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"

So just more credulity and assertions and imagination only refers to your mental inflexibility (because can't think of how it happened it didn't) that's an illogical way of thinking

Your lack of factual responses shows you have no arguments. You didn't have any to begin with, and you know it. You are a troll

My, that person or thing you call 'Natural Selection' must be pretty damned smart to compare and analyze all such processes in so many organisms!
All Praise 'Natural' Selection- the God of Atheists!
It's pretty dumb actually, that's why it takes thousands of generations to get just a slightly different species. It doesn't compare or analyze anything, it's no smarter than a sieve.
Atheists don't have a God or god by definition; and you're not doing a very good impression of not being a troll.

So your argument is that you don't understand therefore god.
Other people do understand how this happened sans god and can explain it too you. Although I expect it would be a waste of time in your case.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

It's not just the complexity but how they are ORGANIZED.
No random order resulting in little.

But, I know- it's just a Wonderful Accident to you.... Then your god prefers squid above people. After all, he gave squid a better designed eye than the human eye. Clearly your god favours calamari.
Your god appears to be Cthulhu.

This thread probably isn't the best demonstration of a human brain being organized.
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!

Perhaps, but then squid and octopii can control their own evolution via editing their RNA.
Cephalopods adapt to changing water temperatures by altering their RNA more often than their DNA

That's a fascinating perspective. How do you explain the garbled mess that is neuroanatomy? There's so much in the human brain that's either redundant, dysfunctional, or implemented in such horrible ways that would make any sane designer run shrieking into the night. You can extend that statement to anatomy in general and to the genetic code. Even a cursory examination of any of these reveal systems that look like an assemblage of bad accidents. They're incredibly organic.
BTW, your arguments from "I don't believe science thus God" aren't impressing anybody. They make you look more than a bit clueless.

Of course good luck getting them to answer what would count as non designed .
