Just throwing it out there...

Macro Evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics. Nothing gets more complicated without external influences. We did not evolve from some ooze.

Micro evolution yes. Macro no. I leave it to your own belief system to determine how that happened.

lol!!!

How does a tree get all of that wood out of a tiny little acorn.

There was obviously some ooze involved in the evolution of your education!

No it doesn't.

There's a fictional, non-existent "Second Law of Thermodynamics" invented by a variety of Creationist liars that bears no resemblance to the REAL Second Law of Thermodynamics, which you may be thinking of.

Oh, puh-leaze, not another person parroting what they've read in the creationist pamphlets... No, son, sorry -- it doesn't.

Gee, really?

This became more complicated than the amorphous water vapor from which it formed, and it did so by natural processes, no "designer" had to be involved for it to crystallize, and this doesn't violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics (nor any other law of nature). Neither does evolution.

I'm sorry, your ignorant notion is mistaken.

We did not evolve from some ooze.

Then how do you explain the vast amount of evidence which indicates that we did?

Micro evolution yes. Macro no.

Okay, I'll bite -- what magic difference do you see by which "microevolution" is within the bounds of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, but "macroevolution" isn't? This should be really funny!

Also, feel free to explain how you account for the massive amount of evidence which demonstrates that "macroevolution" has indeed occurred, and that, for example, all vertebrates have evolved from a common ancestor?

I leave it to your own belief system to determine how that happened.

I'd rather rely on looking at reality to see what it tells us, and it tells us that modern life arose via common descent.

Guess what! There ARE external influences on species!
One of them is an enormous nuclear generator in the sky.
