
Now ask me if I stuck around? Pretty is a myth with life. Sure it is nice too look at, but nice to look at does not equate to always placid or always safe. Just because it does not eat meat does not mean it's friendly

No shit, the fact that humans live on a planet with microscopic viruses and bacteria that not only outnumber them, but can kill the healthiest human some merely by breathing or touching it, says to me, that there is no damned god guiding shit. Pandas are cute too, but I would not go up to one in the wild and try to pet them. Bacteria and viruses cannot be seen with the naked eye and kill far more humans than hippos or lions.
Volcanos are amazing to look at too, but from a distance.

Cut the crap.
"God did it" that is your ultimate argument.
When life is pretty you fall for your emotions. When life is ugly, you chalk it up to "mystery", or we are his to do as he pleases. BOTH incoherent nonsense.
The giraffe was not "designed" anymore than cancer or ecoli or cockroaches, and it's long nerve from ear to ear was mere evolution, not magic, not a sky wizard.
With those types of arguments I can see why you stick with the straw man in your head!
Good day.

Yea lady, it is amazing that they have a superfluously long nerve that goes from one ear, all the way down the neck then back up to the other ear. So much for a straight line being the shortest distance between two points. Isn't it great that bacteria and cockroaches outnumber humans and are far faster breeders?
Giraffes are pretty to look at sure, but no damned God had a thing to do with it. I am quite sure if you got too close to a male in the wild during musk it would stomp your ass to death.
The shortest distance from A to B.
Yeah, like why create an arm when you can dump your mouth straight onto the plate of food.
The length of the nerves in the giraffe, serve as relational sensors between the head and the whole body. They don't just translate hearing, just like any part of the body has multipurposes.

All you have in the end is "God did it", so I really don't care how you want to slice your bologna sandwich.
"Good day", really dude? Should I expect a slap in the face with a white glove and duel with musket pistols at 12 paces?

Not because of a magic sky wizard. You really want me to believe some bearded man did that on purpose? Is that the measure of success? Why is it you don't think of cockroaches in the same way? The nerves serve multi purposes? Fine, then explain why cockroaches are far better breeders, if everything has a "purpose"?
Funny how humans can choke and die on food because we share the same eating breathing tube, whereas dolphins and whales don't have the same problem.
Nonsense. Life is not a product out of a factory made by a cosmic Willy Wonka with super powers.

I agree, willy wonka or sky wizards are mainly fictional.
The only reason a human is likely to choke on their food is if they try to eat like an animal. I hope you can't relate to that.

Hate to burst your bubble, but we ARE animals.
You don't stupidly think because we have evolved brains with DIFFERENT attributes that using knives and forks makes us more important?

Yup

Their are advantages usings hands to eat food rather then the method described

That does not answer the challenge
Quote:I agree, willy wonka or sky wizards are mainly fictional.
Just like your god by by reasonable means

Humans choke for number of reasons . And animals are in fact very cautious about eating.

You should write a book on it, unless you are really an animal.
