THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.

REGARDS OSCAR.

To buy into that one, you have to be either some kind of grotesque, stellar-stupid or utterly desperate to get out of church. I’m leaning toward the latter. I’ll the first to admit that priests have proven to be child-molesting liars and shameless, greedy thieves but that fact does not disprove the existence of God. People have no excuse for believing their lies en masse ? but that’s another discussion. Back to the point?

There are 12 tones in music (repeated several times to form a piano keyboard or guitar fretboard) and a *trained* musician can usually play no more than 8 (66%) of them (in a diminished scale) at any given time before it, subjectively, sounds bad. I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY BIRD SING OFF-KEY, not even once, EVER! Have you? Birds go on and on and on and it ALWAYS SOUNDS GOOD ? or at least interesting ? but never a sour note!

Are bird songs the result of random note selection? It would have to, according to the preposterous theory that you hold so dear (because it has relieved you of the burden of morality, self-denial and self-control). To say that bird songs were “perfected over millions of years” (blah, blah, blah) and are no longer changing, would imply that “random, natural selection” has CEASED to operate as a force in the lives of birds. Something evolution cannot do BECAUSE IT DOES NOT EXIST! DAMN! Why is it so hard to accept something that is so obvious?!

In accord with that TOTALLY BOGUS THEORY of Evolution, bird songs (along with *every* other aspect of *every* other living thing) should ALWAYS be in flux. This would necessarily require that an appreciable portion of birdsong note selection end up perhaps working for a given species of bird but sounding “off-key” to humans.

Do birds *need* their songs to sound good to members of a species with which they cannot mate? Why? Is on-key note selection a fixed default? How? How could *any* bird possibly arrange it, much less *all* of them? Granted, the parrot and a very few other birds can mimic sounds, but such birds are comparatively few and even so, the ability to make any kind of sound has got to have little (if any) value as a survival skill to an animal whose primary survival mechanism would have to be winged flight.

Now I know you’ve been trained to twist ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING into survival terms and therefore it’s incumbent upon you to make something up. You may even be able to cite one flawed example which I’ll pick apart later, but I just thought I ‘d put it out there to see what you’ll say. Ok faithful followers of the Church of Evolution, get to work? and remember, ridicule is not evidence!
