1) Human beings are unique

2) I don't understand why humans are unique

3) Therefore God exists

Um, what? It's just an argument from ignorance, I would have hung up 7:26 minutes earlier...

@romansten9 For me the most exciting and convincing facts are from genetics. The problem is that you need a profound understanding of genetics to see these interesting things. So it is problematic to present these facts to a lay audience. And it is sad to say but I don't see it very often that creationists even understand what evolution is or have this scientific background. If so most discussion would take place.

@romansten9 "those of us that like to see evidence". No, you obviously don't want to see evidence. Otherwise you would educate yourself and just look up the things you want to know. Espescially for english speaking people there are plenty of sources for these topics. If you want to see something like "transitional fossils" (not that these are necessary to accept evolution) you can e.g. go to talk origins and see the impresing list.

All I can say is "If water was Stupid, Rubin would be an Ocean". I take that back, a glass of water has more brains than he does...

Man Made god, Not, god Made Man - This conversation proves that belief in gods and religions destroys brain cells.

actually a snake has a really short neck no neck at all because their rib cage starts extremely close to their head.

Q-Which animal has a longer neck than a giraffe? A: a snake, truly the funniest thing I've ever heard! Karl Pilkington eat your heart out.

@romansten9 "When I look at (what I call) creation, I see design everywhere, and to me this reflects a reality that extremely complex things MUST have had a designer. "

In other words: "It's entirely my opinion and sodoff if you don't like it! Waaaaahhhhh!"

[MakoSharkX]

@romansten9 "evolutionists have been known to fabricate evidence. Sounds rather desperate and sad. "

Coming from a creationist that is far more than desperate and sad, it's laughable.

[romansten9]

@MakoSharkX . Let me use your words in responding to you:

*sigh* Let me spell it out for YOU.

I never said any of the things you claim and I already know how your beliefs are supposed to "work"

The problem is that there are a few trillion connections made (in evolutionists heads) and those of us that like to see evidence aren't making the same connections. Its bad enough that evolutionists have been known to fabricate evidence. Sounds rather desperate and sad.
