A woodpecker is a bird that pounds its beak into a tree's surface to find food.[1] There are 21 species of woodpeckers in the United States. [2]
Evidence against Evolution
The skull of the woodpecker is uniquely suited to absorb the intense shocks generated by its feeding habits[3]. If the skull was weaker at some point in the past, the bird would not have been able to feed in such a manner. But if the bird didn't feed in such a manner, then what would have been the reason for it to evolve a thicker skull? Evolutionists have not been able to produce an answer to this question.
