鳄鸭

鳄鸭是一种由创造论者智慧地设计出的假想动物。他们意图以此说明两件事：
#进化论者实际相信的东西
#进化不能解释(所谓的)"缺失环节"
鳄鸭的创造者柯克·卡梅隆和雷·康福特认为（有意使之怪异）的鳄鸭代表了进化论实际教授的内容.《你能将无神论者引向证据，却无法使他思考：对愤怒的怀疑论者提出的问题的回答》, p. 30.
嘲笑这个滑稽的杂交种背后的目的是让不相信创造论的人看出去很蠢，但这个计划完全走向了自己的反面。毫不意外的是，单单是“鳄鸭”这样不成熟的概念就成功地传达了截然相反的信息，而鳄鸭在相信事实的社群中快速入典。
在此怀揣敬意地提几个例子：保罗·扎卡里·迈尔斯拥有一条鳄鸭领带（他会在创造论博物馆滑稽地戴上），参见 WikiMedia.无神论油管视频主“鳄鸭王”将这个创造论者不朽的取为笔名以示敬意。https://www.youtube.com/user/kingcrocoduck每年10月28日，探洞者54也会将金鳄鸭这一奖项颁给一位幸运的创造论者;https://www.facebook.com/GoldenCrocoduckAward/
==新梗诞生==
thumb|left|"♫ 当当当当！ ♫"
鳄鸭的不存在是在2007年的一场关于上帝是否存在的辩论中（在位于曼哈顿的举办）——部分在播出——由柯克·卡梅隆和雷·康福特首次揭示的。在此这个二人组解释了自己明智的计划：
好好思考思考他们承认的鳄鸭的目的是"准确地展示进化论者相信的东西"。难怪鳄鸭已经很大程度上象征了进化论否认者往往连进化论的原理都不理解。
尽管只要向观众展示他们自己发明的鳄鸭就已经足够蠢证明自己的观点，柯克和雷认为还可以再额外展示两个他们自己的创造品——分别是“羊犬”和“牛蛙”。
当想到"和"已经被用来命名动物而即使雷和柯克也应该略有知晓，这个活力二人组的创意缺失就变得更为明显。
== 为什么是狗屎 ==
用不着说，创造论者对过渡形态类似于“随便两个物种的嵌合体”的猜想连错误也算不上。这源自他们对进化如何运作有意的忽略。鳄鸭本身就是过度简化对方观点的[稻草人谬误]]的绝佳实例——在这里指的是对化石记录的性质的科学观点。
鳄鱼和鸭直到2.45亿年前才有共同祖先；他们最近的化石共祖，比起鸭子更像鳄鱼，但不论是鳄鱼还是鸭，与他们的共祖——基部的——相比，都混有许多原始和先进的特征。
仅仅为辩论起见，一个传闻中的鳄鸭（或相似的嵌合体）实际上也会成为惊人的发现。创造论者声称鳄鸭那样的嵌合体是进化论所依赖的。就算这样一个嵌合体的化石被发掘出土，它实际上也只会充当不利于现代生物学家理解的进化的证据。
因此，鳄鸭论证显示出创造论者未能理解进化论提出的最基本的论断，因此，简直都没有意识到他们不了解他们正在谈论的话题.
=="真正的鳄鸭"==
因为趋同进化，多种化石种可以被认为是“鳄鸭”：
*和这些动物有羽毛，根据任何对这个术语的合理定义，这多少能让它们成为“鳄鸭”。因为驰龙科动物是鸟类的近亲http://digitallibrary.amnh.org/dspace/handle/2246/2870，而且因为与鳄鱼的共祖是主龙类动物，它与鳄鱼夜市远亲……啊，不过，你知道，创造论者又不懂分类学到底是怎么回事。
*在2009年，拥有鸭嘴的短吻鳄的化石得以发现。这个属被命名为（字面意思是“鸭鳄鱼”）。https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232680824_A_new_Notosuchian_from_the_Early_Cretaceous_of_Niger不过将其称作“鸭鳄”会更为准确，因为这类生物和原有理论的鸭鳄位置是相反的；我们正在焦急等待创造论者接下来会如何为此号哭。
*伪齿鸟科（）是有着表面上类似于鳄鱼的牙和喙的一类海鸟。
*是一类有长下颌的适应水声环境的恐龙，被一位古生物学家形容为“一类嵌合体——半是鸭子，半是鳄鱼”。最大的掠食性恐龙“半是鸭子，半是鳄鱼”, The Verge
*是一种与现代鸭嘴兽有关的单孔目动物。像它们一样，（事实证明，它并不像许多濒危的单孔目动物没有有喙的证据），它也有喙，尽管长满了牙齿。它前往远洋觅食，使得它比起在海水底层觅食的现代鸭嘴兽更像鳄鱼和水獭。https://australian.museum/learn/australia-over-time/extinct-animals/obdurodon-dicksoni/

龙

龙是类似大型爬行动物、蛇、或鳄鱼的神话动物，但有时也带有以上之外的身体部位；龙可以飞翔，吐火。证明龙的存在的证据从未被找到，只在 神话中和某些神秘动物学学家的脑海里存在，但是有些人相信它们存在。有一个次文化，其中人们认为自己是或曾经是龙，或者把自己识别为龙，与獸迷者相近。此类次文化与中国或威尔士文化把龙作为图腾或标志有根本性的不同：他们认为自己真的物质上或精神上是龙。
世界上到处都有有关龙的神话故事，所以有些人构思出了各种有关的无科学依据的理论。有些动物被命名为龙，比如说蜻蜓（英语“dragonfly”）和科莫多巨蜥（英语“Komodo dragon”）。 
有些“年轻地球”创世论者称，龙在各地的神话中的广泛存在证明人类与恐龙曾经同时存在。WND.com Les créationnistes croient qu'un scarabée cracheur est la preuve de l'existence des dragons 问题是，用同样的思维也可以“证明”精灵和怪物的存在。龙在各地神话中的存在有更理智的解释方法：类似龙（比如蛇，鳄鱼）等动物有可能是龙传说的根基。 历史学家解释说，人们可能受他们发现的恐龙化石所影响，创造了龙的传说。
在河南省，有些村民会把恐龙化石磨成粉，用来做中药. 这种习俗几十年以来就在中国存在，别的地区也有它的痕迹。所以，问为什么许多中国人相信有龙时，中国最顶尖的“寻龙猎手”之一回答：那美国人为什么不信进化论？ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/07/070713-china-dinos.html

Artemas Ward (E Pluribus Unum)

Artemas Ward (November 26, 1727 – October 28, 1800) was an American soldier, politician, and Founding Father who served as the 1st President of the United States (E Pluribus Unum) from 1789 to 1797. Previously, he commanded soldiers in the War of Independence and held the post of from 1776 to 1783.

China (China's Song)

China, officially the Republic of China, is a country in .
Following the and a subsequent civil war, China began rapidly modernizing under the presidency of Sun Yat-sen. Chiang Kai-shek would rise to power shortly after his death. Chiang cracked down on during the Red Purge. Roughly 80,000 people were killed and China was transformed into a under a . Japan declared war on China following the Yalu Bridge Incident, ending in a Chinese victory by 1942. Despite being neutral during World War II, China favored due to the latter's help with modernizing the National Revolutionary Army. China would emerge as a during the Cold War and would be seen as the head of the "Eastern Bloc." 
China is a .
Chinese Civil War (China's Song)

The Chinese Civil War, also referred to as the Second Revolution, was an armed conflict lasting from 1914 to 1919 between the southern-based Nationalists and the northern-based Beiyang government.
The roots of the civil war were planted after President Yuan Shikai stormed the National Assembly in August 1913 and dissolved the Song Jiaoren's government. Less than three days later, President Yuan was shot three times by gunman Huang Fu. Li Yuanhong, Yuan's Vice President, assumed the presidency and announced new elections would be called for both the National Assembly and the presidency. President Li's pro-democracy stance angered the Beiyang Army, leading to General Duan Qirui seizing power in September. China's southern provinces decried Duan's coup and former President Sun Yat-sen began to raise armies in case of a war against Beijing. Divisions in the Beiyang Army became apparent as Duan embraced cronyism and alienated his potential rivals. These generals, namely Feng Guozhang and Cai E, broke their ties with Beijing in January and negotiated an alliance with Sun Yat-sen. As Duan realized his power was getting contested, he declared martial law in February and ordered his army to secure all of China.
Sun Yat-sen, similarly to the , declared a new government in with the backing of all of southern China.
Colin Powell (President Powell)

Colin Luther Powell (born April 5, 1937) is an American politician and retired four-star general who served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009. A member of the , Powell was the first president in history. He had previously served as the 16th from 1987 to 1989 and as the 12th from 1989 to 1993. 
Powell was born in in 1937 and was raised in the . His parents, Luther and Maud Powell, immigrated to the United States from . Powell was educated in the New York City public schools, graduating from the (CCNY), where he earned a bachelor's degree in geology. He also participated in at CCNY and received a commission as an Army second lieutenant upon graduation in June 1958. Powell was a professional soldier for 35 years, during which time he held many command and staff positions and rose to the rank of four-star general. He was Commander of the in 1989. His last assignment, from October 1989 to September 1993, was as the 12th , the highest military position in the . During this time, he oversaw 28 crises, including the invasion of Panama in 1989 and in the against Iraq in 1990–1991.

Communist Party of the Soviet Union (New Union)

The Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) is a major political party of the Soviet Union. Established by in 1917, it was the sole governing party until 1990 when the Congress of People's Deputies modified Article 6 of the Constitution, ending the Communist Party's monopoly. It is the largest political party in the Soviet Union.
Following the reforms pioneered by Mikhail Gorbachev, the Communist Party moved away from towards traditional socialism and .
Confederate States (Fields of Gray)

The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly known as the Confederate States (CS or C.S.) is a nation located in , bordering the United States to the north and Mexico to the south.
The Confederate States' establishment was preceded by what was the ' reaction to the election of the anti-slavery Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency in 1860. South Carolina was the first state to secede from the United States and would be joined by eleven more states by mid-1861. A lengthy war would last between the Union (the United States) and the Confederacy (the Confederate States) between 1861 and 1867, ending in a Confederate victory after the latter earned diplomatic recognition from various European great powers and the Union's declining will to fight. The Treaty of Paris officially ended the War of Secession and solidified the Confederate States' political standing. 
The would be a dominant political issue for the Confederate States throughout the 19th century. Most major powers had abolished slavery and condemned the Confederate States' practice of slavery, however due to the nation's standing as an agricultural powerhouse, the western opposition to Confederate slavery was limited to only words and not action. Slavery would remain legal in the Confederate States until 1894, following the end of the Confederate-American War. After the abolition of slavery, the Confederate States began to rapidly industrialize as former slaves were desperate for work. Most former slaves would migrate to cities and work for newly opened factories for low wages.
Darkened Sun

Japan has had a history of rising, falling, and rising again. Her first rise began following a shocking victory in the , where she defeated the and gained control over and (present-day ). This victory marked Japan as a great power, and a decade later, was one of the victors of the . However, poor treatment by the western allies fueled bitterness in Japan, and a flame of nationalism was ignited. The nationalism led to Japan becoming one of the most powerful nations in the world, only to be crushed in the . Reconstruction and investment fueled the Japanese economic miracle, and by the end of the century, Japan had emerged as an economic superpower.
However, the Russo-Japanese War was a surprise victory for the Japanese. It is fairly possible that had one of Russia's greatest admirals in the war had survived, Japan would have faced bankruptcy and losing the war. What if the war had ended in a Japanese defeat? What if there was a Darkened Sun?

==Point of Divergence==
In OTL, General Polk of the Confederacy invaded Columbus, Kentucky, shortly before Grant invaded Paducah. In this timeline, the order from Polk to Brigadier General is lost, delaying the invasion of Kentucky by several days. On September 6, Brigadier General Hiram Grant invades . The pro-Confederate governor, Beriah Magoffin, called Grant's invasion a violation of Kentucky's proclaimed neutrality. Four days later, Polk's army would enter Kentucky via Columbus. Kentucky would eventually side with the Confederacy during the winter of 1861, while a Unionist government remained in [city].
Kentucky joining the Confederacy alters the War of Secession in the following year. The border with the provides the Confederacy with a strategic geographic border against the north. General Grant's invasion of Tennessee, in this timeline, takes much longer and is ultimately a failure. The war takes longer, lasting up to 1867 with the signing of the Treaty of London. Prior to this, Great Britain and France would recognize the Confederacy as it became apparent that the southern states were strong enough to become their own nation.
===Other changes===
Napoleon III's Mexican Empire succeeds due to the Union being unable to send supplies to the Mexican Republicans. Because of this, the Franco-Prussian War is delayed as the Emperor does not feel the urge to prove France's might. Prussia eventually declares war on France in 1873 due to a crisis (TBD), ending in a stalemate between the Germans (NGC federalizes during the war) against France and Austria-Hungary, however the latter are viewed as the tacit victors. The balance of power in Europe is not centered around Germany in this timeline and differing alliances form across the continent. France would form its Entente with Austria-Hungary, Bavaria, the southern German states, and the Ottoman Empire, while a Triple Alliance forms between the United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia.
First Great War (Central Victory)

The First Great War (often abbreviated FGW or GW1) was a global war that lasted from 1914 to 1917. Contemporaneously known as “the war to end all wars,” it led to the mobilization of close to 70 million military personnel, making it one of the largest wars in history. 
On 28 June 1914, , a nationalist, the Austro-Hungarian heir in , leading to the . In response, Austria-Hungary issued an ultimatum to Serbia on 23 July. Serbia’s response failed to satisfied the Austrians, and the two moved towards war. A network of interlocking alliances enlarged the crisis from a bilateral issue in the to one involving most of Europe. By July 1914, the great powers of Europe were divided into two coalitions: the Triple Entente, consisting of France, Britain, and Russia, and the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. The Triple Alliance was defensive in nature, allowing Italy to stay out of the war completely.
George Bush (New Union)

George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 – November 30, 2018) was an American politician, diplomat, and businessman who served as the 41st president of the United States from 1989 to 1997. A member of the , Bush also served in the , as , as , and as the 43rd .
Bush was raised in and attended before serving in the during . After the war, he graduated from and moved to , where he established a successful oil company. After an unsuccessful run for the , he won election to the in 1966. President appointed Bush to the position of in 1971 and to the position of of the in 1973. In 1974, President appointed him as the , and in 1976 Bush became the . Bush ran for president in 1980, but was defeated in the by . He was then elected vice president in 1980 and 1984 as Reagan's running mate.
In the , Bush defeated Democrat , becoming the first incumbent vice president to be elected president since in 1836. Foreign policy drove the Bush presidency, as he navigated the end of the and played a key role in the . Bush presided over the invasion of Panama and the Gulf War, ending the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait in the latter conflict. Though the agreement was not ratified until after he left office, Bush negotiated and signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which created a trade bloc consisting of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Domestically, Bush reneged on a 1988 campaign promise by signing a bill that increased taxes and helped reduce the federal budget deficit. He also signed the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and appointed David Souter and Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. Bush lost the 1992 presidential election to Democrat Bill Clinton following an economic recession and the decreased emphasis of foreign policy in a post–Cold War political climate.

Iran, also called Persia and officially the Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state located in the crossroads of Western, South, and Central Asia. It is bordered to the north by Armenia, Azerbaijan, the Caspian Sea, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, the south the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman, and Pakistan, the west by Mesopotamia and Turkey, and to the east by China. With a total area of 2,892,061 km2 (1,116,630 mi2) and a population of 146 million, it is the largest country in the Middle East.

===Arrival to Anahuac (Valley of Mexico)===
During the 10th century, the Toltecs, Tenapecs and other peoples founded several city-states or altepetl Anahuac, with the most powerful being Culhuacan and Azcapotzalco around the shores Lake Texoco. Then by the mid-13th century, the Nahua peoples who decendend from the Chichemec, including the Mexica, settled in the city of Culhuacan where they assimilated into the cultrue. The Mexica later get expelled after sacrificing a Culhuacan princess, and developed an artificial island that later became Tenochtitlan. The Mexica also settled into another island called Tlatelolco, which was later politically integrated into Tenochtitlan.

Mikhail Gorbachev (New Union)

Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev (born 2 March 1931) is a Soviet politician who served as the 1st President of the Soviet Union. The first democratically elected leader of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev also served as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 to 1993, the chairman of the from 1988 to 1989, and chairman of the Supreme Soviet from 1989 to 1990.
