Again, you are a hypocrite. You get so strung up on any attack made upon you yet you have the audacity to say that all evolutionists are racists.
Evolution is racist. It denies that all humans are children of God and asserts that some are more 'advanced' than others. In fact it asserts that there is a biological hierarchy of species and that humans are part of that hierarchy. So yes, racism is integral to evolutionary theory.
. Then you bring in a statment about the difference between artwork and rocks. How artwork is about invoking a feeling and impressing somebody. Now remember gore, this whole argument is about debating the improbability of something (rocks or universes) after the fact. So I make the connection that you are saying that the universe (like a piece of art) is not random and has been designed to invoke a feeling or impress somebody.
You keep repeating something which is not true, read the first sentence by me below, it says that it is absurd to say that the purpose of the Universe or the Grand Canyon is to awe us. I say it very clearly. That you continue to insist that I said what I did not say even after it has been pointed out to you gives a strong implication of dishonesty on your part:
To: B. Rabbit
There is design to art, there is no design to the Grand Canyon in the same sense. It did not arise to impress those looking at it. A painting is designed to convey a thought, a feeling, the Grand Canyon while it may awe those who look at it was not designed to provide the view but just to get water from one place to another.-me-
You're making yourself very suspect in my eyes. Backtracking to your original argument about the universe being like a work of art and melding it to the above response, you are saying that the universe is designed to convey a thought or feeling and to impress those looking at it? This is what you're saying? Absurd.
Yes it is totally absurd to say that the purpose of the Universe or the Grand Canyon is just for us to look at it and be awed. You certainly need a course in reading comprehension and no honest person that reads my statement above would think I said that. Seems that not being able to disprove my statements you try to twist them around. A very dishonest form of argument.

This is what Patrick Henry is talking about. You are trying to provoke me. Calling anybody who believes in the scientific theory of evolution a "racist" is laughable. I can't help but wonder how many friends you have with a thought process like that. Prove that, and I want a reputable source. I don't want a source from Creationists. I don't want a source from the KKK (or any other ignorant racist organization). I want an article in Discover Magazine or something which says that evolution demands a hierarchy of races within the human race.
