Quote by: weasel if you had taken any time whatsoever to explore the links I provided rickSP, you would know that the theory of evolution is pathetic. pure and simple. I do believe in micro evolution: the small adaptions species make in accordance to their environment. Macro evolution ("evolving from one specie into another"), however, is completely absurd. Look here's a bacteria! Let's wait two million years and we'll have a pet cat! It's ridiculous. |
That is preposterous and isn't what is proposed.

Quote by: weasel Believing in macro evolution is like saying that if you take apart an alarm clock, so that all it's pieces are laid out and you put them inside a shoe box, if you shake that box up and down for a couple of minutes, when you open up the lid, there will be a fully assembled alarm clock again. |
Absolute nonsense, a clock is not self replicating and does not function as a population with hereditary material. This analogy is so absurd you may as well talk about the colour of paint on your wall.

Quote by: weasel suppose you were taking a walk in the woods and you came across a gold watch. you knew the watch had to come from somewhere; someone had to have made it. The pieces didn't slowly assemble over time from the raw materials on the ground. Someone had to taken the time necessary to make sure that all the cogs and wheels clicked and worked together. Logically, there had to have been a watchmaker. |
Yeah, your point is? Does a gold watch function like a living organism?

Quote by: weasel Now apply that to the real universe. How can you look at a sunrise and not see the hand of a creator? How can you learn about the impossible intricacy of the human brain (which through modern technology we are just starting to understand) and not see a divine author? There are too many incedents that evolution cannot explain and account for. |
I look at this universe and I see it functioning without any divine intervention. I see it running on a set of rules that has allowed the formation of life as we know, for the elements that we are made of and processes that drive us. I look at this universe and I do not see your God and nor do I see the need for one.
So out goes your subjective evidence for a creator.
