Evolution’s basic premise is that all “life” on the planet miraculously “emerged” through a bunch of accidents. Current evolution teaches that “natural selection” is how we continue to “evolve.”
Unfortunately for evolutionists their recent beliefs have been challenged on interesting grounds. A new theory has come about to challenge the blind faith orthodoxy of the evolutionists, that theory is intelligent design.
Think of it like this, evolution believe that if you have a deck of 52 cards and two jokers, and then shuffle the deck thoroughly, and throw the entire deck up in the air as high as you can, that eventually all of the cards will land, in perfect order, and perfectly aligned. The probability of this even happening one time in a billion years approaches zero. Then, to believe evolutionary "theory," you have to accept on blind faith that this same miracle of perfect order from total chaos has repeated itself millions of times to account for each of the plants, animals, and life on earth. We'll leave it there for now. It gets a WHOLE LOT MORE COMPLICATED for the evolutionary cult. On the other hand, intelligent design says that after the evolutionist throws the cards up in the air and makes a mess, the intelligent designer comes along and carefully picks up each card and stacks them all up together, in sequence, and properly aligned.
Stepping back from evolution long enough to use critical thinking skills not taught much in public education these days, it becomes quickly apparent that evolution is nothing but a silly religious belief – a type of “secular fundamentalism” – demanding cult-like superstitious faith in the impossible. If I have your attention, let’s take a careful look at what evolution requires us to accept on complete blind faith:
These are just a few of the major problems for the cult of evolution. They are certainly not the least of the problems. For example, under the “accidents” of evolution, where do emotions come from? Where does instinct come from? Why do humans have the ability to reason and understand right from wrong? And the list goes on. None of these innate characteristics can be explained by evolution.
Evolution is not science, because it can not be tested, verified, and there are no “false results.” The only “false result” to evolution is Intelligent Design (ID) because the theory of ID proves that evolution is false and therefore evolution adherents attack ID proposals with zealous fundamentalism.
Has anyone ever seen how zealously these evolutionary “secular fundamentalists” irrationally attack competing theories without answering the underlying problems with their beliefs?
Evolutionists routinely dodge issues like the origins of the universe because they know that if you stop and think hard about these issues, evolution falls apart as nothing but a widely held religious belief. If you can't explain where the raw material for the inputs to the "evolutionary process" come from, then you have no process. If you can't tell me how life started, and where its components came from, what the specific components were, what specific “accident” created “life,” then you have no process, only religious belief.
When you refuse to evaluate the inputs to a process, you have an incomplete process, it is unverifiable, and therefore un-provable, un-knowable, and an un-testable theory from a scientific perspective. You MUST at that point insert your suppositions and BELIEFS (i.e. secular fundamentalist religious beliefs) into the process. This is where it is no longer science, but superstition and blind religious faith.
It is understandable evolutionists would avoid many of these difficult questions because it exposes the preposterous "blind faith" required to accept evolution.
The cult of evolution is the opiate for the atheists.
Evolution is an atheist’s way to excuse their denial and rejection of god, it is their religion. To the degree that evolutionists dodge the difficult questions, like the origins of life's raw materials, how the five senses came about (how did one-celled organisms get the "idea" that “senses” were even needed?), how or why or where emotions come from, or a whole host of other questions, proves that it is not science, but secular fundamentalism. To the extent that evolutionists challenge competing theories such as Intelligent Design rather than answering the difficult questions or admitting that their “theory” has holes, it is not a scientific theory subject to the scientific process, but a cult based on zealous secular fundamentalism.
And on one hand, evolutionists expect you to believe that through a bunch of "accidents" life happened and "evolved" and then later, just the OPPOSITE takes place in the form of "natural selection." In other words, the "accidents" of life lead to deliberate selection. Under "natural selection" the "great god of evolution" decides who is the strongest and smartest and everyone else must be subjected to the superior race. Sounds a lot like what Hitler's National SOCIALISTS believed to me.
No amount of proving atheism, er, I mean evolution wrong will ever satisfy the secular fundamentalist religious cult of evolution. Even when those who support the theory of Intelligent Design are willing to engage in a dialog on the issue, the secular fundamentalists come out of the woodwork and shriek from the high heavens about how they refuse to prove one iota of their religious philosophy, but demand that ANYTHING that dares challenge their orthodoxy must be proven beyond any doubt. This is the essence of religious zealotry and blind religious fundamentalism--, it is the opiate of the atheists...
If those who adhere to evolution are genuinely interested in science, then they must evaluate the whole process, and if the inputs to that process, or many of its components such as the senses or emotions do not support the process then they must reject that theory (evolution) as unworkable. To do anything less is no longer science. But then again, evolutionists are not really interested in science.
Call me weak minded but I just don't have the blind, zealous, fundamentalist faith to believe that nothing created everything (the "Big Bang") and that life just spontaneously erupted from rocks, water, and a few base chemicals (evolution) through a bunch of "weird science" accidents. Step back, stop and actually THINK about the leaps of un-provable, totally blind-faith that evolution requires and unless you're one of its religious zealots, you too will reach the conclusion that evolution is a FRAUD!
Evolution, the opiate for atheists and the biggest hoax and fraud ever perpetrated on the Western World in History...

How high is the wall? Is it really a brick wall or is it made of stone? Plaster? Can I put my arm through it do you suppose?
Sorry, no cigar. Nothing occured here that was outside of intelligent design. An intelligence created a piece of software. An intelligence set a goal. An intelligence determined how to differentiate results that moved closer to the goal, from results that did not. An intelligence invented the algorithyms necessary to achieve the desired results. An intelligence created the hardware that was necessary to make use of the intelligently designed software.
Nothing occured by chance. An intelligence direct the outcome of every random result. The result was either accepted or rejected according to the rules that the CREATOR DESIGNED! The outcome would have been EXACTLY the same if the designer manually acted on each result in the fashion in which his software was designed to react. The fact that his machine did it at great speed, and he didn't follow the steps, doesn't mean that the whole process was not conceived and directed by intelligent design. Try again :-)
One time, many thought that flies were spontaneously generated by spoiled meat. No just a few dumb evos think that :-)
" Nothing occured by chance. An intelligence direct the outcome of every random result. "
Um, you DO know what random means, rght?
Intuitively, I agree with you.
The issue is, Science class?
No.
A leap of faith is required to conclude "designer".
No leaps of faith for scientific theory.
And, if existance were not complex at all, if we were all gabby little water vapors, would we not still have the same
confounding questions?
Faith and science don't mix.
Well done. They really hit all the buzzwords and catch phrases!
And the big problem with that, is that current cosmology and physics doesn't provide you with an infinite combination of matter, nor an indefinite period of time.
SCIENCE clung long and hard to the indefinite period of time (infinitely old universe). Such a universe is virtually required for evolution to have any hope what-so-ever of having occured. But, alas, taint so :-)
" One time, many thought that flies were spontaneously generated by spoiled meat. No just a few dumb evos think that :-)"
Name one. Another creationist lie. *Liars for the Lord*
Do you think lying will give you a better place i heaven?
It would be even more puzzling - how did the water vapors get so gabby?
Can't you recognize mocking when you see it. That was an answer to the doofus who said that some creationists think angels keep airplanes aloft.

I posted a few things here in the last 10 minutes; what are you talking about?
No, but I did sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night :-) Actually I think I understand random, as well as the meaning of "is".
Nothing occured by chance. There was no evolutionary process. A machine was programed to produce results. An intelligence determined whether they were good or bad BEFORE THEY EVER OCCURED. The programmer would have achieved the EXACT same result if he had stepped through his program for a sufficiently long time. Nothing evolved. The program produced the desired results, exactly as it was designed to do.
Who made the "intelligence"???
Most excellent!
"ctually I think I understand random, as well as the meaning of "is"."
Your post says otherwise.
Some do. They always rely on faith when they can't understand science.

Errr...perhaps wet dreams?
I agree with you in the sense that there is no apparent mechanism in water to facilitate conversation.
So it would likely be...
How we doin this?
I don't know.
Me neither.
God must've did it.
Yeah.
...
Wanna go see a ballgame?
Show us anywhere at all that creationists are claiming this.
