Mother of doG, why was this thread resurrected?
Well it does give me a chance to post this nifty JPG.
Hmm, looking at the recent spate of resurrected threads I'm seeing some familiar names on the side of Evolution and or Atheism... but a very different set of Creationists.And a fine one it is, but considering what utter gibberish the OP was, do we really want to give our current crop of creationists a chance to add to the carnage?
I think we can use "-50" for my net loss of IQ after reading the OP.
You are using the evolutionary presumption of "10," to vacillate your mediation. If -50 is your "10" then you say it is because 10 divides into 2 by 5. The question then becomes where did "10" come from. If you cannot answer (or understand my nonsense) then evolution is a lie and we don't come from monkeys.
For over a century now, we have still not heard from the evolutionist the reason for the existence of '10'. In the absence of such explanation, all he is doing is working within the confines of a superset called "purpose" of which he is unaware. Accordingly, his argument is nothing more than a living corollary. It is redundant from the very start.
So now you need to tell us why '5' is desireable because it divides into '10' exactly twice, when perhaps '7' is desirebale because it divides into '21' three times.
But rather, there is a 10: your unwitting absoute in your declaration of the 'upward' movement from less complex to more complex. Your '10' is manfested in your intuition of direction, and of what you think makes sense in that direction.
The success of anything, in a world without omniscient force of purpose, is no better than its failure. Your inclination to think otherwise, attests to your '10'.
All they need to tell us now is where they got their '10' come from.
(Just to help them who have trouble with abstracts, along, we will remind them that '10' is found in their intuition, and in their perception. It forms the basis for their complaints against wasteful governments; it tells them when to cut the grass; it gives them warm fuzzy feelings when they talk of world-peace; it forms the foundational philosophical premise for their bizarre school of thought called "evolution".)
'10' is not some purpose not yet understood or known: if it were, I would not have mentioned it, nor mentioned that '5' was needed because it divides exactly twice into it.
'10' is a perceived usefulness now: a self-substantiveness.
If extinction is possible for one, then it is possible for all. If all is extinct, then evolution has nothing to differentiate, and has itself therefore expired.
If your beliefs are correct, you should be able to articulate them without any resort whatsoever to words that are inextricably linked to cognition.
Your understanding is simply a tautology: you claim that what exists, does so because there was a benefit in existing. Your 10 is the benefit of existing, itself inseparable from the utility of what exists.
If it does not exist, then what is it within your psyche that motivates you to prove it does not exist?
You militate against yourself here: your perception of evolution is necessarily defined from the perspective of utility, and ultimate utility at that.To delete such from your cognitive repertoire, leaves you without any impetus or relativity to spark of your idea in the first place.
Your anchoring point, ('10'), is by definition that which has sparked off the need within you to create your theory.

GO INTELLIGENT MATHEMATICS!!!
There are so many missing links between 2 and 10 that it's not even funny. The supposed "links"- 3 and 5, are not proof of anything. They are proof of micro-growth, not proof that 2 came from rocks and that 10 came from monkeys.
Evolution=Refuted. LAWL.
How the heck did you gain 50 IQ points?
With logic like this (the OP) it is easy to see why the creationist movement is still around.
No matter what evidence is presented, they either cannot comprehend it or deliberately ignore it.
Funny though, how atheists are willing to answer even the most stupid of questions, when our questions to creationists go unanaswered.......

In these threads, the closest I got to a rational discussion with a creationist was to get Poe'd.
