The Idea of an Essay, Volume 2

97 change structurally over time, but this idea means the calf would die during birth. The birthing process of a giraffe directly supports the Creationist’s theory. The giraffe was created with a long neck and was perfectly designed in structure to come out cleanly and survive the treacherous fall. Conclusion The birthing process as well as the fossil record and the essential mechanisms that counteract hypertension are the three specific reasons I believe the Creationists’ theory. The giraffe was created originally with a long neck, long legs, and all the interconnect mechanism and processes showing incredible, intelligent design. The giraffe truly is an amazing creature with uniqueness and beauty recognized by all because of its height. The science behind the giraffe’s structure is overwhelming, complex, and well-designed. Every mechanism inside the giraffe relies on the others in order to keep the towering beast standing. The sound, systematic science behind the design of this magnificent creature makes me love and appreciate them even more.
