“Yeah, that’ll help this country compete worldwide. What a joke!”

I bet the Darwinian-urge to non-sequtier is more damaging to the economy than believing in the bible.

I’m a computer programmer... can you please tell me how my view of life’s origins contributes to my computing skills?

In fact , because I’m a programmer and I know if i type one single character wrong, my software won’t function... yet i’m expected to believe that something as complicated as the biochemical software that is DNA sprang up spontaneously from nowhere.. that is like asking for something like Windows Vista to have naturally evolved.

What’s more complicated.. DNA or Microsoft code?

"What’s more complicated.. DNA or Microsoft code?"

I think the more important question is which contains more junk left over from previous versions, and that is a close call.

You better stick with computer programming.

The theory of evolution has nothing to do with life's origins, only how genomes have changed since life began.

Sorry, I had to get the joke in first :)

"I’m a computer programmer... can you please tell me how my view of life’s origins contributes to my computing skills?"

First, the origin of life is not the ToE. Second. I'm also a computer programmer and due to the nature of some of my past projects (bioinfomatics) an understanding of the ToE was critical. So it depends on what you do specifically.

"In fact , because I’m a programmer and I know if i type one single character wrong, my software won’t function."

Would that be the case if you wrote in a language that only had 4 characters and 64 words all of which only contained 3 letters? Almost any error you could make would end up producing a valid word.

"yet i’m expected to believe that something as complicated as the biochemical software that is DNA sprang up spontaneously from nowhere"

Nobody says spontaneously, it "sprang up" from previous versions of similar "software". WARNING: we am in danger of using a poor analogy to the point of just being wrong.

Which crashes more frequently?

“...I know if i (sic) type one single character wrong...”

LOL
