Nevertheless: functional coherence makes accidental invention fantastically improbable and therefore physically impossible. Douglas Axe 2016Wow. Is this intended to be a parody of bad creationist arguments?
But: functional coherence is easy to generate through natural selection. Stephen Schaffner 2017Nevertheless: functional coherence makes accidental invention fantastically improbable and therefore physically impossible. Douglas Axe 2016

Just a head's up here: the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not make evolution impossible. If it did, it would also make babies, waterfalls and hurricanes impossible. Anyone who tells you that it does, knows too little about physics to be worth listening to on the subject.
Numbers don't lie, but people lie with numbers all the time. That video is lying with numbers. It calculates the probability of all the proteins in a modern organism spontaneously assembling themselves entirely at random. Well, yeah, that probability is really, really small -- which is probably why no scientist proposes that anything of the sort really happened. The actual probability of life arising spontaneously is something we simply cannot calculate today: humans just don't know enough about chemistry to figure out whether it's possible or not.The numbers do though, and numbers don't lie, you just don't understand science ..

(As for understanding science, my scientific credentials are a heck of a lot better than the guys making these videos.)
Do you have a substantive argument to make, or is being insulting your only tool for persuading other Christians of the truth of your position?
Get your money back if that's all you got ..

I am serious too. The video is lying. I'm not sure what dealing with God has to do with that fact. Do you think I'd be more godly if I ignored the falsehoods? Take a really simple one: the claim that any probability less than 1/10^50 is so small that an event with that probability will never occur. If you pick up a deck of 52 cards and shuffle it, the probability that you'll get any particular arrangement of cards is well over a quadrillion times smaller than that number -- and yet such an event happens every time you shuffle a deck.I am serious . Deal with the video and God
