To answer the question in the subject line... ..Because the Good Lord fucked up when He made these ones [link to www.fossil-treasures-of-florida.com] and nature had to take over - you know, survival of the fittest and all that? The modern type elephants didn't die of dehydration because as you can see the process of 1.6 million years of evolution between the original God-made Gomphotheres and the modern nature-evolved African elephant has included smaller mouth parts and a longer trunk among other things. As the mouth parts evolved smaller, the trunks evolved longer, hence the ancestral elephant species which came after the Gomphotheres was still able to drink and eat grass and to shit - 3 basic individual survival requirements for any elephant-like critter. You've got sour grapes because God's first attempt at the elephant wasn't resilient enough to survive unchanged into the modern era. Or was it? The above is a theory borne out of various pieces of evidence including the fossil record and observation of modern elephant behaviors. It might not be perfect but it's a hundred percent more reliable than a series of old books which have been mistranslated over the last couple of thousand years and then twisted to suit the purposes of whichever power-hungry "Man of God" was in power at any given time. You remind me of the Taliban - primitive fuckers who live in a small, small world. Fundamentalist religions may differ in their beliefs, but the WAY they believe is always the same. What if - as I have aluded to above - Intelligent Design and Evolution are BOTH right? What if, God's design for an ancestral elephant species was so flawless and perfect that he built genetic adaptation right into them? That way, as the climate changed and food became more abundant or scarce as the case may have been, the elephant family of critters was able to genetically improvise, adapt and overcome and thus avoid extinction? Of course the theory of Intelligently Designed Evolution won't work if you're one of those defective whackjobs on the fringes as a godless heathen or if you're a fundamentalist fuckstick who thinks the world is only 8,000 years old. In these cases, nothing anyone can say and no evidence anyone can show will be accepted. Luckily though, such fanatics, while vocal, have zero power over anyone but their poor emotionally abused families and that's how it should be. |
