Your generosity sounds a lot like doublespeak. But I've been told to be charitable when there's a disconnect between your words and your meaning.

Which would you prefer? The interpretation in which you're incompetent, or the one in which you're wrong?

The interpretation in which you say its been falsified because you believe it's been falsified. Obviously.

Religious people should be aware that Intelligent design does a terrible disservice to God since, for starters, this designer was pleased to design only microorganisms for nearly 2 billion years of Earth's history. Even in the Cambrian, he was not yet interested in designing a vertebrate.
Then Intelligent design casts him as a magician who periodically creates and destroys creatures, habitats, and ecosystems millions of times over, throughout the geologic ages, with the sole purpose of producing the human species.
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"

How about speaking for yourself? For a change.
You spew quotes from others and remind us frequently that you study psychology, which is frightening, by the way.
You rely on the words of others and you really never say anything. Since I have been active on this forum you have talked in circles and seldom come out with a direct answer of your own. It appears that you talk just to hear yourself talk. Luckily that means one person is impressed by you.

Psychology isn't frightening. That Breezy seems to be headed in that direction for a career is.

Here's a video refuting the claim of irreducible complexity in machines that if you take one piece out of the machine it stops being functional
