I provided evidence in my post, where I stated that “I defend this assertion by saying that the universe is too complex to simply be by itself. It needs support, and that support can be found on the back of a turtle.”

my reply:

And what does complexity have to do with the back of a turtle? Please explain that to me.

I think what you are demonstrating here is your own lack of understanding of the concept of “evidence.” Check back when you learn what it means.

By the way, forensic *scientists* routinely check for evidence to determine, for example, whether a death was “intelligently designed” or was an accident. And what is their field of study called? Forensic *science*. Get it?

And trust me: it has nothing with turtles. Well, maybe in some bizzare case ...

It's obvious. Anyone with basic high school science (university science not necessary but recommended) can see it. The universe is so complex. Thus, I propose that the back of a turtle serves as a physical support to house the immense complexity of our universe.

If you think that's poor evidence, which it is, how is that any different from the evidence cited by intelligent design advocates?

I made sure to use similar wording (i.e. "it's obvious" and "it's too complex.")
