'The last leg of E7's journey is the most extraordinary, entailing a non-stop flight of more than eight days and a distance of 7,200 miles, the equivalent of making a roundtrip flight between New York and San Francisco, and then flying back again to San Francisco without ever touching down.

Since they are land birds, godwits like E7 can't stop to eat or drink while flying over open-ocean. The constant flight speeds at which E7 was tracked by satellite indicate that she did not stop on land.' (my bold)

This, like other migratory journeys, doesn't present any problems for evolutionary theory, as already explained by others.


Welcome to the forum. aiki.

You're going to have a very hard time - because you've brought up some facts. The assembled multitude doesn't like those and prefers the unsupported speculation parading under the name of evolution.

I note that your second post does the same thing. Keep doing this, but watch your back.


ROFLMAO!!!!!!!

Well, I think we now have some inkling of part of your problem. You have a problem understanding the written word.

Here's a clue: Aiki was not agreeing with you, he was refuting you.

And, by your own admission, he was doing so with facts.
