Need some help refuting this creation argument...
#23
RE: Need some help refuting this creation argument...
So my response is going to go something like this:

This is essentially a mathematical version of the old 'half an eye is useless' mantra. By adding in the condition that there must be 200 successive successful mutations, the numbers are stacked from the start. It ignores the gradual beneficial mutations that spread throughout a species and provide a backdrop for any further beneficial mutations. So because half an eye ISN'T useless, the numbers are BS.

And I've read a lot more about Chimp/Human ancestry, I think I've got that one nailed. I particularly like the ironic point that Chimps are actually harder to tie in through fossils than we are, so if anybody should be arguing that they're created separately and specially by God it's the Chimps.
