Re: I concur, et al.

Supersport, you amoral, ignorant p.o.s. I am long familiar with your lies about the “evidence” for creationism, and even greater lies about atheism. You don't know squat about either subject, and we have all seen you confusion when presented with any technical evidence. In your retarded mind, you can't even make sense of it, rather you complain that “it is written in code so the average person cannot understand it.” Newsflash, you are intellectually deficient brain damaged troll; it easily understood by any reasonable intelligent person. You are neither reasonable nor intelligent. Now, I can add Nazi to the list of your failures as a human being.

I will let Sam Harris respond to your drivel.

4) Atheists think everything in the universe arose by chance.

No one knows why the universe came into being. In fact, it is not entirely clear that we can coherently speak about the “beginning” or “creation” of the universe at all, as these ideas invoke the concept of time, and here we are talking about the origin of space-time itself.

The notion that atheists believe that everything was created by chance is also regularly thrown up as a criticism of Darwinian evolution. As Richard Dawkins explains in his marvelous book, “The God Delusion,” this represents an utter misunderstanding of evolutionary theory. Although we don’t know precisely how the Earth’s early chemistry begat biology, we know that the diversity and complexity we see in the living world is not a product of mere chance. Evolution is a combination of chance mutation and natural selection. Darwin arrived at the phrase “natural selection” by analogy to the “artificial selection” performed by breeders of livestock. In both cases, selection exerts a highly non-random effect on the development of any species.

10) Atheism provides no basis for morality.

If a person doesn’t already understand that cruelty is wrong, he won’t discover this by reading the Bible or the Koran — as these books are bursting with celebrations of cruelty, both human and divine. We do not get our morality from religion. We decide what is good in our good books by recourse to moral intuitions that are (at some level) hard-wired in us and that have been refined by thousands of years of thinking about the causes and possibilities of human happiness.

We have made considerable moral progress over the years, and we didn’t make this progress by reading the Bible or the Koran more closely. Both books condone the practice of slavery — and yet every civilized human being now recognizes that slavery is an abomination. Whatever is good in scripture — like the golden rule — can be valued for its ethical wisdom without our believing that it was handed down to us by the creator of the universe.

There are no transitional fossils is the stupid claim that you repeat ad nauseum. You guys seem too stupid to type “bird evolution” into a search engine, so I did it for you guys. Here is a few examples (of possibly hundreds, Thousands?) of the transitional fossils that you claim do not exist.

Sinosauropteryx prima

Archaeopteryx

Compsognathus

Protarchaeopteryx

Gobipteryx

Confuciusornis sanctus

Maniraptora

Coelurosaurs

Caudipteryx

Feathered dinosaurs

#, I am amazed there isn't a wave of complaint that you are comparing and associating yourself with Christians. You are an embarrassment to Christianity. All good Christians have recognized evolution as the scientific truth. I have give the list before and it includes Catholics, Protestants, Unitarians, Episcopalians and many others.

#54423, you ignorant inbred Nazi product of a crack whore and her retarded father. Looks like you found a brother in that mindless pseudo-scholar, copy/paste artist who calls himself Supersport. Keep your moronic Nazi rants out of the evolution forum – stop blaming the Jews because you are failure. Your Nazi buddies were responsible for the death of 300 000 Americans and 300 000 more wounded. Anyone who supports them deserves a horrible fate.
