Of course, it proves creation, but so do thousands of other examples. Complex systems cannot arise by chance events.

...claims humans evolved from apes.

Stopped reading right there. That has never been claimed and interjecting a known falsehood into one's claims immediately labels the rest of this screed as irrelevant.

Meanwhile, marijuana packed bird brains point to Socialism at Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton rallies.

My daughter has macaw like that. They are very smart. But as Rush Limbaugh once said, he’s waiting for the smart animals to build animal condos, animal colleges, animal superhighways and animal computers.

I have two blue and golds. They are pretty smart. The African Grey and Panama yellow head are much, much more vocal. My male Blue and Gold knows one word. My Panama Yellow head I gave away because he wouldn’t shut up.

My 7 year old Doberman gets so frustrated trying to talk it is almost comic. He tries desperately to talk and we know what he is trying to say but the poor boy just doesn’t have the anatomical apparatus. He sits and watches my wife talk intently such that it seems he is trying to learn how to do it.

I think we have to be careful we don’t equate vocalizations with intelligence. I have no doubt the Doberman is smarter than the macaws. They sit in a cage while the dog has the run of the house and yard. Something to ponder.

Brain theory is conjecture. Dolphins should be as intelligent as humans according to the degreed “experts” theories. Yet they’ve never posted signs that say “Please don’t kill us.”

If bird brains are twice as effective as ours, and if dogs can make their own vitamin C but humans can’t, and if there actually is a Creator, it doesn’t look like he was particularly fond of humans.

I’m still blown away whenever I see videos of crows solving puzzles better and faster than apes, using tools and everything.

What purpose does it serve for birds to be smarter than apes? They already have physical advantages that would keep them in a safe evolutionary niche like flying, beaks, and claws. There’s absolutely no need for them to develop such intelligence.

Evolutionary adaptability. Larger brains mean more weight. More weight means birds could not fly. So, more neurons without additional weight. Not so surprising.

...the evolutionary paradigm that claims humans evolved from apes.

Is that the current paradigm of evolutionists? The way I understand it, current thinking is that both apes (which still exist)and Homo Sapiens evolved from a common ancestor who was neither ape nor man.

To those who still do not understand the position...

The currently accepted “Theory of Evolution” states the position that Humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor.

Note that it is still a theory, not a statement of proven fact. It has never attempted to claim that humans evolved from apes, and those who claim otherwise are pushing a false narrative.

Cheers.

A lot of people who were god fearing really tried to keep the people believing that there was a flat earth just a few hundred years ago. A lot of God fearing people believed the sun and all the stars rotated around the earth. Of course the scientists were hammered by these people. I think that has almost past even though I do know a few people who try and tell me the earth is still flat in order that they can hold on to their bible beliefs. I hope at some point the same will happen with these people who pan the scientific theories of evolution.

Bird must be smarter than us, they can fly, we can not.
