How long do you suppose it would be before I could randomly generate even a simple useful program? One whose complexity is one billionth that of a living, reproducing, intelligent lifeform? What is it with you CRIDers? Is it absolutely impossible for you to discuss this without misrepresenting the Theory at hand? I am keeping a tote board and there are very few CRID posts that actually address the issue at hand. But this thread will go into a hall of fame for the number of logical fallacies in a single thread (virtually all CRIDers).
Please, read some of Ichneumon's very well-written, researched and reasoned posts on this thread. Then, when you have a fundemental grasp of what theory of evolution is, you can try to directly engage the arguments before you.

Why, to conservative bible schools that teach the God-given truth of creationism, of course! I mean, it's not like foreign students are flocking to those atheistic Ivy League schools that teach evilution. LOL!! Even the very conservative much maligned Bob Jones University in S.C. teaches the theory of Evolution, where are the other schools on the debate?? Why they are shunning any form of creation teaching except in their religious courses.

I guess it doesn't take much to be published in the Spectator. Or here in FreeperLand.

What this means is, basically, that this guy is full of poop and that the bible literalists on this forum need to take a rest. Yes, Oh Great Master: it is as you say.....

It is clear by now that there is a "scholars union." The "scholars union" believes in the religion of Darwin, and anyone not believing in Darwin's theories are not accepted in the union, no matter what their academic accomplishments, their scientific credentials or their skills. They must adhere to the belief system of the union, or they are belittled. This Texas scientist, therefore, will be as belittled on Free Republic as a Kent Hovind. Which may actually mean that Kent Hovind is at least as qualified to speak as the U of T scientist, or as much as any of the Darwinian evolutionists. There is entropy in the "scholars union."

A lot of silly creo talk! LOL! Yea!!
The big KaHuna has been paged. NOW we'll get things rollin'!

You only want to believe that Katrina had no intelligent designer. Are you trying to prove that hurricanes defy the laws of thermodynamics? What do they leave in their wake? Why don't they become moons of the earth.
To: GOPPachyderm; My2Cents
Personally, I get sunburned. A few days ago, as I breathlessly opened yet another Christmas package, I read the box label as the wrapping came off in shreds; "Solar Powered Tanning Bed"
Imagine my confusion as I removed a brilliantly colored beach towel!

Not once but thirty some times in a row. Solar energy, like any other form of energy is chaos, the intersection of pure energy to create an organized system requires physical rules (gas laws, the Coriolis effect, &c.) to impose order So the argument of the article is bunk afterall. Given physical rules in place, and solar energy coming in, order can arise from disorder.
So for example, The physical rules of natural selection, replication and mutation enable evolution to work. There is nothing about the 2LOT that says it shouldn't work.
To: 4Liberty
As an atheist with no (zero) interest in religion...Ahha!
There's yer problem.
As you get older, your interest will tend to increase.
That's why I'm an atheist. I know when to say, "Gee, I don't KNOW... hmm."
Uh... this makes you an agnostic, not an atheist.

Non-sequiter. There is a systematic influnce at work in this: the differing densities of the liquids, and a gravitational field So you are saying the 2nd law of thermodynamics does not apply in the presence of other natural laws? No wonder you think it conflicts with evolution.
To: mad_as_he$$
By this guys logic should we be running out of stuff to make new people with?Well, we DO continually re-cycle the biomass.
HMmmm... I wonder where all this biomass came from to begin with?
Gravel, sand and dust don't seem to be too edible.

You only want to believe that Katrina had no intelligent designer. Are you trying to prove that hurricanes defy the laws of thermodynamics? What do they leave in their wake? Why don't they become moons of the earth. Huh? Are you saying Katrina came into existence as a result fof divine intervention? And that hurricanes need divine "help" to break up?
These are all natural and explainable phenomenon. But your post shows how dangerous and insidious ID is. If more people thought like you there would be no Meteorology.

...then we ought to expect to see hundreds of thousands of chemicals just hanging around in the body, waiting to be used when a species evolves an X-Ray eye or laser tail stinger.Amen!
There shouldn't be 'species' at all; but an amazing continum of critters and stuff.
