'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

LOL, I was tempted to explain that as well...it's a compulsion. Then I remembered that it doesn't matter, because our audience has trouble with anything even slightly more complicated than crayons.

A product of life's billion year arms race. Since we aren't talking about modern cells, I don't see the relevance. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, as you have some practice with seeing things that aren't there.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because they want to believe that chance couldn't produce such a magnificent thing such as the human experience and more so because life seems utterly vain if it is not progressing towards some goal in which their individual actions possess definite value for the distant future.

Even believing in some type of deity would still raise some questions. As you know why did he create us and why did he create us flawed. I still like were a alive due to chance then rather believe in a lie.

*In my best "sophisticated theologian's voice"*

"Yes, yes, young dyresand, but I must be getting back to my studies now, in fact, this remarkable saint I hold in my hand wrote all about God's mysterious ways and he said quite adamantly that we must not question God's purposes. His ways are beyond our understanding. Anyway, that is all the time I have today. Please, let's do this again sometime."

You just love you some arguments from ignorance, don't you Snowy? Dodgy

Even if we had no answer to this, how does that mean god did it?
