Canids like foxes only have sweat glands on their feet anyway. Someone said that this inefficient cooling system could be considered an argument against the existence of god.
It’s nonsense, canids sweat all over their bodies.
And a better argument against creationism’s “optimal design” would be putting the sound sensors on a bone structure that resonates during sound generation.
Direct feedback even at lowest volume, you mean? Personally I’d go for the way the light-sensing cells in vertebrate eyes are actually aimed away from the lens.
Arguments against direct optimal design, perhaps; not against God as Creator with evolution as a tool.
I personally don’t believe in an ultrapowerful deity, but I don’t think the fact that evolution is an imperfect process is really an argument against it. I prefer the one that a god that wants everyone to worship it would go to basic lengths to make sure that everyone knew it was real and what it wanted.
If you ever want to shut up a super-literalist Christian, quote Mark 16:18 and then offer to convert if they can drink ricin with no adverse effects. Either they have to leave you alone until they think of a comeback or, if they are really stupid, they have to leave everyone alone permanently.
P-E-R-S-P-I-C-A-C-I-T-Y!
She has it.
Wha…? I don’t see her sweating
No, you’re thinking of P-E-R-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N.

She can show off her perspicacity even is Ozy is showing off his.
That joke didn’t age well…
