Obviously you either did not read my post, or you did not understand it. I will make it moer simple for you. Defining "reputable" as someone who agrees with you, and then using that to make a point is invalid logic. To prove this point, I played this game back on you. You caught the bad logic when I did it, however you fail to catch it when you guys do it....not surprising but rather sad.

You obviously have never met my mother-in-law.

I wouldn't have the patience to acknowledge his posts. Indefatigable ignorance can't be enlightened.

The Colossus machines were electronic computing devices used by British codebreakers to help read encrypted German messages during World War II. These were the world's first programmable, digital, electronic, computing devices. They used vacuum tubes (thermionic valves) to perform the calculations. I would argue that Charles Babbage's Difference engine precedes that by far. You haven't lived if you haven't seen this awesome machine in operation.

I did know about that machine, but at the time it was a dead end.
Colossus however led direct;ly to the computers we see today.

I see an atempt to 'shoehorn in' intelligent design into this as a counter argument to evolution.
I'm tempted not to rise to the bait, but here goes anyway.
That mens designs and creations change over time is down to scientific improvements and market forces. Two very well understood concepts.
Plants,animals and fungus change overtime due to the very well understood concept of evolution.
What is needed to drive change is a mechanism and in both cases mechanisms exist.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Yes, we do use a lot of big words. I have tried my best to dumb things down for you but apparently it has not worked. If you are still confused and find my arguments "impossible" to understand then you can always ask for clarification and I will explain things to you. Does that help?

Here's a big word for you:
Oxymoron = creation science
Good day
