No, I do not remember wrong. I was taught that in my science class that we evolved from gases. That was several years ago, but that was being taught at the time. If you don't believe in mathematical probabilities, then I would say you are not much of a scientist (or that is another flaw in science). If the probability of something is basically impossible, then most likely you have a flawed theory. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Evolution is science's best guess at how things are created, but it is still just a guess. Don't make it out to be more than it is. The fact that people put so much faith in a guess is getting awfully close to a religion IMO.

Your teacher was an IDIOT (likely a creationist). That has never been a part of evolutionary theory.

I guess you are'nt hear. You are very improbable (basically impossible, though that phrase means nothing).

I do believe in probabilties as a tool. But only valid ones. To construct a probablity you need to understand what you are modeling. Just making up probabities about a process that is not understood means NOTHING. Anybody who would hang an arguement on such sophistry is no scientist.

Evolution is a theory. As such it can be proven false (just find REAL human footprints next to a dinosaurs) and is well supported by the fossil record, DNA studies etc etc.

ID is a not even a valid hypothisis. How would you disprove it?

Nonsense. What gases were they?

Can you recall the evolutionary mechanism that involved gases?

I've never heard of such a thing and can't imagine how it would word.

Did a pre-ape inhale some kind of change-gas or what?
