Evolution and the myth of "scientific consensus"

[Loudmouth]

Do you still not understand that you are not comprehending the difference between duckies in clouds and biological systems?

Are you not comprehending the similarity between duckies in clouds and the appearance of design in biological systems?

 

[HitchSlap]

Then you do see design in life forms yet you said you didn't.

Sometimes things are not as they appear, and you can't unring that bell. I don't believe in design.

If you don't see design how is it an illusion?

If you don't see design how is it an illusion?

Have you learned about "the birds and the bees"? Do you know where babies come from? Do you know where their DNA comes from? Have you heard of these things called mutations?

Do you know that your parents didn't create you?

And mutations are those thingies which randomly created tactile sensory units?

Where were you before you were born?

Are you not comprehending the similarity between duckies in clouds and the appearance of design in biological systems?

A duckie in a cloud isn't comparable to bacterial flagellum. A duckie in a cloud is here this minute and gone the next, but bacterial flagellum keeps fullfilling it's designed purpose year after year after year after year as a complex, functional and properly designed machine should do.

 

[justlookinla]

Where were you before you were born?

You really don't know how you were created, do you? It wasn't randomly.

 

[HitchSlap]

You really don't know how you were created, do you? It wasn't randomly.

Where were you before you were conceived?

 

[justlookinla]

Where were you before you were conceived?

What created you and how?

 

[HitchSlap]

A duckie in a cloud isn't comparable to bacterial flagellum. A duckie in a cloud is here this minute and gone the next, but bacterial flagellum keeps fullfilling it's designed purpose year after year after year after year as a complex, functional and properly designed machine should do.

Are seriously implying that clouds are not complex? I think a few meteorologists might take exception with this.

 

[HitchSlap]

What created you and how?

Indeed.

 

[justlookinla]

Indeed.

All them illusions and all.

Are seriously implying that clouds are not complex? I think a few meteorologists might take exception with this.

I'm not implying, I'm making a specific point.....a duckie in a cloud isn't the same as a bacterial flagellum machine which helps keep you alive year after year after year.

 

[HitchSlap]

All them illusions and all.

It's tough to tell sometimes, huh?

 

[HitchSlap]

I'm not implying, I'm making a specific point.....a duckie in a cloud isn't the same as a bacterial flagellum machine which helps keep you alive year after year after year.

And clouds don't help keep you alive? Really? I think you put too much import on the little guys. I'm taking the clouds.

An illusion of what?

 

[justlookinla]

It's tough to tell sometimes, huh?

Especially with the empty claim that design in life is an illusion.

Duckies in clouds keep you alive?
