By chance?
RE: By chance?
“Because it is, as many people have repeatedly explained to you. Rigged, by selection.“

NS has ZERO creative ability. You deep down are aware that evolution depends on chance lucky mutations 100% of the time but keep harking back to NS being the engine, it’s not.

Bacteria have always had resistance capabilities it’s just that some of these that have certain traits survive to appear to have mutated this resistance.

But those owls eyes are quite a work of Art, and how lucky a butterfly mutated them, it’s like a perfect world!

So, Yukon_Jack. You seem incredulous towards the understanding that things can, actually, be selected both 'For' and 'Against'.

Why is this, I wonder.....

So more of the same 

Declaring chance when it's already explained to him it's not

Not getting resistance

Not getting "creation"

Selection doesn't need creative ability to have an effect.  No more than we need to be able to create flowers in order to successfully breed them.

Evolution depends on a wide range of processes.  As to perfect worlds, the moths would probably disagree.  I wouldn't depend on an eyespot pattern to protect me from being eaten if I had any other options.  In a perfect world, why would we need protection at all?

Good questions next time you have a chat with the meatfairy.  Get back to me on what it says.
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!

So does Intelligent Design. Creative ability implies a goal. By now even a box of rock that has been pissed on by a syphilitic rhino would understand that random chance doesn't have a goal.

Why ridicule when the content of their posts already establishes their level of perfidy?

Huh.... I alway thought it was spelled 'Perfidity'?
