Underwater astonishments - amazing - watch 4:20

David Gallo shows jaw-dropping footage of amazing sea creatures, including a shape-shifting cuttlefish, a pair of fighting squid, and a mesmerizing gallery of bioluminescent fish that light up the blackest depths of the ocean. He focuses on the work of two scientists: Edith Widder at the Ocean Research & Conservation Association, and Roger Hanlon at the Marine Biological Lab.

You don't even understand basic logic, pointing to something and saying we don't understand it therefore god did it isn't an argument.

[sweatytoothmadman]

They said the same things about rainbows and yet here we are with an understanding of their physical properties. The believe you hold that use god did it as an explanation is comparable to the Greeks point to the sun going around the earth and stating "God did it".

[sweatytoothmadman]

Its interesting that the ultimate intelligence of the universe can only convay truth threw despair and suffering.

[abduhzelda]

@sweatytoothmadman Only Despair and Suffering will bring out the fear of GOD in you.

@NephilimFree So what non-natural mechanism has any protein ever come about by? Are you saying that dehydration synthesis is supernatural? If so, what data is that based on?

[NephilimFree]

@TheScienceFoundation All of them. Even those which arise are based upon the design of extant protiens. The science of statistical anaylsis demonstrates that the odds of a single medium-sized protien coming to be by natural molecular interactions is 10^950. That's a ration of 1 to a number greater than all of the particles of matter in the known universe. This is, according to science, impossible times impossible times impossible. CYA

[TheScienceFoundation]

@NephilimFree Do you have an example of a protein that didn't form naturally?

[iSOBigD]

@NephilimFree You're completely wrong. The theory of evolution says nothing about how the universe or earth came about.

The mere fact that there are humans on earth and not on billions of other plants shows that it's mere luck. It's basically statistically impossible for atoms to get together perfectly in order to form a pebble or a grain of sand, yet I'm sure you've seen lots of those at the beach, haven't you?

God, purpose and "design" have nothing to do with it.

[NephilimFree]

Regarding this, she said,

"Why? Because modernists "typically fear that any discrediting of naturalistic evolution will end in women being sent to the kitchen, gays to the closet, and abortionists to jail."

"Design and the Discriminating Public ", Touchstone, July/August 1999, p. 26

[NephilimFree]

Nancy Pearcy, quoting and writing about intelligent design proponent Phillip Johnson, observes...when lecturing against Darwinism on university campuses, he has found "that any discussion with modernists about the weaknesses of the theory of evolution quickly turns into a discussion of politics, particularly sexual politics

[NephilimFree]

"I suppose the reason we leapt at Origin of the Species was that the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores" - Sir Julian Huxley, Head of UNESCO - one of the world's leading evolutionist, interview for TV program.

"Truth About Evolution's Deception," Dr. D. James Kennedy, 2004

[NephilimFree]

Do you believe man's DNA is 90+% similar to man's? You believe this is evidence of evolution, don't you? Well, the same science and criteria by which you put faith in the statistical analysis of those things, demonstrates to us that protiens cannot form naturally.

But you don't like that math, so it's got to be false. What is different about you than any other evolutionist? I see no difference.
