Rushmore is such a good example since we never see human faces occurring by chance in nature....

Did my Rushmore happen by chance?

Little known unconfirmed factoid
All the presidents names were dropped into a hat and the first four they pulled out were chiseled into a mountain.

I know what you're thinking. That's hard to believe, but in my defense, I was told you were a theist, so I figured you'd believe anything.

This just in, protein not of non-terrestrial origin found in meteorite.

https://futurism.com/the-byte/scientists...cEQ-2bXQAQ


Quote:After analyzing samples from the meteorite Acfer 086, a team of researchers from Harvard University and the biotech companies PLEX Corporation and Bruker Scientific found that the protein’s building blocks differed chemically from terrestrial protein. As they write in their research, which they shared on ArXiv on Saturday, “this is the first report of a protein from any extra-terrestrial source"

God was practicing on random rocks for a few billion years.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Wrong, I’ve said  several times now I am aware your evolution theory takes a good long time so you can’t pin that falsehood on me. No sir.
What I am saying is that there was quite a stage set up, LUCKILY, that allowed a giraffe to survive having a long neck.
