Think of it like this, evolution believe that if you have a deck of 52 cards and two jokers, and then shuffle the deck thoroughly, and throw the entire deck up in the air as high as you can, that eventually all of the cards will land, in perfect order, and perfectly aligned. The probability of this even happening one time in a billion years approaches zero. Then, to believe evolutionary "theory," you have to accept on blind faith that this same miracle of perfect order from total chaos has repeated itself millions of times to account for each of the plants, animals, and life on earth.
" Good article. I would like to see an evolutionist answer this."
Ok, it's crap. The *probabilities* were pulled out of the ass of the author. It has no relation whatsoever with any known physical process. It is desperate wishful thinking.
I like your very scientific analysis here. The illustration above is called an analogous syllogism, a literary technique of comparison to real world examples that people can relate to. I'm sorry that was lost on you, however, as a devout adherent to the secular fundamentalist religious belief of evolution, it doesn't surprise me that this analogy was lost on you.
However, I am quite pleased that the wondeful evolutionists that have participated in this discussion have clearly demonstrated just how fervently zealous they are over their secular fundamental religious beliefs.
The ad hoc attacks rather than addressing the underlying criticisms of evolution show nothing but just how much of a zealous fundamentalist movement evolution truly is.
My favorite was the response to the article that HARVARD, that "conservative" and God-loving bastion of support for all things conservative (tongue in cheek of course), notes clearly that evolution includes the origination or "genesis" of life itself. So much so that it is dedicating initially a million dollars to its study.
How interesting that the evolution fundies simply attack even the source of the article, another "conservative" bastion of God-loving reporters at the USA Today...

You throw this
1) as an insult?
2) to create an equivalency between ID, as faith, and evolutioin as faith.
This is common from the evangelical "ID be science" crowd.
You degrade your faith,religion and fundamentalism and science all in one ill considered statement.
It is your faith that is in crisis.
If the existance of a 90 million year old fossil threatens the existance of God in your mind, you have some work to do.
The conclusion of ID is based on a leap of faith.
Science can be faith to a materialist.
ID can only be faith to science.
This is not a debate over the existance of God.
It is a debate over the continued existance of science.

It wasn't lost on me. Nobody has come up with any realistic probability concerning the creation of life from nonliving matter because there is no way to make such a calculation. Anybody who says they have such a calculation is pulling the number out of their ass. When I said *It has no relation whatsoever with any known physical process." I was talking about the alleged calculation showing evolution not possible.
"My favorite was the response to the article that HARVARD, that "conservative" and God-loving bastion of support for all things conservative (tongue in cheek of course), notes clearly that evolution includes the origination or "genesis" of life itself."
This is a lie. Only the MSM article alluded to this study supporting evolution. The Harvard scientists made no such claim. Because some journalist made an ignorant claim it is true? You really WILL believe anything.
"Think of it like this, evolution believe that if you have a deck of 52 cards and two jokers, and then shuffle the deck thoroughly, and throw the entire deck up in the air as high as you can, that eventually all of the cards will land, in perfect order, and perfectly aligned."
Hmmm. That probability is the same as the probablility for anyother.
"The probability of this even happening one time in a billion years approaches zero."
Ah, a typical sentence penned by one intent on misleading the ignorant. Pure garbage.
