Isn't the above a recognised form of Mental Illness??

Cosmic: the origin of time, space and matter. No
Chemical: all elements from H and He. No
Stellar: witnessed a star form. No
Organic: life from non-life. No
Macroevolution: one species becoming another. No. No transitional fossils or documentation of speciation involving increasing complexity.
Microevolution: Yes, but this is variation, not evolution. Genes don't gain any new info-- some just die off.

In short, evolution is a belief system, not science. You're welcome to believe any of these, or claim "we just haven't discovered it yet" but don't call it science. If it's not science, it's religion. This is cut and dry.

Explain to the rest of the class how the laryngeal nerve of the giraffe is a product of intelligent design and we'll go from there.

P.s you are just the latest in a loooong line of uninformed, self important ass clowns that have barged on to this forum spouting this bullshit like we haven't heard it all before.

So please don't be surprised when you are dismissed out of hand.

And this guy's name is 'Undeceived'? There goes another irony meter!

I know, and the bloody things don't come cheap either.

Fortunately here's one you can make at home

Perhaps adding a fuse that breaks if the irony reception is too great. I mean, fuses are cheaper than the whole apparatus

Well, one has to know what the fuck one is talking about...

Atheism is not a religion. The only thing going on here is a general lack of respect for ignorant fools. If you desire more respect, add sophistication to your foolishness.

A stance on whether God exists or not is not a religion. Both theism and atheism are such stances and so are not religions.

Was your xtian father down with science?

Theism and atheism are differing opinions on a single topic. They are not belief systems. They are not religions. They are states of being: thieism is the state of believing God (or gods) exists and atheism is the state of not believing God (or gods) exists. It's SO simple! Yet we go 'round and 'round on it.
