And when the design is bad, why it isn't changed? A non-central column in a biped animal is a bad idea that causes a lot of back pain, scoliosis and a lot of other problems. The pharynx where you mix air, water and food is a killer idea - it kills a lot of people each year. Combining a small birth canal with a baby with big head was too a painful and killer idea.

The idea of having testes going down from the abdomen to the scrotum too was a killer idea, as the hernias that can result from this caused serious health problems and death. And what about a reproduction system that can led to potentially lethal ectopic pregnancy?

And what about the quirks? A laringe nerve that goes down to the heart and the up to the laringe? Or the tissue responsible for feeding the retina over the retina, diminishing it's efficiency? Or the "playground" next to the "sewer"? Or the male uretra, a soft canal passing inside an organ that can swell and interrupt it, the prostata?

"Go home, designer, you are drunk."

On the other side, cars and clocks are a bad analogy for biological evolution: they don't mutate, and they don't reproduce - they don't evolve, not in the biological sense.

1. Because the temperature of the planet is taken globally, and not in the polar cap?

2. Because your life is too short to see speciation happening?

3. There's a lot of intermediate beings, you only need to go to a Natural History Museum.

4. "there should be that category as well as others" You mean, intermediate beings? There are millions os different fossils, the evolution of most animals and insects we know is well documented in fossil record. And in the DNA.

5. It's already evidenced by several different lines of research, from paleontology to chemistry, with the strongest evidences coming from genetics and biochemistry. As Theodosius Dobzhanski said, "Evolution as a process that has always gone on in the history of the earth can be doubted only by those who are ignorant of the evidence or are resistant to evidence, owing to emotional blocks or to plain bigotry."

Newton was extremely sensitive to criticism, and even ceased publishing until the death of his arch-rival Hooke. It was only through the prodding of Halley that Newton was persuaded at all to publish the Principia Mathematica. In the latter portion of his life, he devoted much of his time to alchemical researches and trying to date events in the Bible. After Newton's death, his burial place was moved. During the exhumation, it was discovered that Newton had massive amounts of mercury in his body, probably resulting from his alchemical pursuits. This would certainly explain Newton's eccentricity in late life. Newton was appointed Warden of the British Mint in 1695. Newton was knighted by Queen Anne. However, the act was "an honor bestowed not for his contributions to science, nor for his service at the Mint, but for the greater glory of party politics in the election of 1705" (Westfall 1993, p. 625).

No...not thin skinned, just a bit tired of misinformation masquerading as news.

Our buddy Neil is as mis-informed as they come when it comes to anything Christian or much of science as it relates to Christianity either.

I noticed that nobody writes things about Islam or slams Islam with the same fervor as they do Christianity...lol...I wonder if it's because Christians don't fire-bomb those who disagree?

Christians in this country only fire bomb abortion clinics and assassinate abortion doctors. These folks and Islamic terrorist are one in the same.


I guess Neil is just ignorant of the fact that many of the scientists of the past (and present) were, and are, bible believing Christians who believe in a special creation only 7000 years or so ago.

But then, the facts don't matter when it's Christianity you are slamming.


Thanks for bringing this up so I could point that out...I appreciate you doing your part.
