I don't have enough faith to believe that water runs uphill or life constructed itself.

What an ironic choice of "impossibilities." Water runs uphill all the time if it has ANY momentum (mass times velocity) and meets an unobstructed incline. This principle is used in the fireman's firehose to shoot liquid water several stories high to combat burning buildings. I'm sure you've seen such a thing -- they like to show it in news footage all the time.

Since velocity is motion and motion requires energy (energy = 1/2 mass times velocity squared) you can quickly see that uphill water movement can be driven by energy.

This is the same thing that drives simplicity to complexity here on earth -- the reversal of the so-called 2nd law of thermodynamics. In fact the 2nd law is carefully crafted to apply to CLOSED systems -- but the earth is not closed, it is open to energy input from the sun. So life on earth can evolve from the simple to the complex because energy input from the sun. Just like water can move uphill with energy input.

Someone said creationists and ID'ers are morons. I think that is a bit harsh. But it is accurate.

Nice, VERY nice, very explanatory, any other creationist now wanna spout about how evolution goes against the 2nd law?

I thought not.

The problem I have with calling them Morons, is that morons are not expected nor are able to think. They seem to be able to, but just don't want to.

I call them fanatics, and are sheep just wanting and needing to be led around. Scares me for the future of this country, thank goodness they are a minority.

Thank you for telling me that you believe that water does in fact run uphill. Also you should know; if you you let the sun shine in your room, it will organize itself, Voila, no effort housework! I choose not to namecall. But I do notice that you gullible darwinites are prone to call names rather
than accept scientific facts. Frankly, I don't care what you want to believe. Just let students know the truth: your religion is unscientific!
