I guess I'm way past due in creating my own challenge thread, so here it is.

What is this a picture of ?

I'll start with few dots (data points) 1/1024 of the original.
10.jpg

Let's add some more.
8.jpg

And some more. Any ideas yet?
6.jpg

Maybe 1/16 is enough.
4.jpg

One more hint.

3.jpg

Finally!

0.jpg

For completeness, and more hints if anyone really needs them, 1/4 and 1/2.

Well, does connect the dots work or not?

It's a challenge about your persistence on referring to the theory of evolution as a game of 'connect the dots'.
Yes, I know what it is.

But he's demonstrating creatio ex nihilo, not evolution.

No he's not. If you look in the first image more closely, you will see that there are dots already present.

Ah! I see it now.

I had to tilt my screen back a little.

Creatio ex materia: that's more like it.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

No, that's not it eithe- oh why do I bother? It's like talking to a brick wall.

ETA: At least evolution has more evidence supporting it that your claim from the Bible.

... Oh, I so want to make a joke but if I did, I'd have a moderator all over me quicker than flies on manure on a hot day.
Is this a subtle reference to what "atheist" anagrams to?

You have never done so. But you have repeatedly criticized evolution by calling it 'a game of connect the dots'.
Yesindeedydo.

And I'll continue to do so.

If you ever see evolution trees, they literally ... literally ... draw lines between existing dots.

They don't even name all the dots, they just put them there and draw lines between them.

That's why I'm fond of saying: "Only on paper."

But how exactly is that a bad thing? Your own Bible does the same thing with its genealogies.
