You don't appear to know what an assumption is.

I'll take your word for it. What's an assumption?

Right. So it's an assumption that giraffes don't come from nowhere. I'll still say that assumption is correct.

It's in the definition that it is assumed true. You can assume all you like. That doesn't make it necessarily correct. For that you need evidence or argument.

Well I have evidence. Just not enough to prove my assumption is one hundred percent, undeniably true.

I thought this thread started out ridiculously. I'm impressed it's been able to devolve so completely.

What percentage of all giraffes that have ever lived have had their birth witnessed? Rough guess will do.

Right, but you wrote "never", which implies certain knowledge and not an assumption. You don't know that some god didn't zap a giraffe into existence. I agree with you that it seems absolutely stupid and contrary to all human experience.

But that doesn't make it knowledge. All science is tentative.

Frequently when you assume,  you make an ASS out of U and ME.

Do you have any plans to present your evidence ?
