u need to xplain it by your miserable brainless mutations.

WHAT?! David Attenborough, whom this was taken from, is an atheist. Look up HIS opinions on God.

Science hasn't explained everything, it's OKAY to not KNOW.

There are many mysteries to be solved. Just because we haven't explained it does not provide proof to some all-powerful sky daddy.

Termites' biomass outweighs ours and yet they're able to coexist with the planet. Don't lose the message: We have never built something to the scale that these insects have.

lol

sky-daddy

ur best argument against your Creator

first explain how life "arises" from matter

lol

It's not like cells just randomly appeared from chemicals just like that. It was a long and drawn out process spanning a couple billion years - which hwen you look at it in terms of chemistry is alot of time for the process of nature to establish life in step by step increments. Your question is highly reductionistic and indicates your ignorance on the subject. Read a bit, then come back and make some valid claims. AND Just because we don't have an explanation does not prove God by default.

[HighFlyingDutchman]

so for billions of years,a "not really cell yet" cell waited,tried and tried waited and waited

then the miracle happened

and the next trillions of miracles were not really difficult to come into...

and where do u know i didnt read?

lemme guess,only atheists read,right

loz

It does not counter what I was saying at all!. I do not profess to have an intuitive knowledge of how termites or ant colonies work, neither does anyone else!. These studies take 20 or more years and are conducted in a very exacting and specific manor!> We simply need more time, but what we have been able to determine so far is fascinating!. Go to ted talks director on here and find the ant video it blew my mind!.

[gothicn]

but to counter what your saying scientists have noticed that termites are able to react to dangers far to fast for it to be them comuacting just by smell alone

[SmokiSounds]

Sir, the point is that evolution insists on life coming from a dead matter. Yes, over billions of years...It rained down on rocks and soup of chemicals...Then through a super-duper-complicated process....The first self-duplicating living cell appeared. How? They don't know.

Pathetic.

[joebot1]

It is now known that Ants and termites (and probably lots of other creatures)( use smell to coordinate their efforts!. As an insect basses another, it ribs a leg onto a passing insect. On the leg is residue from where it has been giving the insect a notion of what is going on and what it is to do!.

[SkinnerRichard]

It is your complete lack of knowledge in the subject you're talking about which implies that you don't read, it has little to do with theism or atheism. Your claims are once again reductionistic and have no bearing on reality. Educate cyourself, and if you're going to refute evolution, at least try to provide some valid arguments (which is highly difficult since there are none). Quit denying a direct observation.

HINT:

Beginning and ending a statement with "lol" only makes you look insecure.

i seriously doubt that anyone "that isn't completely mad" is LOL'ng at how brilliantly they're doing in the great termite debate of 08.

[SpaceHulker]

lets see it requires a specific amount of elements and then energy, such as a huge lightning, to create a small cell like creature, that creature must then find some sort of food before it dies, and thus life is born. (or atleast, thats A theory.
