How did you manage that? 93% of the world got it before you did! Oh well, you had your fun being an atheist.
Appealing to 93 % of the world (*as if* they all bought into the same god) being believers as some sort of argument for the gods IS the "ad populum" fallacy. Doh.
99 % once thought the world was flat.
Oh well, you had your fun being a theist.

Are you like 2 years old ?
Can we start with the millions of babies who die of cancer, starvation, thirst and disease ? That *awesome* design ? LMAO
If you have proof of anything, then you need no faith. Apparently you are the only theist alive who needs no faith.

Just what "discoveries" were those. Please reference them, and the scientific support for them.
The only discovery you're going to find at the bottom of that claim is everenas discovery of the word "quantum"..which, as we all know..makes everything about fairy tales sound truthier and sciencier. Sounding sciency is important, except, ofc, when you're talking about evolutionary biology, in which case science is bullshit.

Chaos Theory demonstrates that order arises spontaneously in this universe.
Galaxies, star systems, black holes are complex systems. They all arose naturally.
Your assertion (with no evidence) that complex systems can't "come into existence" is flat out false.
There are countless examples of them.
You say they are "cop-outs" and "straw-men" ... apparently you don't know what a straw-man argument actually is.
Your "cop-out" is nothing but your uninformed opinion, and you dismiss it, as you find it too difficult to address.
No one says anything can just "come to life".
Your assertion that nothing can just "come into existence" is also false.
You have no evidence that anything "just came into existence".
"Coming into existence" is a TEMPORAL process, and it requires time, already in place. It's a nonsensical meaningless phrase that presupposes conditions, not in place.
Reference us to these "discoveries" in "Quantum Biology" and the scientists who made them.
Quote:No, the whys of our existence are left to philosophy. Science only attempts to discover and understand things about an already existing and operating universe.
Nope. Wrong again. You are unable to refute ANY point at all made here ... or any proposed chemistry in this video ...
There are countless examples of science addressing "why" things arise ... like CANCER, (which apparently, according to you, is part of the *awesome* design). LOL
Here's what wrong about creationist "improbable" assertions.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/abioprob/abioprob.html
There is not one shred of evidence that complex biological systems retain, post mortem, an "identity", nor is there even a proposed mechanism for that.
There is no evidence that human identity even survives, (even though still technically *alive*) catastrophic brain injury.
There is no consciousness ever seen in the absence of at least minimally healthy brains, and that consciousness coincides totally with the degree of brain health and function.
There is no evidence that any part of a human "personal identity" survives biological cessation and decomposition.
"Complexity" IS a straw-man. It is undefined. No one can say what the definition actually is. It's nothing but meaningless "hand-waving". They cannot say what is not "complex enough" thus not requiring a designer, or what the boundary is exactly where a system becomes "complex enough" that it does require a designer. Without precise definitions, it's all a "big nothing" argument.

Bahai may or may not be nonsense. But I am reluctant to dismiss it out of hand.
Why?
It is an improvement upon nonsense. And an improvement upon nonsense makes sense. After all, that is all that science and philosophy are (when you really stand back and look at them.)

It's not, go spend twenty minutes at a bahai forum. Those guys are nuts, even more nuts than your run of the mill religious nuts. That's what happens when you get too deep into syncretism, though, you end up with a schizophrenic religion.
The bahai faith is islam's version of scientology.

Classy. Perhaps you should learn to not try to tell someone else what they experienced.
More classier than you'll ever be. And where exactly did I tell you what you experienced?

This one's from the Ray Comfort school of ignorance, and the Ken Ham school of arrogance and persecution complexes.
Also seems to have a science degree from the same school that gave Hovind his "Ph.D".
