I have not been evasive at all, I have answered all of your questions, and repeatedly answered them. I do apologise for not having the time to explain all of the observations of nature that lead me to believe in a designed universe.
I think tavarish, as many others, wants to keep the information here (because we secretly want every possible argument on atheism vs. theism here so we don't have to go anywhere else). Perhaps, DNA would be a good example of something you believe is too complicated to have come into existence via natural causes? You guys are both being 'circular' in the sense that tavarish has been asking you for examples and you keep asking him to Google: "Dude!" "Sweet!" "Dude!" "Sweet!" (reference to Dude Where's My Car [film])

However, if one defines 'painting' differently than they define 'laptop', then the painting is not necessarily also a laptop... and perhaps the definitions are exclusive of each other.
Darn these annoying semantics... how can I know that the word I use for 'chocolate' is not the same word that you use for 'orangutang'... so that when I ask you, "Would you like some chocolate?": you interpret it as, "Would you like some orangutang?"
I bet you three tigers in a post that Adrian and most people know that words are words. words are words: (i better try explaining myself before someone accuses me of trolling) doesn't everyone know that we could have called horses 'cows' and cows 'monkeys' and we can right now but that would only be confusing and unnecessary?
