QUOTE(MA)
Tackle you say? All of your comments dont say anything; almost as worthless or than some of the arguments u quoted. You were trying to pick apart things from the last link which actually didn't even present an argument. That site is just an introduction with lots of links to actual arguments. It has the weakest arguments compared to the other two.
Ok, so you concede that website is null and void. You made that point more verbose than necessary.
QUOTE
Why dont you try tackling the other two?
...
You can't just say it's BS without actually stating your reasons why. How about u go try picking apart every single word in all those sites and tell me whats wrong with each and every one of them with a good thorough explaination. I'll be waiting.
MA, as every psuedoscientist knows and takes advantage of, it takes more time to debunk dubious arguments than to make one up. Links and sources are supposed to support your argument, not be your entire argument itself. You however, do what many of us call "link dropping," where a fundie will drop a link and expect the non-believers to actually debunk everything it in. 99% of the time, if some point is debunked, he won't bother defending it, but simply find another dubious website that slips past his balony detector and throw it at the rebuttal. Also 99% of the time, he hasn't even read the link himself and expects others to refute it.
With that said, I hope you're not one of those types. MA, I want you to pick three arguments that you think are the strongest for your case, and Cheeze(if he's still here) will examine those in detail. Once those three are dismantled, you can decide for yourself how well those other arguments hold up.
QUOTE
Well why dont u guys go send those people a personal e-mail or something and tell em they're wrong?
And why don't you write a book with the overwhelming evidence God exist and try to get it peer reviewed?
QUOTE
f nothing they said was right, why would i even post those links?
Because you don't have a balony detector.
QUOTE
Cmon use ur common sense.

QUOTE
I think [TheOddAngel] should actually present something rather than just say "I think all thats stuff is BS" and look like a fool. THEN as a defense, i might present my arguments.
Kind of like how you did it with Cheeze, eh?
QUOTE(Kirby)
Ok lets experiment. From what i've heard, Darwinists assert that science is built on observation and repetition. Okay, suppose we observe and repeat and experiment where we allow natural laws to work on rock for the next ten years. Will we ever get the faces on Mount Rushmore? Never.

But wait.. of course... just because its 0.000000000001% chance... its still "possible" right? Wrong. Even though its virtually zero, we believe the possibly is actually zero. Why would someone make such an assumption? The word "chance" is not a cause. Chance is a word that we use to describe mathmatical possibilities. No power on its on. Chance is nothing. You could say it's what rocks dream about
Why not? After all, we do have figures such as
the face of Mother Teresa on a cinnamon roll,
the face of Jesus on a potato chip, and
the face on Mars,
the face of Vladimir Ilich Lenin appearing on my shower curtain, and
a nebula giving us the finger, which were all arrived at blunderously. With a million cinnamon buns being made every day, or a million nebulas in the galaxy, it's really not a suprise and definately not a miracle for these chance happenings to occur.

No it wouldn't because nature disorders, it doesn't organize things (fact that nature brings things toward disorder "entropy" is an aspect of 2nd Law of Thermodynamics). More time makes it worse, not better.
Your right, but the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (2LoT) doesn't impede evolution at all. My step-aunt will still be able to have her next kid, even though all the matter in her womb will have to go from a state of disorder to a state of order. The beautiful formation of a geometically symmetical snowflake isn't prohibitied by 2Lot, why? Because we are constantly recieving energy from the Sun available to do work, therefore we are not in a closed system. 2LoT only applies to closed systems.
If a lightbulb is shining on a plant, the plant will never have to worry about falling into a state of disorder, since it's constantly recieving energy from the Sun. If I take away the lightbulb, the plant will eventually go towards a state of disorder and eventually die.

Let's suppose we throw red, white, and blue confetti (like the little protein molecules in the socalled "premedorial soup") out of an airplane 1,000 feet above your house. Whats the chance its going to form the American flag on your lawn? Not much. Natural laws are going to mix them up. You need more time? Fine. We'll throw them out of an airplane 10,000 feet above your house. Natural laws work upon them and makes the confetti even more disordered.
What if it landed and gave you the finger? In any case, abiogenesis is not a part of evolution theory. Evolution also does not predict irreductably complex (IC) systems, which you seem to be alluding to, to develop within one generation. If something like that ever happened, it would actually be evidence
against evolution. Evolution predicts that it will happen in gradual stages.

If you flip a coin, whats the chance it'll be heads. 50% right? But what CAUSES it to flip? An intellegent being applies an amount of rotational torgue upon the coin...
Not always.
QUOTE
Instead of not knowing a natural mechanism by which the first life came into being, Darwinists suggest a powerless word that just states possibility.
Again, abiogenesis is not a part of evolution theory. After all, if we didn't know how the first atom came into existence, would that impede our ability to explain chemistry?
