DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

Will you still think so when Muslims outnumber Christians globally in a few decades?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

Could be, but an ad populum argument is more likely to make me think I'm right, if I'm honest. People resort to fallacies when they don't have any sound arguments.

The proof and the evidence make me think I am right despite what the polls show.

How can you tell whether complexity is specified or not?

It displays in complex patterns which are functional.

The majority is wrong often enough that resorting to reminding your opponents whose opinion is in the majority is an indication that you lack non-fallacious arguments. I know you weren't asking me personally, but I used to be a 'big L' Libertarian, now I consider myself a 'small-c' centrist; and in the USA my politics are best represented by the Democrats. I don't consider socialism a dirty word anymore though. I still have much respect for our Constitution, our bulwark against constant attempts by fundamentalist members of the Christian majority to get their religious beliefs enshrined in our laws.

Nobody knows which religion will be the most populace in a few decades.  Only God knows that.

Christian countries seem to improve as their number of Christians goes down. In all seriousness, I think it would do American Christians a world of good to experience life as a religious minority. I don't look forward to an atheist majority in the USA, everything I've seen tells me that being a large majority is corrupting. Hopefully if that day comes, we'll treat them better than they treated everyone else when they had all the power.

I also respect our Constitution.  At least we have that in common.

For instance, a large majority is often able, with a straight face, to accuse a tiny minority of being a problem. And the next step with a problem is to 'deal with it'.

The Christian majority is not the problem.  It is secret societies, central banksters, corrupt intelligence agencies dragnet spying on everyone and harassing people,.....

It's amazing the way a character who makes a prediction early in a book can have it come true later in the same book, huh?

I agree, the majority is not always right.  Good thing we don't live in a democracy; rather, we have a true constitutional republic.
