Evolution is often called a "mechanism" of nature (that's how I was told in school anyways). So let's compare it to a mechanical watch. Just for fun. Take a mechanical watch apart, put all its pieces in a box, and shake that box. No matter how long or how many tines you shake that box, the watch will never come out put together and functioning properly. Is there a chance? Sure, as the basic principle of probability is that there is [i]always[/i] a chance. But the chances are so small that its basically impossible. Same with evolution. Is there a chance? Sure. There's also technically a chance I'll grow wings in 10 seconds and fly away. But the chances are so small that its basically impossible. Just a thought.

  • It's a serious question. You made the statement, and I know this is a little off topic, but frankly, you are the only individual on these forums that I know who is very informative but has a nasty habit of entertaining his grammar with vague pronoun usage. So what is "it" and who are the "morons" you stated earlier because I'm under the impression that you meant "morons" as in everyone, and "it" as the OP. Correct? If not, bloody answer the question already. It's not a difficult request.

  • Morons are the people buying into your reasoning and it is indeed the OP

    Thank you. It's not difficult.[spoiler]...but I have to say that it also is encouraging.[/spoiler]

  • I actually would like it if they would discern all information for themselves. Just because my reasoning appears logically doesn't mean that they should automatically take it at face value. I find your news quite encouraging actually.

  • No, annoying you and hearing people reading the OP and my responses.

  • Good news, they're reading the rebuttals too. And those rebuttals more than adequately tear down you responses. GG

    GG? ...and I'm actually getting more "evolution doesn't explain that" statements more than I am getting good rebuttals.

  • Go figure. More people are ignorant than informed.

  • I have no idea how providing more information as to one's view about origins is so informative that it makes people ignorant, but hey, you clicked on the forum. If you don't like it, ignore it. This doesn't concern skeptics, but those that are already at a state of ignorance before.

  • It concerns all because what you're doing undermines basic scientific understanding.

  • Basic scientific understanding? I highly doubt that. If so, quote me. It shouldn't be that difficult if you are so convinced.

    How? You haven't quoted me or even whatever is in the OP to make a point. I'm sorry that I can't go back in time, grab those statements that we exchanged, and put them in-the-now. So, if you wouldn't mind, please provide insight.

  • Actually i ve already quoted the entire OP, and provided a rebuttal point by point. Scroll down and read it.
