A Challenge for the Atheist

If it takes an intelligent being to produce an encyclopedia, then would it not also take an intelligent being to produce the equivalent of 1000 sets of an encyclopedia full of information in the first one-celled animal? (Even atheists such as Richard Dawkins acknowledges that “amoebas have as much information in their DNA as 1000 Encyclopaedia Britannicas.” Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker (New York: WW. Norton and Co., 1996), 116.)

I suggest you actually read The Blind Watchmaker so that you might understand what information is and the context of that quote.
Quote mining is so dishonest.

Now piss off.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
