“The Problem of Evil” in atheism and in Islam

Once a journalist asked him,

“Can you give an example of a genetic mutation or an evolutionary process which can be seen to increase the information in the genome?”

That question caused a total blackout in Dawkins’ mind, he was unspeakable for about 30 seconds of the recorded time, and he was forced to request the operator to stop recording. After a while, he came up with a mumbo jumbo that signified nothing.

You are most welcome if you wish to answer the same question.

This event is well known and took place over 17 years ago. The pause was 11 seconds and was due to the fact that Dawkins had realized that he had been duped into having creationists enter his home.

Not that you actually care, but here is a link to the tale of the episode and a definitive answer to the question.

You presenting this as an argument illuminates perfectly the depths of your gullibility.
