Awww you pissed your nappies because people have the temerity to not accept your baseless and obviously untrue assertions unquestionably? Pity about you.

Evolutionary procesess selectively favor reliable brains.

I already responded to the claim in bold. Also, you cannot say for yourself that you have a super powerful and reliable brain inside your head unless an exterior being says that to you. Nobody can claim he has a good voice unless someone else hears him and confirms it. We can't say for ourselves that our brains are reliable since we have no idea what unreliable brains are like.

First of all evolutionary processes are not a claim, they are a fact. They have been observed both in laboratory settings and in the wild, and they have an overwhelming amount of evidence backing them, from fossil morphology to mitochondrial DNA, with lots in between.

Second what you are saying is not responding to what Rhythm is pointing out, as you are not providing any evidenced position in refutation of what he is saying, you are simply repeating your one unevidenced assertion viz "I have a brain, it works, therefore god!!!!!!1!1!11!!!!1!1!!!!oneoneoneELEVEN". Science doesn't work that way, science deals simply in explanations that can properly explain reality, hence the need for an evidentiary basis.

Obviously not, otherwise he wouldn't believe the words of a probably fictional child rapist.

So you call us unintelligent and yet you're so retarded that you're retarded enough to make the most retarded (and childish) theistic argument ever? i.e. Matt Slick's 'brain fizz' crap. It's a complete non-sequitur.

Where can I get one of these atheist umbrellas? I've looked on eBay and Amazon, but can't seem to find them.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You have to know the right people. I have a guy; I can hook you up. It'll cost you, but this guy's atheist umbrellas are the best. When it rains bullshit, as it is in this thread, you'll stay clean, dry, and rational.

Meet me out back in 30.

Hi banned guy. For anyone who knows me they know I have this compulsive response thing when people talk to me. So here goes my reply to you, banned guy:

Non-sequiturs don't require rebuttals. The onus is on Matt Slick to make a coherent argument worth rebutting first.

Ahhhhh my main man... don't choo worry... you're just looking too hard: All umbrellas are atheist! That's why no matter how many times they get rained on they never say "Godditit!". It's not just because they don't have mouths. It's not just because they don't have mouths. It's not. It's not. Echo, echo diddily pecko lizard gecko.
