The Vagus nerve in the Giraffe

[Assyrian]

Hey, welcome to YEC, Assyrian.

It's all flooding back now.

Did you know Japanese fishermen once caught a plesiosaur?

Mmmm sushi.

Ok, but seriously, why do you think a long neck is poorly suited for underwater living?

If the plesiosaur was a slow moving animal, I guess there would be no problem. However, people drew it like that it can swim swiftly in deep water and catch fish like a dolphin. I would say plesiosaur would snap its neck before it can catch anything.

I say long necks would have been awesome. Imagine how plesiosaur soup would've tasted like, mm mm.

I think you might have overlooked a major flaw in your argument...

Your argument assumes that you are right, rather than proves that you are right. It's circular. The nerve couldn't be created that way because it evolved that way? The only reason it would be routed in that specific form is because it evolved? Creation, or evolution, should not comprise evidence it should be the result.

I see a giraffe and I know it came from somewhere. I know that the Bible says that God created all those goofy creatures. I think I know where that giraffe came from.

Sometimes people create inaccurate illustrations. There are numerous illustrations of velociraptors without feathers and t-rex using its tail in a tripod manner. From the (very) little research I've done, you're correct in your assumption that the pleisiosaur was a slow swimmer.
