Dawkins ranged through his latest book, The Greatest Show on Earth, citing the special place of Australia's marsupials among the compelling evidence for evolution through natural selection over creationism.
Lovely. And when he speaks in Wellington on Wednesday, he can equally cite the special place of New Zealand's flightless birds among the compelling evidence for evolution through natural selection over creationism.

Can we seriously believe that the kiwi, the moa, the kakapo, the takahe, the pukeko and the weka walked from Mt Ararat (beside the kangaroo, the koala, the emu, the platypus, the echidna, the wombat and the bandicoot, before saying a fond farewell at Sydney Harbour), leaving no trace on the way?
