Birds that Possess Vocal Learning Display More Advanced Intelligence than Monkeys
 "God created every animal from water. Some of them go on their bellies, some of them on two legs, and some on four. God creates whatever He wills. God has power over all things." (Qur'an, 24:45) |
Again, a characteristic that evolutionists assert is unique to primates also found in parrots-which appear in an entirely different branch of the imaginary evolutionary tree-constitutes a major evolutionary impasse. That parrots and certain other birds have such a complex brain capacity invalidates the evolutionists' entire scenario. Therefore, their assertion that a small brain capacity develops into a large one is not applicable, which also invalidates the claim that primates are the ancestors of humans.
Furthermore, nature provides many more examples of "lesser" species exhibiting intelligent behavior. Beavers, for example, build a dam of ideal hydrodynamic size to stem the current; termites can build huge nests with special ventilation channels; and honeybees can build combs based on apparent knowledge of geometry and mathematics. Although they do perform such complex behaviors, all these creatures-especially the insects-have very small brains.
A final example of this miraculous behavior is provided by a crow named Betty, which was studied in the laboratory of Oxford University. Without any guidance, Betty bent a piece of wire she found in the laboratory into a shape that she could use as a tool. When she could not reach food at the bottom of a container with her beak, the crow bent the end of a piece of wire into a hook. With the use of the wire, she was then able to get her food out of the container easily. What amazed the scientists was that Betty understood that something she had seen before only in the mesh of a cage would be useful, thanks to its size and flexibility. She also succeeded in bending the flexible wire in a way that suited her purpose. Wanting to establish whether or not Betty's success was a coincidence, scientists noted that she succeeded nine out of ten times.
Scientists pointed out that despite her small brain, Betty had demonstrated a higher level of intelligence than chimpanzees. The BBC, with its Darwinist prejudices, commented, "Betty is putting our closest cousins to shame."42 In other words, Betty had turned upside down the evolutionists' accepted ideas on the root of intelligence. Alex Kacelnik, a scientist from Oxford who conducted research on Betty, made this comment:
 Without any guidance, a crow named Betty, being studied in the laboratory of Oxford University, bent a thin metal rod into a shape that she could use as a tool. When she couldn't reach food at the bottom of a container with her beak, the crow bent the end of a piece of wire she found in the laboratory into a hook. Betty understood that the wire, an object she had never seen before, would be useful because of its size and flexibility.
