I agree that very good doesnt necessarily or even deinitely mean perfect.

As I said, I find it interesting that so often the "GENESIS IS LITERAL!!!!!1" crowd kinda fudge the definition of two very basic English words when it suits.

And analogy isn't light banter, it are SERIOUS!!1

(Although, if more people realised that Gen 1 was an analogy, there wouldn't be much left to debate on the cre vs evo side

)

Oh, for crying out loud --- here we go with that PRATT again.

Look --- just for the sake of the point of my OP, let's just set this aside --- since you apparently believe God embedded Murphy's Law into His creation, and I do not.

Fair enough?

There was a point in your OP?

No, I don't think I'll set it aside; seeing as I've never heard any literalist get around that dilemma sufficiently well, so why don't you have a go. Here's a hint - calling omniscience (and to a lesser extent, determinism) "Murphy's Law" is a poor start.

You could also try answering the point about the fact that evolution doesn't necessarily necessitate death - merely efficient survival to reproduce. That doesn't need death for it to actually function.

Making a cake, atheist style:

Cheesecake
ingredients:

Code:

3 packs 8oz cream cheese, softened
4 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups sour cream
1 (or 2) pie crusts

Prepare pie crusts as per instructions on crust

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat cream cheese till light and creamy, add eggs, vanilla and sugar. beat until creamy

beat sour cream by hand, add gradually to cream cheese mixture, beat until thoroughly combined

pour filling into crust, bake 50-60 minutes, cool in pan, then refrigerate for 5 hours over night.

Wanna make it a creationist cake? Top with strawberry pie filling
Wanna make it a pagan cake? Add chocolate chunks before baking

//Cheesecake is better than real cake.
