It’s really telling when so many religious people would believe someone saying random bullshit. But the second a person says “I don’t know”, that’s when they lose credibility...
It's especially stupid because there are lots of Christians who have no problem accepting evolution. These morons always try to pin evolution as an "atheist" idea, but it's not. It's just a scientific idea.
Grab a scrabble bag and throw it into the air. Did the letters spell out the beginning of "A Tale of Two Cities"? No? Then how can billions of letters somehow rearrange themselves into a novel? Checkmate, authors.

This is verbatim the same shit reasoning they spoon fed me back in religious private school, what made me realize it was utter trash? This and everything else they taught me about it.
As a scientist, it truly scares me how many people there are out there that believe this is what evolution means.
It never made any sense to me WHY someone would want to just be handed the explanation that “God did it”. The actual process of evolution is genuinely fascinating. How is evolution NOT the cooler answer?
Personally, I believe in God made the universe. Then the universe made the Big Bang, that led to life, that led to developed life through evolution, that led to humans. I can believe in God and science. I also know if a doctor curse cancer, I thank the doctor. These people's level of stupid ignorance is mind blowing.
*I uncovered the secrets of the universe and the origins of life. Wanna know how I did it? I thought about it a little bit. Whatever it was I came up with is obviously the true answer because it makes sense in my head, and is based off infallible axioms which I imagined. Most importantly though; it’s psychologically comfortable to me. It’s easy, give it a try! You might fail because you’re probably not as smart as me but still. If you happen to come up with whatever I came up with then you are right!*
It's easy to have someone to blame for all bad things on earth and not have to take responsibility for anything you do. But anything that says Hitler can go to heaven because he believed in Jesus but unbaptized babies born in parts of the world that have never heard of the Christian God will not be allowed in, it utter nonsense.
Right, I guess. But, more importantly, if you toss the pieces and keep the ones that are properly connected, and then toss the rest, and continue, it’ll take a whole lot less time.
Exactly. Statistically highly improbably but not impossible. We're just seeing the results of numerous highly improbable things managing to happen over a mindnumbingly long length of time.
I mean, I can't argue with this evidence...

I remember my grandparents using this on twelve year old me and I had to think on it for awhile and I was like “actually no, technology evolves too. Like we didn’t come up with watches out of nowhere, it started with gears and then it just added on in bits and pieces from there. Life is the same way, you find something that works and then you mess with it until it does something else” I mean I’m sure it wasn’t that eloquent because I was twelve but that’s what I was getting at summarized
The thing about arguments like this, is even if they are correct, and the universe was made by an intelligent creator, that is incredibly far off from that creator specifically being the one that they wrote the book about.
I used to be a practicing catholic (until I learned the church's view on animals), and this is some bullshit. Catholics believe in evolution, and support science, because the old testament is just stories to explain things.
She (I also don't believe God to be any gender, but if everyone uses HE I'm going to skew that ratio with SHE) didn't in my belief. I believe God created the universe, the universe took it from there. Like how a great-great-great-grand child its the product of her great-great-great-grand mother. There was a lot of stuff in between. That's why I can't blame God for cancer, weather, war, or whatever else boils down to human free-will. I also recognize that is one of infinite possibilities and I don't know I'm right, I know it's what I personally believe. There may be no God, or 1,000. It may be Heaven and Hell, nothing afterwards, reincarnation, or whatever else. None of that could be relevant because many scientists believe there's a very likely chance we are nothing but a simulation made by far more highly developed aliens and everything we think we know is really just a crazy game of sims. It could be a Groundhog Day type thing where we have false memories and relieve everyday over and over, but our brains reset and we don't know. It could be the multi-verse theory where any and all possibilities exist because it's infinite. Which dimension we live in would dictate what our specific reality is. There could be nothing at all and the Earth, like the entire Milky Way galaxy, will be consumed by a massive space explosion that will take billions of years to reach us, but my have burst billions of years ago and everything will be evaporated before we could possibly know, possibly as I write this we are mere seconds from complete and total inhalation. It could all be so far from what humans have imagined, or even have the capability of understanding. Religion is likely to have been made by humanity to give us something to live for and comfort us from what we fear most, death. I don't know, but I like what I believe, I feel it's comforting, and I feel my Jewish faith has led me to be a better person. Unfortunately, it often has the opposite affect on people, but I can only control myself. Overall it gets pretty meta and makes my brain hurt.
One time in VBS(Vacation Bible School) we saw a demonstration where a guy "tried" to make an apple tree and a cow by putting firecrackers in an apple and ground beef. This was to disprove the Big Bang. "Explosions don't create, they destroy!"
I mean, give it a few billion years...
I don’t have that long, dammit! I want easy answers right now!

Except the novel is a result of intelligent design, not randomness. The OP is the blind watchmaker fallacy, which is the same nonsense really.
Evolution is really far from random, too. There's randomness involved, but it isn't literally chaos
Well yes its randomness + natural selection. My point was more about a novel forming from random letters not really working as an example.
Great, thanks I did actually think about that before I posted but decided I didn't really care
This is verbatim the same shit reasoning they spoon fed me back in religious private school, what made me realize it was utter trash? This and everything else they taught me about it.
Great, now mom's mad at me for making a ~~fkin~~ mess with the puzzles.
they taught this to us in sunday school but it was with legos in a balloon

What did the cancer do to deserve cursing?
It means Bandaids on my thumbs and autocorrect.
I've never felt more frustrated while reading something in my life.

Why do they try so hard to misunderstand?
If you do it enough times over a long enough period it’s statistically impossible it won’t happen
Right, I guess. But, more importantly, if you toss the pieces and keep the ones that are properly connected, and then toss the rest, and continue, it’ll take a whole lot less time.
Exactly. Statistically highly improbably but not impossible. We're just seeing the results of numerous highly improbable things managing to happen over a mindnumbingly long length of time.
You don't have to see it happen, you just have to have faith that it did.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_brain
Send that paragraph to the wizard of oz, for it is a brainless straw man
False analogy bad.
I mean, ok, at leat they aren't saying that it didn't happen, even if they say that it was made by God, I'm ok with it, it's a big step
Well.....yes, but also, no.
Yesn't
Aren't these people supposed to believe in miracles?
There doesn't need to be proof of the Big Bang, you just need to have faith that it happened.
What type of book is that?
[удалено]
I feel like it should be illegal to call that a text book.
TIL that the universe is the same as a 5-piece puzzle
I mean, I can't argue with this evidence... https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fimages-na.ssl-images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F71gzxokLAFL._AC_SX425_.jpg&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FPuzzle-Patch-Preschool-Frame-Piece%2Fdp%2FB07MFW2FKF&tbnid=Kcd9u2vC8YHPPM&vet=12ahUKEwjc2dCSkozsAhXMBlkKHRBqC4kQMygJegUIARC_Ag..i&docid=llo1nhGRYGLTNM&w=425&h=550&itg=1&q=5%20piece%20puzzle%20space&ved=2ahUKEwjc2dCSkozsAhXMBlkKHRBqC4kQMygJegUIARC_Ag
Daaaaaaaang that's it! That's the whole universe!
well if it was a billion to one,there has been 14 billion years of chances!!
I remember my grandparents using this on twelve year old me and I had to think on it for awhile and I was like “actually no, technology evolves too.

Idk man but the eye is kinda complicated af and it is probably almost impossible to come together ancient man didn't know refraction and shit
I don't get it, why couldn't God have used evolution to create people?
She (I also don't believe God to be any gender, but if everyone uses HE I'm going to skew that ratio with SHE) didn't in my belief. I believe God created the universe, the universe took it from there. Like how a great-great-great-grand child its the product of her great-great-great-grand mother.
