Quote:Needing all those things is why it's irreducibly complex.Then it's not irreducably complex, even by that myopic and poorly informed definition. Photosentive cells and compounds were not and still do not need to be connected to anything even remotely resembling a cna to provide functional benefits.
Quote:You could have a photosensitive cell on your elbow right now. It wouldn't change a thing, because your brain isn't wired to process input from your elbow visually. If the evolutionary view is true we should have eyes on the back of our heads or in other places.-and yet the photosensitive cells and compounds of plants are all over their "elbows", still not connected to a brain....and still work. Whenever a nutter says "if evolutionary theory were true", what follows is invariably some example of said nutter not knowing a fucking thing about evolutionary theory.
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!
