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?

Giraffes come into this world a certain way. We know this because we have observed giraffes coming into this world in that certain way. We know they do not pop into existence out of nowhere. We do not need to have observed the birth of every giraffe to know all of this.

You said "it's never happened".

Now we see that this is your assumption. A reasonable one, to be sure.

What's revealing is your refusal to admit that this is your assumption. It speaks to your intellectual integrity, such as it is.

That’s called The Black Swan fallacy. Simply because you’ve never seen a giraffe pop into existence doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.

Proof by assertion is droll and uninteresting. That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. You have presented nothing.

Yeah, it's an assumption, although it is an assumption made by observing reality. The available evidence suggests giraffes don't come from nowhere. So it's an informed assumption.

Well, if God created giraffes, and God exists outside of space and time, then God is nowhere.

Therefore, giraffes come from nowhere.

But that's your fundamental error. 
The birth of a giraffe (on the macro level), is in no way similar to anything on either the "universal" level or the quantum level. 
It's all the fallacy of the false analogy. 
Please go get an education.

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