I think you boys are trying to tell me that the complexity of life happened through random chance. Well then my Ford mustang is pretty complex and my GMC envoy even more complex, if I get them baby’s up to high speed slam them together I might get me a Mercedes Benz.

Sorry, but if you can't rebuild a running engine you haven't got much of a leg to stand on.

Hi Barnes,
If you'd like to discuss how evolution is like rebuilding running engines then please propose a new topic over at Proposed New Topics. As a moderator I don't have a position on the issue of evolution, but I do have a position on what topics are being discussed in each thread. If you continue off-topic in this thread then I will remove your posting permissions in this forum.

I think you boys are trying to tell me that the complexity of life happened through random chance. That would be just one among the many things you are wrong about. No-one has tried to tell you that. Here's a way to find out if someone tells you that: someone will actually tell you that. By the way, what is it about you guys and the phrase: "random chance"? Really, is there some sort of chance that isn't random? Would there be such a thing as "non-random chance"? Why do you even say stuff like this?

I'm sure this guy is a troll, completely uninterested in any real discussion. The alternative is even worse.
Let the keeper handle this one.Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison.

Oh I apologize for using the word random in front of chance. You are correct chance is chance, May I make a chance and what might be random chance statement. Chance; I buy a lottery ticket, it wins. What might be construed as random chance; I pick up a lottery ticket from the side walk and it is a winner. Yes they are both chance one being a sought after chance and the other being a what, greater chance without a preconceived end result. Please enlighten me that I might not make the same mistake.

Species don't evolve because of random chance, there's selective pressure too.

Like the jump picture, I rode dirt bike for years knees won’t do it anymore . Wouldn’t selective pressure suggest chance or guidance?

Wouldn’t selective pressure suggest chance or guidance? The environment blindly guides the changes that arrise through chance. Evolution is both guidance and chance.

Evolution; the changing of what is to what will be through either minute change or quantum leap. Let’s fast forward to today 2012 the most spectacular event known to all evolution has occurred, witnessed by the entire world. Amazingly female elephants in Africa, Asia and in every zoo around the world have all given birth to a What, pending a name by a sufficiently important namer. The world is amazed by this quantum leap of evolution all eyes are glued to the TV watching the baby Whats. In a true twist of evolutionary fate all the new baby Whats are carnivorous and have subsequently devoured all the female elephants. In the true form of nature all the baby Whats are being eaten, without the protection of their mothers, by, may I say the Lions, Tigers and Bears oh my. Those that have not been eaten are being trampled by the male elephants when the baby Whats try to bit them. Oh how inhumane the evolutionary world is, what irony when nature is left alone it doesn’t pamper what is incomplete nature destroys the incomplete without hatred, anger or remorse. So here I wait for the next What to be birthed, because evolution has taken a four thousand year break so that we may debate.

Is this how you think evolution works?
Or are you trying to be amusing?

So, to summarize, you have absolutely no idea what the theory of evolution actually says.
Well, that explains why you can't come up with a cogent argument against it. There are books on the subject, you know. You don't have to spend the whole of the rest of your life wallowing in the filth of your own ignorance.

That doesn't resemble to process outline in the ToE whatsoever.
because evolution has taken a four thousand year break so that we may debate. But we can see animals changing right before our eyes... Check this shit out: Some russians domesticated some foxes and they exhibited all kinds of changes that weren't expected. Just by selecting the least aggressive foxes, they found that their coats and barking changed with it along for the ride.
