Abstract
This article argues against evolution by focusing on the woodpecker's tongue, which originates in the right nostril, wraps around the skull, and then extends far beyond the beak. Sunderland highlights this "miraculous design feature," contrasting its complexity with Darwin's perceived omission of its explanation in The Origin of Species. The author emphasizes other woodpecker adaptations—a strong beak, skull, and neck muscles; sticky tongue; and specialized toes—as further evidence supporting his creationist viewpoint. He concludes by citing unnamed scientists who allegedly agree that such intricate features defy evolutionary explanation, thus bolstering his argument for divine creation.
