So please name a few of those ways that a human can fit together cause I think there's only two
English
-
there are more than two pieces to human dna. there's literally millions upon millions of different combinations and traits.
-
Yet they only affect physical cosmetics, resulting in the wide variety of variants per species. How observant.
-
Literally every human that ever lived and functioned properly was unique. The watch will only work with one specific combination of pieces. There's no one specific combination of pieces for humans. Sure, the general shape is the same, but there are several major differences. Any such difference in the watch would make it unable to function.

I see your point but it's not a very good one because you need the same parts for every human and using your point, which is completely logical but in my view flawed, there is extra information that you need along with the basic components.
-
Do you know what DNA is? Essentially, DNA is the instruction manual for contrasting the organism. Everyone human's DNA is 99.9% identical, but that .1% still includes billions of base pairs. If you tried to put the watch together doing a billion things slightly differently, it would not work. That's not even the biggest problem with the watch analogy either.
-
And I don't see how this interferes with my statement
-
Because you clearly don't understand how complex a living organism is. The "pieces" go much deeper than organs.
-
Yet they manifested from simpler beginnings?
-
No I understand how complex an organism is. I just also understand that you still need the basic components before you can add the complex ones
-
Is this an argument for or against evolution cause it seems to be against
-
No, it's an explanation of why the watch analogy is terrible. It shows a very poor understanding of genetics, natural selection, and evolution in general.
-
So why was it in response to my comment?
-
Because you seem to think the watch analogy actually makes sense.
-
Where does it not
-
I've already explained why this is a terrible analogy for evolution, but I'll do it again because you seem a bit slow. 1) There's only one combination of parts that will make a functioning watch. There are hundreds of trillions of combinations to make functioning organisms. 2) Evolution doesn't have the most complex organisms simply coming into existence, as in the watch analogy. Evolution describes how simple organisms grew into more complex organisms. 3) Evolution isn't entirely random. Shaking the watch pieces is completely random. Evolution has random components such as mutation and genetic drift, but natural selection, the most important factor, is anything but random. If you think the watch analogy makes any sense at all in regards to evolution, you clearly don't understand the subject. I'm guessing this is the case, because you have yet to respond using any logic or science, even bad logic or science. You just keep dodging all my points. In your next reply, please make it clear that you both read and understood my explanations, and give logical arguments of your own.

Ok I see how it is a poor analogy for evolution it would have better been used in response to the creation of life
-
A bit better, but still not perfect. Besides, science doesn't have a clear answer as to the origin of life. Evolution describes how existing life changed over time.

Hmm at least your not as bad as purse
