This got shot down in the Dover Case.

@GoodScienceForYou

You ask who am I to decide what evil is but you decided that I was evil. Who are you to decide that?

So Stalin may have not been evil, eh? He might have been a "worker of God's destiny"???

So who is this God to whom you are referring?

@pchtermino Hardly, the argument against the flagellum is as thin as the one for evolution, and full of holes. It was more like "well you can't prove what you say".

@gksnead77 ...weird and not natural if there wasn't life at all. Matter fact, the chances of life occurring are so high that humans cant even FATHOM the chances in their puny brains. Things like that is what drives me to believe in the natural explanations for life and everything in it. I also think about the Unintelligent design there is in the universe. There's a lot of unintelligent things in the human body, Earth, Space, etc.

@gksnead77 ...think about evolution and the first cells and such, It also DOES have a natural explanation. You have to understand that cells, bacteria, etc. are not stupid. They move around and do things that we now have complete natural explanations for. Now if you think about the IMMENSE amount of planets in the whole universe it really starts to become more likely that life would exist. Theres like 1,000,000,000 planets that are habitable for life and over 100+ BILLION galaxies. It would...

@gksnead77 Thousands of years ago people didn't know how lightning was formed. Lightning its self perplexed them. They had no way to explain it, so they made up a God called Zeus. People now a days cant explain evolution, universe, etc. so what do they do? The same thing. Make up a god because of their lack of intelligence about the natural world.

When you look at everything, it always has a natural explanation. We now know why volcanoes explode, we know how islands form, etc. So when I...

@MW2Addiction I completely agree with you, only my question is "What gives cells a reason to evolve?"

If everything is so random, then how can something without a purpose, without a reasoning brain, develop the capacity to strive to survive?

Personally, I believe in evolution, I just don't believe that something so extraordinary could come about on its own.

[cycophile]

this is the lengths these turds will go to belive that the bible is real even though tantamount evidence shows its false, or just a bunch of ramblings that had no clue as to the nature of reality, because the people that wrote it couldnt have had.

[MW2Addiction]

We know evolution is a fact right? We know we evolved gradually to what we are now right? So why is it hard to believe that the flagellum couldn't have done the same over time? After all humans are 100x more complex than the flagellum, yet people accept that we evolved.

Only religion can make smart people so stupid.

@LiveTheWild well put.
