Just as I expected. Have we had any predictions on how many pages before this ends?

Well the identical topic got almost 1400 pages. Maybe Yukon could visit it

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

NO straw man whatsoever. Mutations are TOTALLY random. Do you understand Darwinism don’t you?
Mutations are constrained by chemistry, they can't be just anything and therefore can't be TOTALLY random. And natural selection is a de-randomizing process. In fact, when environmental conditions are stable, it is most likely to preserve the status quo, delaying or preventing speciation (though genetic drift would still be in play). I have a good layman's understanding of the modern synthesis of the theory of biological evolution and some familiarity with the ideas of the extended synthesis; and I've read a couple of Darwin's books so I believe that I have a good grasp of his initial proposals on the matter.

And prepare yourself for his whinging and playground taunts .Honestly don't take him seriously .His "calling out" is just butthurt creationist bawling.
I suppose it would have been quite a coincidence if I had guessed right since I haven't seen the video. What was the one you were referring to?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
