“For me, I see that sort of thing as a a good justification for the use of the abuse button.”
Juvenile arrogance is not uncommon amongst educated non-believers.
But I do find it somewhat uniquely comical that one would choose to display the horrid results of mutation in an attempt to convince others that the gods of Time and Chance routinely use it to produce an increasingly intricate and advanced biologic unit.
And to show such ignorance of God’s word by assuming that somewhere in it we are promised a perfect life is telling. It is understandable that biologists defend their work and even their believed (though unproven) theories on how meaningless and lifeless matter became us.
But criticism of opposing opinion is not made more valid by displaying a severe misunderstanding of it. That goes for ToE believers as well as the rest of us.
Interesting that they should use something like that as justification to reject intelligent design or creationism, but when it comes to evolution, yawn...... well, things like that happen, it’s just survival of the fittest.
What's the alternative to chance and selection?
If ID is ever taught in school it will feature the ideas and writing of Michael Behe, since he wrote the technical chapters in the ID textbooks. When asked to list some "intricate and advanced biologic units" that could not have evolved through Darwinian processes, he cites the maria parasite and the bacterium responsible for dysentery. Here's what Behe says in his latest book, The Edge of Evolution.
"Malaria was intentionally designed. The molecular machinery with which the parasite invades red blood cells is an exquisitely purposeful arrangement of parts. (...) What sort of designer is that? What sort of "fine-tuning" leads to untold human misery? To countless mothers mourning countless children? Did a hateful, malign being make intelligent life in order to torture it? One who relishes cries of pain? Maybe. Maybe not." (p.237)
