Useless to further discuss this. Tired of arguing. Macro-evolution doesn't impress me. It lacks the ring of truth even without its lack of evidence, which is why the debate wasn't ended long ago.

Another time.

Thank you for your admission that you have absolutely no evidence or facts to present for your claims.

There are two observations I am wondering about.
Law, implies order, or predictability.
Here are the most relevant definitions.

Law: a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature; "the laws of thermodynamics" [syn: law of nature].A formulation describing a relationship observed to be invariable between or among phenomena for all cases in which the specified conditions are met.
A generalization based on consistent experience or results.

They all indicate a form of order. Now I have also observed laws of nature being referred to as forces of nature. Here are relevant definitions of force

1 : a cause of motion, activity, or change. : (physics) the influence that produces a change in a physical quantity; "force equals mass times acceleration". physical energy or intensity. a powerful effect or influence.

Now, the word force, as it applies to nature is generally a noun. I think that it would not be out of line to say that nature follows natural law in creating these forces. So, when the statement is made that evolution is a process of unguided forces, we can surmise that evolution is a process of unguided forces, which are the result of natural law.

Here are the relevant definitions for guide.

Something that serves to direct or indicate. To direct the course of; steer. To exert control or influence over.

Hence, unguided means the opposite.

Is the term unguided forces a contradiction?
