Yeah according to the evolutionist lunatics, woodpeckers were regular birds who began to kill themselves over time beating their beaks into the trunks of trees and smashing their beaks, heads, and brains in until they developed the ability to peck the trunks with no harm to themselves............

A number of birds feed on insects under tree bark, especially that of dead and rotting trees. No suicidal headbanging needed.
Woodpeckers are uniquely adapted to their niche, but their feeding technique is simply a refinement of techniques other birds--such as their distant ancestors--already used.
Obvious straw bird is obvious?
Seriously, how small a fictitious gap can their sky-daddy survive in? Apparently, he can be found in bird-brains.... :)
Digging bugs out of bark or a hole in something is a practice of most birds. That one, several species actually, developed a hammering technique to open the holes up is hardly surprising. I've seen other birds use their beaks like pick-axes in softer bark, this is what evolution is predicted to do, if it's advantages it will pass these traits on.
No God needed

Too true, but this applies to you LoserX, not evolution.
According to the creationist lunatics, dirt was regular dirt until a magic man poofed it into people.
Or... the birds with long beaks realized they could peck holes in trees.
Ah, what do you care anyway? You think the earth is only 6,000 years old and Jesus is coming to make you fly up to heaven any minute now.
We should obviously reject evil-utionism in favor of the plainly superior creation account, according to which God intelligently designed woodpeckers to eat grubs, except that all animals were vegetarian before Adam and Eve ate that fruit.

That's not even fucking wrong. In fact, wrong would be an astronomical improvement over ... this , whatever it is.

You should be quiet now and stop trying to sound like you know something.
Most insect-eating birds peck things to find their food, and many insects hide their larvae under bark to keep them from being food. The better a bird was at pecking its way into bark, the better it ate. The deeper an insect hid its eggs, the less it got eaten. Biologists call it the "Red Queen" effect - an arms race between predator and prey. What's so unbelievable about that?
Yeah, according to Rapture Retards, woodpeckers were magically created as-is by an all-knowing, all-seeing, omnipresent super-being so that when Walter Lantz was born 6,000 odd years later, he would have a subject for his idiotic cartoons. God has a very rudimentary sense of humor and he loves that violent stuff. Just read the OT if you don't believe me.
Gee, that's much easier to swallow. Swallow? that's a whole 'nother bird, and now I better duck before someone wings me with a bat* for this flock of puns. I'd keep going, but I'm too chicken.
* It's a bird according to the Bible!
Lion, speaking of being too chicken, I once had a Rhode Island Red rooster named Roger, who regularly hammered his way into palmetto trunks to get palm weevils. By the way, do I know you?

What, I wonder, is the solution to the problem of a skewed world where strange godless beings indulge in unholy things like humanism and realism? The sort of frightening world where many people wish to promote tolerance, and compassion? A bleak world where education is highly valued and people wish for a happy future for their children? A horrendous world free of persecution and war? A hideous world with no ignorance and no superstition?
The answer, I feel, will be revealed... er...soon, and somehow will involve flight (without actual wings?) and something to do with mansions? If you know any trumpeters, ask them, they may know. I've heard they will play a part somehow, probably some sort of magic fanfare?
No, that would indeed be lunacy. Woodpeckers pecked for worms inside hardwood tree-trunks. The ones with harder skulls could reach further into the trunks and got more food for their young, who often had harder skulls too. The problem was, as it ever is, to find enough food to sustain yourself and your offspring.
Woodpecker donts works that way!!
On a side note, they sometimes also hammer thin metal platings found on telephone poles, and other noisy stuff like that.It's their way of proclaiming their territory.
... Yeah. Because that's what happened. The birds bashed their little brains in.
Do thee people view all of reality in such cartoonish ways? I honestly wonder... Do they think cats catch mice by chasing them with frying pans and smashing those meeces to pieces?

Now let's talk about the thousands of different brands of Christian, or even Abrhamic God's followers that exist, and the different tensions, conflict, and geopolitic issues caused or endorsed by them.
Or you could just shut ya trap.
If they killed themselves, they would die out. Natural selection.
Natural selection is also why flightless birds like ostriches and emus specialize in running since they can't fly away.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
