I don't understand how woodpeckers evolved but I have seen one.  In fact I have seen quite a lot.

I don't understand how god evolved either. I have not seen a god, nor do I know anyone who has seen a god, nor have I ever read or heard of anyone ever seeing a god.

Therefore whereas I believe in woodpeckers but I don't believe in gods.

This guy is ignorant. Even if how and what the woodpecker evolved from is unknown, it doesn't prove in any way that god exists. It simply means that we don't understand it yet. Dumbass.

@atgblue1 While you do bring up a good point with us "not understanding evolution", it is not entirely accurate. While we don't fully understand evolution, we do understand many factors of it. With god, there is no evidence whatsoever of his existence. The point I'm trying to make is that with evolution, there is factual data that can be studied and researched, while as of now, no one has presented any legitimate evidence that suggests the existence of a omnipotent, all powerful being.

@cjspargo812 I spoke not to flaunt intelligence or to enter a debate on unproven theories, (yes I agree, I cannot prove God exists, likewise no one can prove the big bang theory or such, each point only goes back so far before being stuck with speculation). I just answered in a mirrored way what you said. if we cant explain evolution, that just means we dont understand yet, then I cant explain God, it just means I cant prove it yet. anyways. didn't mean to give an analogy beyond your grasp.

[cjspargo812]

@atgblue1 Ok, I'm going to start off and say that what your saying makes no sense and gives the impression that your quite uneducated (not saying that you are or are not, just what it sounds like). Second, the belief that god does or doesn't exists has little to do with evolution being right or not. Furthermore, there is a lot of evidence supporting the theory of evolution. With this said, there is no evidence real evidence that god exists.

"How and where did that tongue come from?" Simple: nowhere, because it doesn't exist. Woodpecker tongues emerge from the floor of their mouths just like other birds' tongues. The end that wraps around and enters the nostril in some woodpeckers is the back of the tongue (and it ends inside the bill - it doesn't come out into the mouth).

@cjspargo812 So youre ignorant? Because even though I dont know how or when or why God came into existance, doesn't prove in any way that evolution is right. It simply means that we dont understand it yet.
