The point made is that evolution theory says life created itself.

Does creationist theory say you can lie your way into heaven?

If you want to "observe" something, toss a frog in a blender then let the mixture of everything needed for life to create itself sit in the sun.

No that would be intelligent design. It took intelligence to throw the frog in the blender, and intelligence to press the blender switch. So funnily enough you have just disproved Intelligent Design, not evolution.

How about the fact that humans and chimpanzees share about 98% sequence similarity, including broken genes and other junk DNA. And a chevy camaro and a pontiac firebird probably have greater than 98% similarity. That does not prove anything. Except in the case of the cars, they were designed nearly identical.

If a chevy camaro and a pontiac firebird both had an identical set of scratches on the paint work I would suspect they had originated from the same source.

NZ - If you want to "observe" something, toss a frog in a blender then let the mixture of everything needed for life to create itself sit in the sun.

BS - No that would be intelligent design. It took intelligence to throw the frog in the blender, and intelligence to press the blender switch. So funnily enough you have just disproved Intelligent Design, not evolution.

I have friends in France who would take you to task on your assertion.

Perhaps Nathan Zachary and Randall Niles were both touched by the same intellegent creator and wrote the exact same words independent of each other? I just calculated on the back of my hand and the odds are better than a blended frog putting itself back together and furthermore, there's no such thing as a dishonest creationist right?

I see "Troll-fest 2005" is well underway, featuring a rag-tag band of hearty anti-Evo "newbies" miraculously equipped with lengthly ping lists, and armed with shop-worn arguments and bogus quotes with which to toss rhetorical Molotov cocktails on the thread, in a desperate hope to incite a flame war with the Evos.

Any bets as to how many of them last the week....????

Be careful Zach,

The rules of these threads.. are that they get to use all those sorts of analogies (and actually much much worse and more ugly), but you do not, got it?

Remember.. you are up against the greatest minds of the Cosmo-Evo Cult of the flying spaghetti monster /sarc>

If you do then do so at your peril.

Look at both the accuser and the accuser.

LOL!

That policy is so gay.

Apparently it is, in the high-school slang sense.

Double standards all around.

My point is that sometimes things are very identical because they are designed that way. It does not prove anything about evolution.

And where, pray tell, in the Bible does it say you can have a sense of humor?

There is no transitional fossil record.This is what is needed to give any evidence for Darwins theory of evolution ( descent with modification). There is no transitional fossil record.

But by all means, if you claim there is one show us all. I'm sure every museum in the world would be interested in acquiring it for even ONE species.

Darwin also said everything sprouted forth from spontanious generation. Everything, plant and animal, has one common ancestor, a supposed single cell that created itself. He said " original life probably arose from a "little pond" where sunlight was acting on organic salts". Modern evolutionists, proclaim that "ultraviolet light acting on a primitive atmosphere of water, ammonia & methane produced a "hot dilute soup" of basic life".

If you find that funny, so do I. It's magic! The people claim ID relies on magic, I claim so does TOE. At least ID is more believable. Modern biology proves ID. Nobody put me up to anything. My posts reflect both what evolutionists say and creationists say. Perhaps TOE people should read up on what TOE is, before they claim "it doesn't say that". TOE is Cosmic Evolution, Stellar Evolution, Chemical Evolution, Planetary Evolution, Organic Evolution, Macro Evolution and finally Micro Evolution. each step in the TOE requires magic. If you find it humorous, good. So do I. TOE people make such fools of themselves.

No sense of humor? Creationists have the funniest comics in the world.

False

Every natural science museum already has plenty off them. Quit making such a fool of yourself and stop by to check them out sometimes.
