Accident or Intellegent Design? Here we go; they start out with the classic Creationist false dichotomy. Marc Surtees would be proud.
"Oh noes!! The evil materialistic scientists are so arrogantly assuming that the Universe is limited to simplistic non-fantasies!"
The authors of Y-Origins seems to live in a world in which science has historically required Christianity to function.
This is one of the saddest arguments presented by Creationists because they are missing the magnificence that exists all around them. They believe that by looking at the their surroundings, imposing a supernatural origin (God, magic fairies, what have you,) and then being impressed by the imagined things supposed ability to create our existence makes their view somehow more enlightened then any non-biased investigation. The opposite is in fact true. Everything I have ever learned about science has been more exciting and more inviting than any story has ever been, whether it be from the pages of a religious text or an episode of "Star Trek". Even something as seemingly sterile as Calculus has provided me glimpses into a universe far more incredible than I could ever imagine.
Creationists wave their hands at all of that and instead pretend that the collimated efforts of millions of people over thousands of years is itself, a vague and unsubstantiated fable they call, Evolutionism, or in the case of Y-Origins, Materialism.
This argument is what began the downfall of VenomFangX. His arrogant assumptions that the existing scientific theories were so simple that an uneducated prick like him could challenge their validitys is part of what motivated him to invite Thunderf00t to a debate.
*Note: I know that I generalized the wide verity of religious beliefs, I needed to do that for brevity.
*Error1: The Y-Origins article stated that our Universe is 95% dark matter AND dark energy. I mistakenly thought that they had just said that 95% of our universe is dark matter.

Heh I have my own weird unique idea about matter/dark matter and such...:> Though while it explains...the nature of gravity/matter/dark matter....it doesn't explain why :>
ROLF!! Of course, how could I have forgotten NephilimFree's authoritative videos on Cosmology! Boy, do I ever feel foolish. I should send a message to NephilimFree thanking him for helping me with my education. Oh wait! I can'! He blocked me a year ago!
I doubt the majority of Christians even know what a scientific Journal is and how it is different from any other book. As a Christian I sure didn't. I thought I could use high school biology and chemistry to debunk evil science. /watch?v=fHS6MhrgOHE I also used arguments I just made up without using any sources or research at all. /watch?v=-053KKUhHuU Creationists don't understand that science only tells them the basics, because they don't have the time to teach everyone all the details
Oh, I love seeing them try and throw it in your face. Then call it a moral system. The joy I get from pointing out the little things that don't make sense. : )

Yet we were able to investigate it enough to figure out it was there!
Seriously, Nick. Get a life.
