Hi Russ

P.S. Russ you are wrong when you state that "they believe that in only a few million years, every plant and animal alive on the planet today was produced out of primordial mud." The evidence suggests that life has existed on this planet for over 3.5 billion years or 800000 times longer than the claimed period between the ark and the present.
No, actually you are wrong.

Which part of that statement was wrong? You can say that science has been wrong before, it obviously has, but it was good science that worked that out in almost all cases but the statement above is the current best information we have. It is supported by all sorts of evidence, evidence that you have not yet been able to fault. Can you show me were anything I said was wrong or is it all smoke and mirrors with you? Do you apply the same rigor to all areas of research you undertake? Scary!!

Rocks and water simply do not conspire together to become highly-complex, self-aware, self-reproducing, symmetrical machines.

Again can you prove this? I like, most here probably, understand that you passionately believe this just as you passionately believe many things but I don’t want to know what you are passionate about I’d rather know what you can demonstrate to be true. Can you prove that abiogenesis is impossible especially in light of the many recent successes in demonstrating very simple self replication in chemical systems?

Historically it has been religions that are tools of social control, what better control than to convince people that there is an all knowing being watching over them every minute of every day with a maniacal interest in their sex lives (et al). ToE on the other hand says, this is how we got here, the rest is up to you. Control? I don’t see it.

ROTFLMAO I love the bar code piece, that’s too funny. Mega conspiracy theories always tickle my fancy especially such transparently loopy ones.

I hope you weren’t serious about that!

All the best Russ.
