Gotta love these threads, most of whose replies are ad hominems or Casey Stengelese non sequiturs.

And let's give it up for Casey Stengel, Patron Saint of evolution threads:

Eminently reasonable. People just know, intrinsically, that we are not here by accident. Evolutionists' claims that evolution is more than "chance" or "accident" ring hollow. What they believe is that it IS just by chance. They say all there is are the molecules, and we know it's not true. Even with all the best selling books saying that believers in God are nutcases, we'd be crazy to give up our faith just to please them. Hey, here's a good quote from American Spectator a few months back:
Among certain sectors of the media, for example, it is an article of faith that those who believe in God, or advocate principles supporting that belief, are just a mob of Bible-thumping, knuckle-dragging, Scripture-spouting, hellfire and brimstone-preaching, rightwing, gun-toting, bigoted, homophobic, moralistic, paternalistic, polyester-wearing, mascara-smeared, false-eyelashed, SUV-driving, Wal-Mart shopping, big hair, big gut, fat butt, holy-rolling, snake-handling, Limbaugh-listening, Bambi-shooting, trailer-park-dwelling, uneducated, ignorant, backwater, hayseed, hick, inbred, pinhead rubes, mostly from the South, or places no better than the South, who voted for Bush.

So, try this one ~ life is exceedingly complex. It is also exceedingly ancient. In fact, it is so complex and so ancient that it has developed or had developed for it variations that allow life to undertake to exist, even thrive, in every environment possible.
That is to say, life is hardly the delicate flower early Evolutionists imagined it to be.
Of all the possible Universes, there are none where life cannot manage to find sustenance ~ and it's just a matter of time where even the worst of all possible states of existence will see life move in and do its thing.
I think you get down to the question of which came first ~ God or life.

I love it -- the best and longest string of adjectives, hypenated or otherwise, I've seen in one sentence.

And you typed/spelled all the adjectives correctly, too, unlike this poster: hypenated = hyphenated.

I like hypenated, it is descriptive and funny at the same time. You should copyright it.

Just visting half a dozen Wal-Marts in Southern Indiana (to see what all the fuss was about) we found 5 different fake deer for use in stake-outs.
Bambi doesn't have a chance.

"Evolutionists' claims that evolution is more than "chance" or "accident" ring hollow. What they believe is that it IS just by chance."
Stochastic does not mean random.
"They say all there is are the molecules, and we know it's not true."
Sure; we know that there are ions as well. I think you mean that scientists deal only with natural phenomena. That is true, as any other kind is beyond scientific inquiry.
"Even with all the best selling books saying that believers in God are nutcases..."
Citations please.
"Among certain sectors of the media, for example, it is an article of faith that those who believe in God..."
As most people in the USA who accept evolution are also Christian, what is your point?
