Atheism is a religion

[Cosmic Ape]

If fact we have discovered the reason and it is a direct result of evolution.

Go back... your point was that God would never create a useless structure. Well, I showed you that it wasn't useless, or that the nerve likely has uses we haven't discovered yet. If you ever proved it was useless, and *always* was useless, that would only fall to evolution by default. You have no positive, conclusive evidence whatsoever that evolution made this nerve. Evolution is only observing what we have now and making suppositions about what could have been in the past. It has never been observed in action, or replicated in a lab. There are no transitional fossils, no giraffes in the fossil record with shorter necks or less-developed laryngeal nerves. Genes can't tell you what they used to be.

The evolution of giraffes is actually a problem for evolutionists to explain. The giraffe neck had to receive a mutation to elongate at the exact same moment the mutation to absorb the blood pressure (the “wonder net”), a stronger heart, and thicker blood vessels formed. And this had to happen dozens if not hundreds of times as the neck gradually became longer. You cannot have one without the others or the creature dies. Mutations are 99.99% harmful, if not lethal. The tendency of a species is to go extinct (we've seen 50 species go extinct in the last 100 years and not a single new species form). Although it is true that mere chance processes can produce things, it is equally true that whatever chance creates, it almost instantaneously annihilates (The Collapse of Evolution; Huse). By that same objective probability, we would have vanished years ago. Time does not help evolution--it is its destruction. Scientists try to gloss the giraffe neck over by saying one gene could have remained dormant until the cooperating gene came along. One could come slightly earlier, but why would natural selection keep around a useless organ for millions of years until its accessories evolve to make it useful? Unthinking evolutionary processes would never produce a half-formed eye as a transition to a fully functioning one. Moreover, if there were thousands of dormant mutations waiting to take form we would see them in the genetic code. Instead, there are only a couple genes scientists consider to be defunct. One would think, given our current evidence, that evolution stopped when humans arrived. All I can say is... how convenient for evolutionists. I smell fish.

I still await a refutation to the pages I posted. The six points at the bottom of http://antiochapologetics.blogspot.com/2...affes.html show the fallacy of using the laryngeal nerve as proof to begin with. It is a "seems to me" argument, rather than an objective, scientific one. Evolution is not scientific. It is a belief system, period.
