For once, it wasn’t me

without comments

I am not responsible for slavery. I refuse to be held accountable for it. Some people evidently think I should. My ancestors didn’t even live in the south. Good grief.

The first flaw of evolution

with 10 comments

It doesn’t make any sense. No matter what hypothetical scenario you apply to it, it simply does not work. Allow me to demonstrate.

 A long, long time ago there were chemicals floating around in outer space. These chemicals would occasionally have random collisions. Well, one of these groups formed by these random collision slowly began to form something red. As the amount of red grew, a few white chemicals were added. Then these chemicals slowly began to take a cylinder shape, and they started combining with aluminum. Inside this cylinder, a syrupy substance began to form. When it was all finished, the Coca-Cola drink and can had formed.

Now, we all know that this story is as ridiculous as it is false. Everyone knows that the Coca-Cola can and drink couldn’t have just formed by themselves. They had to have a designer. Therein is the primary flaw in evolution. It just doesn’t work. No matter how many ways you spin it, or how many ways you try to excuse away the marvelous complexity in the world, it doesn’t work. No one in his right mind would say that the 3.6 gigahertz processor in the computer with over a gig of RAM that I am using just formed by accident. Well, not only is the human brain much more complex than that, but so are animal brains. In addition, any real scientist can tell you that when chemicals mix when they aren’t supposed to, rarely do good things happen.

So, the first evidence in my series against evolution might seem a simple one, but it is perhaps the most effective. If all it took was for a bunch of chemicals to combine, evolution is possible. But the odds of evolution, even under those circumstances, happening are so ridiculously high that it really makes the whole possibility seem absolutely ridiculous.
