EvC Forum: The Sex Life of 747 Aircraft

I'm proposing this topic so it can be referred to anytime anyone brings up the 747 in a junkyard strawman (or any other arguments like Paley's watch).

This particular one was triggered by:

apoligize for the response i made earlier. I was a little harsh and mainly it was due to reading most of these threads about people being closed mind thinking. By that i mean i saw most people defend evolution(evilution) with a death wish but refuse to look at other theories with same intensity(creation theory for example)and was wondering why would you?. There is a better chance in a tornado for 747 to be created from an airplane wrecking yard than for any of these theories to exist. But anyways your wright i'm probably in the wrong area for this discussion. Sorry.

I'll present a short comment on what is wrong with this argument and then a slightly longer one.

1) 747's don't f**k!

2) The analogy is a complete straw man if it is intended to be an argument against evolutionary theory because it doesn't represent in any way what evolutionary theory is saying.

It suggests that evolution is a random process and this isn't true. The analogy leaves out the mechanism of natural selection. It is wonderfully ironic when a poster puts "but refuse to look at other theories" and this strawman in the same paragraph. (The poster may be disappointed to discover that most of the "evilutionists" here have studied his theories more than he has.

I'd suggest that any poster wanting to use this argument explain why they think it applies and then we can discuss it further here.
