They have a sponge like material that covers their brain that absorbs blood. And when they stand up they don't pass out because there is another mechanism that allows the blood to drain back down very quickly that allow them to run from a predator if needed. Sorry but Evolution is not that perfect!

Ahh, but you would be surprised. It's not like these mechanisms developed overnight. This is thousands of years of progress. Giraffes probably got longer necks. Then, the heart developed to accommodate the neck. The mechanism you described to prevent the head from filling with blood isn't a spongelike material, but actually something called rete mirabile. It's a complex system of arteries and veins that are in close proximity to each other. They balance the pressure of blood in the brain using counter current exchange. This probably developed after the heart. Giraffes don't faint when they lift their heads because muscles surrounding the veins and capillaries tighten, slowing the blood flow.
It's all very complicated. And it first glance, it doesn't seem plausible. Of course, one could argue that an omnipotent being who just decided to create the world in seven days isn't very plausible either.
Also, there are plenty of examples of evolution not being perfect. Let's take a look at ourselves, specifically, our mouth. A majority of us require dental procedure sometime in our life. This is because our teeth and jaws have not evolved perfectly. They work well enough, and that's all it takes to survive and pass on your genes, but they aren't perfect.

If a person doesn't believe in religion that is their business but that is why a lot of kids today are little turds. They believe they can do what they want and not answer for it. Some people think it is better to do what they want and not believe in religion because they don't want to feel bad for what they do. If not having In God We Trust on there isn't a big deal then why remove it or stop engraving it? It is a big deal to some and also to me because what next? If I seen someone burning the flag folks I would probably go to jail. I understand freedom of speech but if you don't like America get out. They may not like tax dollars going toward engraving those words but you not what I don't like paying for people on welfare that can work but I have to. Maybe I should file a law suit against the government for that. OMG I have to go into another thread and cool off, I am really sorry if I offended anyone because that was not my intention. I respect everyone on here I just don't understand with everything the way it is today violence, drugs, more kids being killed then I have every seen that a group of people have the time to file a lawsuit because they feel their rights are being violated because of In "God We Trust".

Woah woah woah, slow down there dude! You've made WAY too many assumptions. You assume that every kid who doesn't want to be responsible is so because they aren't religious. You assume that people don't believe in a God because they don't want to be held accountable. And you assume that everyone on welfare is just lazy and doesn't want to work.
First off, kids just don't WANT to be responsible. There kids, religious or not! Second, I don't know any atheist who became one simply because they didn't want to be binded by religion (all though that may be a factor). Third, it's just plain wrong to think that everyone on welfare is just lazy. And I REALLY took offense when you made a connection between atheists, and flag burners. Seriously?
It's not a "big deal" to me that In God We Trust is written on currency. However, I would prefer that it wasn't. I don't believe in God, so I certainly don't trust him, so why should the money I spend have his name on it, right? The United States is a nation of diversity and freedom. Freedom of religion is one of those freedoms. I think it would be best if we didn't have connections to any religion on our national currency.
