Feat said to “defy evolution.” In what sense? Is “evolution” something that makes a law that says that apes can’t swim? As long as he paddles diligently and keeps his head above water …
See how insidiously the word “evolution” gets used to mean everything, anything, and nothing? For example,
In a report this week in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology, researchers offer an evolutionary explanation: When an early ancestor of modern apes took to the trees, they say, innate swimming ability likely lost its advantage, and the trait disappeared. The fact that our muscles and brains adapted to graceful swinging movements in the air and upright walking on the ground might account for the lengthwise reaching and pulling movements that define Cooper and Suryia’s aquatic style.
Take the“evolutionary” concept out of the above statements and they are a mess of impressive- sounding words that mean only: Apes don’t usually swim but they can.
“Apes CAN swim”,,
yes but can he throw a 100 mph fastball?
Despite their claim that ‘evolution did it’, when one looks under the hood at the muscles themselves to see what this ‘elastic energy’ is all about, one is immediately struck with brilliant design, not with happenstance evolution:
as to the rampant misuse of the word and concept of ‘evolution’ in the articles by Darwinists:
At the 7:00 minute mark of this following video, Dr. Behe gives an example of how positive evidence is falsely attributed to evolution by using the word ‘evolution’ as a sort of coda in peer-reviewed literature:

Verse and Music:
Speaking of swimming, I recently figured out why there are no fossils of rodents becoming bats. They were probably aquatic using the webs between their toes to swim with. Aquatic animals usually get eaten before becoming fossils and the bones dissolve. The webs got larger and larger because the ones who swam better survived more. One day one was sunning himself on a branch when a fish who was growing feet climbed up on the branch to make a meal of him. He jumped off and found he could fly and that is how the first bat was formed.
