Two different theories exist concerning the origin of children: the theory of sexual reproduction and the theory of the stork. Many people believe in the theory of sexual reproduction because they have been taught this theory at school. In reality, however, many of the world's leading scientists are in favour of the theory of the stork. If the theory of sexual reproduction is taught in schools, it must only be taught as a theory and not as the truth. Alternative theories, such as the theory of the stork, must also be taught. Evidence supporting the theory of the stork include the following:

1.It is a scientifically established fact that the stork does exist. This can be confirmed by every ornithologist.

2.The alleged human fetal development contains several features that the theory of sexual reproduction is unable to explain.

3.The theory of sexual reproduction implies that a child is approximately nine months old at birth. This is an absurd claim, since everyone knows that a newborn child is newborn.

4.According to the theory of sexual reproduction, children are a result of sexual intercourse. There are, however, many well-documented cases where sexual intercourse has not led to the birth of a child.

5.Statistical studies in the Netherlands have indicated a positive correlation between the birth rate and the number of storks. Both are declining.

6.The theory of the stork can be investigated by rigorous scientific methods. The only assumption involved is that children are delivered by the stork.

Each of the six absurd points made above represents a separate, and similarly faulty, tactic used by creationists (aka "Intelligent Design" proponents) to attack the theory of evolution.
