Ahriman, what's your evidence that giraffes can't pop into existence; not that they don't, but can't.
It's never happened. So I don't think it can.
Side note.....do people in real life ever say you are very emotional?
I'm not very emotional. How do you know it hasn't happened? Have you observed the birth of every giraffe?

Oh, ahris a troll who doesn't believe anything ahri says who lies because nothing matters - as ahri has explained - but Barry may be genuinely afflicted and not realize that this whole "things don't just happen" bit is really disadvantageous to beliefs in creator gods.

A giraffe being born is not just "popping into existence"

I think she's asking you if you can confirm by personal observation that every single giraffe was in fact born, Einstein.

More to the point, a giraffe being born is not in any sense a creative miracle. It's what happens when mommies and daddies do a special kiss. This impossible thing that, apparently, god believers think we should account for is only believed in by them.

No, but unless you've observed how every giraffe came into existence, then what are you basing your claim that it hasn't happened on?

Many people have believed in God and formulated their own ideas and theories. Child sacrifice and temple prostitution was rife in ancient times.
Jesus Christ came to help us work it all out. He might have some ideas that you can learn from.
God bless
Actually Jesus said not a jot or tittle would be changed until all things were accomplished.
He said nothing about dying for sin. If he existed, the temple sacrifice system was still in effect.
When the young man in Matthew asked what he had to do to get to heaven.
"Keep" the commandments":. That's it. Not "follow my new religion".
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell

A giraffe being born is not just "popping into existence"
A son born of a virgin is indeed a case of "popping into existence" (certainly the presence of his Y chromosomes bear explaining) but only atheists have to explain similar such things. Believers have their gospels and that's that.
