It is a cranial nerve that innervates the throat and surrounding structures. Starting at the head, it goes down into the chest, around the aorta (for no apparent reason), and then up to the throat when it could simply go directly to the throat.
It is even better in the giraffe: it *still* goes from the head all the way down to the chest, loops around the aorta and then back to the top of the neck to innervate the throat structures.
Any engineer that designed a communication pathway like that should be summarily shot.
The comeback is that God is not an engineer, and that He designed Nature in such a way as a way of allowing unbelievers to conclude that it was not designed lest the Elect be deceived, too much evidence for God's existence is bad for you, blah, blah, blah...
If god wants us to believe he doesn’t exist, who are we to thwart him?
