@KCKproductionsTV Oh, not the old Boing747 assembled by a hurricane example again. This is such a nonsense argument that betrays you underlying ignorance.

i was in chch when he was there, how could i miss this?

[trashbash2001]

@KCKproductionsTV are you serious? horrible example. If you were to use that in your defense, it's the same thing as me saying the zach morris brick phone has "evolved" into the iPhone4s do defend evolution.

Why do you refuse to believe that over 4.6 billion years (which is the first thing religious ppl need to realize) that the earth has been around, things in nature.....wait for it.... CHANGE.

@KCKproductionsTV If I told you that you could win a billion coin tosses in a row, would you believe it? Guess what, if you had a ridiculous amount of people toss a coin, take the winners, and pit them against each other a billion times, someone would eventually win them all. This is how evolution works. Out of the billions of failures come extremely small, extremely lucky improvements, which over the course of time accumulate to create the spectacular amounts of life alive today.

@onbesnedenberelul Just acknowledge the utter stupidity of religion, it will go away on it's own, Try to reason day... would be a good start. Teach someone to consider facts.

@mikeeboy1000 There is so much fail is this comment... it blows my freakin' mind. 1* Atheism is not a religion. 2* 'Evolutionist' is not a technical term, Dawkins is a biologist who specializes in evolution. This is like calling someone a 'gravitist' because they understand gravity. 3* it is not the job of atheists or scientists to spoonfeed you evidence because you're too lazy or close minded to go to a museum/pick up a book. The evidence is everywhere, you just bury your head in the sand.

[Slanguaj]

@KCKproductionsTV That's ridiculous. Only ignorant creationists would dare assert that as a fact. The first cells were most likely no where near as complicated as present day ones, and unlike a boing 747 they could potentially be assembled by natural laws. PS emotions can be quantified through measuring physiological responses and meaning is relative to an observer... so I'm not sure in what way one would want to measure it.

[KCKproductionsTV]

People. How do u quantify emotions? How do u scientifically measure meaning? Fact: odds of even a single cell as complex as a common bacteria forming naturally is conpared equivelent to a hurricane crashing through a junkyard and reconstructing a boing 747 in mint condition.
