The more we learn about the complexities of life the more we realize how little we know. Example: the more we know about the complexity of the cell, the more amazed we are. The more we discover = the more we know and the less we need God is simply NOT true. The more we discover, the more we realize the amazing complexities of life and how little we actually know! :)

I dont' even need to look into the comment section to know what they're arguing about right now.

[mhugo178]

So yes, GOD is really needed for that..

God the creator is what atheists call nature. He is responsible for life and the unity of ALL organisms via the structure and function of DNA

It's like watching a train wreck. I can't look away.

There were three things I found rhetorically noteworthy about this video. First, the narrator’s comment about divinity. Second, the use of ‘baby,’ in reference to prenatal humans. Finally, the statement that the fetus is “kind of like a little human.” The fetus isn’t "kind of like" a little human, it simply IS a little human. That's well established scientific fact. Whether it’s a ‘baby,’ is a matter of opinion, however. And why can't nature create complex systems? Is god really needed for that?

Awesome video !

Thank You.

Wow, you really showed your understanding of those areas of biology/science and intelligence with that statement didn't you. And just so as not to waste anymore of my time with you, I'll answer your other post here as well. Did I miss the announcement where they definitively proved a creator has ever existed? No? Oh, that's because that can never be proven, so where is this "truth" again?

You do not believe what is truth which is foolish.

Fossil and genetic proof is proof of creation. Derp

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,

and before you were born I consecrated you;

I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
