Hey why don't you re-read his original post:

I would like a proper answer and if your (sp) not willing to give me one, don't bother posting.

FYI I'll post back with my answer, later.

Just because people won't entertain your bullshit doesn't make them bias nor does it mean they don't have an "honest heart."
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

Biochemical Information Systems: Information comes from intelligence. At its essence, the cell’s biochemical systems are information-based. The presence of information in the cell, therefore, must emanate from an intelligent Designer.
Structure of Biochemical Information: The evidence for intelligent design goes beyond the mere existence of information-based biochemical systems. Biochemical information displays provocative structural features like language structure and the organization and regulation of genes. These also point to the work of a Creator.

Biochemical Codes: These systems employ encoded information such as the genetic code, histone code, and the even parity code of DNA. This type of information requires an intelligent Agent to design the code.

Genetic Code Fine-Tuning: The rules that comprise the genetic code are better designed than any conceivable alternative code to resist errors that occur as the genetic code translates stored information into functional information. This fine-tuning strongly indicates that a superior Intelligence designed the genetic code.

Is that better? Smile

Bionics simply copies things from nature........................

Natural behaviors stored within the brain stem (such as instincts) of all species are behaviors requried through adapting towards the circumstances given through the surroundings it lives in.

Basic behavioral science is to make sence of observed bahavior by figuring out what use it has\why it adapted through evolution.

No. It's not.

That's just the fallacy in 158 words.

You know, I was going to protest that you didn't even bother to write a single line to reply to me, but after this post of yours, I don't care.
You are a "banana man", and, as such, you're not worth any more of my time. There's just so much wrong in this post that I can't even begin to form a reply.... I feel like I have to go back to the first basics, like teaching you to read.... and that's not why I'm here. cya!
