The guy is a fruitcake, and frankly I'm a little annoyed by his continued condescension to the staff bearing in mind we've been cleaning up his shit post formatting on this board everyday since he registered.
I think mick's favourite past time is to sit in front of a mirror and defeat his reflection in a game of who can posit the most fallacious ridden horseshit of an argument possible.
To this day I think his reflection has won every time.
The staff drew first blood. Not me. Don't start crying now, take it like you put it out;
no more hiding.
...what are you even talking about? 'Drew first blood'?
Nobody here has spoken to you with their modhat on except to ask you to format your posts right. You know this is true, so why are you lying here?
Your delusions are some of the biggest I've ever seen on the internet. And there's a lot of people out there who are batshit insane. Get off the meth.

That's quite an honour, to be voted more delusional than Hovind, Ham, Pendleton, Bruggencate, Comfort, NephilimFree, VenomFangX, ShockOfGod, etc.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

To be fair throwing paint on a wall would result in a more coherent argument.

Coherent meaning understandable, right? Or perhaps marshmallow.

Sigh. This is an unsupported assertion. Let me clarify: Before you can say hope is evidence of God, you have to make a case for WHY it's evidence of God. Before you can say the internal instincts of animals are unlike the hope humans have, you have to make a case for why we should believe that is true. Do you get it, yet?

Perhaps you should have Googled 'measuring hope' before making this particular unsupported assertion.

Emotions and attitudes are evidence of emotions and attitudes, not whatever happy claptrap you want to make up.

EVERYONE can see the evidence that it is there. That's one of the things that make it evidence. When only the people who believe something already can see 'evidence' and people with different beliefs see different 'evidence', that tells us something else.

As real as love, ambition, greed, and friendliness; and just as biological.

Or from a process of evolution that favors populations with strong social cooperation.

Rocks don't care, and chemicals don't care on their own, but everything we have evidence of being able to care, is composed of chemicals. The whole can be greater than the sum of its parts, and have properties none of its parts possess on their own: water molecules aren't wet, nor do they have surface tension. Molecules don't have to have hope for beings made of them to have hope.
Thanks for posting something that actually merited a response rather than a dismissal. I really appreciate it. At the least, you've shown the capability to accidentally post something thought-provoking; but I hope it's a sign of better things to come.

The sad part is that you're probably right.
The truth is absolute. Life forms are specks of specks (...) of specks of dust in the universe.

Kidneys and the human digestive system is a complex system of organs and glands that process food; extraordinary and stunning evidence of a designer. It has over 30 unique different parts in this well ordered system, ( Order is also proof of God), http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subject...digestive/.
Its rather arrogant to assume such fluid systemics arranged themselves over time; simply out of the question.
That was not such an unreasonable position before we learned how inherited variation interacts over vast time with natural selection to form these complex systems. It was still a little unreasonable, as it was substituting 'Designer' for an honest 'I don't know', but given the superficial appearance of design, it would be understandable.
150 years after learning the basics of how these systems form naturally and spontaneously, it's like still believing the sun revolves around the earth.
