Glad that you have seen the light!

The clincher for me was this:

Just STOP and sit down, wherever you are and LOOK. Everywhere you look, there is order, at an almost unimaginable level. Everything in your room was placed there. Did it just appear? Did it self-organize? If someone believes in evolution, have them flip a coin 50 times for me, and see if you get 50 heads in a row. The odds of the world happening with all of its order is Many Many times that.

This would appear to be an appeal to incredulity fallacy.

If someone believes in evolution, have them flip a coin 50 times for me, and see if you get 50 heads in a row.

The theory of evolution has relevance neither to the current discussion nor to flipping a coin 50 times.

The odds of the world happening with all of its order is Many Many times that.

Please reference the calculations that you used to derive a probability greater than the probability of receiving heads on 50 coin flips.
