Atheists cant deliver the goods? What are we supposed to deliver? Denying outrageous claims that have no evidence to support them is all we do. Gods or deities are all claimed by theists without evidence. Atheists simply say no, I will not accept the assumption of a deity when there is absolutely no evidence. Its up to you, and other theist to deliver the goods, after all, you are the ones who claim to have the answers.

Natural selection doesn't select traits based upon what size the animal is or any such nonsense, natural selection chooses genes that aid in the survival and reproduction of the animal so those genes can be passed on to the next generation, also atheism shouldnt be expected to deliver any goods, atheism invites doubt of religious dogma not an anteth

@AlainG80 yep, Pteradactyles had 40 foot wingspans, but evolution can't evolve wings big enough for a horse. Drivel...

[Mossinator5000Deluxe]

@AlainG80 you believe in Teridactiles, but something as big as a horse evolving wings, absurd.

[Mossinator5000Deluxe]

@AlainG80 it's people like me that write textbooks so lamen like you have a basic idea how complex things actually work. We dumb it down for you. Next.

[Mossinator5000Deluxe]

@Srxjer Atheists always call people names and tell people how stupid they are, but when it comes right down to it, they can't deliver the goods. If reality is infinite and has never not existed in all of eternity, and it forged human life, then in eternity, I must believe every story ever told happened somewhere in distant space and time. Evolution was given so many chances that it finally hit the jackpot and evolved Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but God, rubbish.

[Mossinator5000Deluxe]

God created, programmed, and designed science. Atheists love to try to disprove God through science, evolution, etc. He created all science in our reality. Science doesn't dictate God. It's his creation. He is the programmer, not the programmed.

[Mossinator5000Deluxe]

I guess Dawkins next topic to tackle is how the New Testament guessed that in one small piece of history man would have less and less faith in God, Israel would become a nation, Jerusalem would be divided, the weather would become eratic, the world would be in perplexing financial trouble, people could see one event happen all over the world....." and more. Doubt he goes head to head with Biblical prophecy. Then he might seek.... And find.... And be accountable. Can't have that.

@Mossinator5000Deluxe Absolute drivel.

@AlainG80 -sure it's magic. It can create life when convenient to Atheism, but suddenly it loses ability if you talk about it evolving life so supreme to us that the life would seem godlike to us. ;-)

@Mossinator5000Deluxe

evolution can create life when its convenient to atheism? is that what you are trying to say guy? If you are, please shut up. 

[AlainG80]

@Mossinator5000Deluxe

Evolution isn't magic idiot, get a biology textbook or subscribe to a college level biology class. You only make a fool out of yourself.

[AlainG80]

@Mossinator5000Deluxe

The only mammals with wings are chiroptera. Evolution can only work with what it has. A horse already has 4 legs, where would the other 2 come from? By the way for a horse to overcome gravity it would need enormous wings which don't aid in survival and cost too much energy. The reason we don't believe in wings is both skepticism and knowledge. Unicorns are probably the aurochs, and the mythical unicorns horns are Monodon monoceros tooths.

I'd be happy to have this read out at my funeral, .. very poetic.

[lashkaretoiba]

@bonnie43uk I second that.
