Creationists, please go read.

Evolution, it's not a god, it's truth, something theism doesn't aspire to realize.

I love the headline "Elephants use Mental Maps to keep track of family members."

Then, if you actually listen to the video, "Elephants use urine to keep track of family members."

Mentalism triumphant, even in animals. The researchers know no such thing as the first assertion, and even if they did MRIs I'd be skeptical. Something is going on up there, but whether it corresponds to what we call a "map," they don't have the slightest clue.

Elephants are pretty smart, I wouldn't be surprised to see more revealing and interesting facts about them and their behaviors in the near future
