Technically that's a 2D representation (with false depth) of a 3D projection of a Calabi-Yau manifold. Revenge of the nerd. ^^

While I generally agree with evolutionists, I have to point out that many respected scientists have effectively spent their entire lives on crusades to undermine religious views. Furthermore these respected scientists do so (mis)using the tools of the Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolutionary theory. From the point of view of a Christian, to whom the enemy is not merely flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12) - or at least from the point of view of some Christians - is it not altogether likely that the theories thus used as tools are in fact deeply flawed, and that those respected scientists are desperately hiding those flaws in order to continue their crusade?

Or think of it from their perspective: they can't believe that evolutionists think that respected scientists have spent their entire lives on a crusade to hide the "flaws" in their white hole cosmology, runaway subduction geology, and baraminology, in order to, and solely for the purpose of, promoting religious views.

There is an interesting and deep symmetry to your argument: as much as you think those people are ridiculous, they have a case to think you are ridiculous too. Let's not attack people. Let's examine the facts. That is always the way to go.
