However let's say for the sake of argument Evolution is wrong. You still would have to prove the existence of a higher power. The fact that blood clotting is a complicated process does nothing to point to the idea of an uncaused, intelligent, etc designer. Looking at something and saying "That looks designed" is no more relevant than me saying "That looks like superman puked that up". Before any kind of evidence is introduced our claims have just as much backing them up.
I don't really get how people think disproving/arguing evolution proves God in the slightest. Here are two statements to illustrate the point:
The earth is a triangle
The earth is a square
Well the triangle person could say to the one who said its a square "AHA it is not a square therefore it is a triangle" and vice versa. The problem is it is neither a triangle or a square. They are both wrong and one being wrong does not make it more likely that the other is right. Your claims must be validated based on their own merit. If you want to try and prove the existence of God dealing with evolution is quite frankly a waste of your time. It is completely irrelevant to the idea of God existing or not existing. Unless of course you take the first two chapters of Genesis literally then it could be a HUGE issue.
I do apologize for wasting my time. Thanks for posting. Are laws of logic universal, immaterial and unchanging? So is the God of scripture. Without him they do not exist. W/o the God of the bible how do you account for them???
James Holmes acted consistent with what evolution teaches. He evolved from an animal, and when he murdered those people, He acted like one. You can't say he's wrong since evolution made him that way.
