He’s not gonna make it to a k like this.
Needs to up his game.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not well established theory of gravity: John screaming as he plummets through the air.
Well established theory of gravity: John abruptly stopped screaming.
Not well established theory of evolution: Monkey became man
Well established theory of evolution: Monkey, man and similar animals show widespread and fundamental similarities at all levels, and which are most economically explained by common ancestry and gradual subsequent change through processes and mechanism that are both observed in nature and reproduced in controlled experiments.

Nah, CDF was less dishonest, and when shown up, he resorts sooner to desperate repetition rather than attempts at greater slipperiness and higher levels of dishonesty.
This guy is more like Drich in character, but unlike Drich, he may have cracked a book that is not strictly speaking the bible, so his two brain cells are still on life support and have not quite flatlined.

Looking back, now, we can see that it’s proponents were plainly and clearly wrong. This is one of the many benefits of hindsight. Thing is, we have access to tools and data they didn’t, and it’s easy to see why they thought what they did, then.
There were, ofc, people who had insisted it was wrong before it was superseded.
Newtons gravitational theory was wrong and replaced by Einstein and the general theory of relativity.
But Newtons equations work well at some levels and are still used.

Of those who plunged 10 stories, there are far fewer who would accuse Newton of being wrong than there are atheists in foxholes.
The lesson is Newton is right enough to be extremely useful in large variety of ways, while creationism is wrong enough to be totally useless in all ways other than aggrandizing the religion from whose loins it sprung. In so far as Newton's theory left a gap, it can demonstrably be filled by what is not god. Creationism is one giant gap which even omniscience and omnipotence can only pretend to fill only by the idiot acclamation of the braindead.

Phlogiston theory works well at some levels too, still superseded, as Einstein and Newton have been.
The same is true of the idea of the “complexifying force” of pre Darwinian notions, and even Darwinism itself, superseded by modern synth due to it being incomplete.
It’s not a coincidence that creatards want to argue against “Darwinism” - it’s the theory that directly replaced tinker-god.
Heaven forfend they argue against modern synth, which contains items that turned the previously hypothetical into observed facts. Ever notice they don’t argue against the science behind paternity tests?
They want modern synth to be right, they demand that Darwinism be wrong....always stuck in the past, lol.

If you have a hypothesis that evolution via natural selection cannot account for the human eye, that is a proposition you are responsible for demonstrating. Coming to an atheist forum and whining, “Well, how do you explain this?” is not demonstrating the truth of your claim. It’s a textbook argument from personal incredulity. Or, colloquially, shit reasoning.
I don't have any hypothesis that evolution via natural selection cannot account for the human eye. Read the OP again ma'am.
You were just asking questions?

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Heh, for all it matters it might be Hammy, trying to get to his vauted 666 posts of trolling. He has failed once, but such minds are prone to this nonsense. While i was unable to pursuit my higher educational needs, looking at this, somewhat makes me feel smarter. I will ask my psychologist sister why is that.
