According to American ID Christians, why would an intelligent designer route the laryngeal nerve over 15 feet?

this may be one of those things only a giraffe, or God, would understand. I don't claim to know the whys and wherefores of every minute detail in this tremendously complex world. Sounds to me like you are nit-picking. If you are using this "mistake" as a reason to believe in evolution rather than God, it's an arrogant gesture. Since you don't know either, you don't have any business taking God to task for it.
