Elephant brains weigh about 11 pounds, some 3 times bigger than that of humans --
Well, I would say that Elephants are a little bigger than humans too, has he ever hear of a ratio?

Would an adult savage, who'd never seen a knife, guess how to use it for fight
Umm, I'd say yes. It's not like the elephant picked up a rifle, loaded it, aimed and fired!

Quote:
how few muscles other species have in their upper lip and nose, and how weak these muscles are. No other existing mammals genera, families, and orders show a similarly fast evolution of an organ.
Well, Girraffs have really long necks, Blue Whales are enormous, Orangatans have extremely strong muscles... what is der moron talking about?

What can these facts, the impossibility of developing such a trunk in an evolutional way, and the elephants' intellect, mean?... It means that elephants and mammoths were genetically engineered by intelligent beings when they first appeared some 5 million years ago.
He gets all that from two facts? And what makes it so evolutionarily impossible for elephants to evolve trunks agian? And I forogt, what was his proof of their overwhelming intelligence? Wow, this may be a worse argument than that anti-Galileo one from the other thread!
