1/19/2015, what I wrote for an anti-science Christian fucktard.

Daniel Murphy wrote:

"Speaking of fantasies that are childish and impossible:
In the beginning Nothing caused the entire universe to pop into
existence. That universe just happened to have properties that are
extremely fine tuned so that life might exist. And voila, random
chemicals magically combined to form the first living cell, with 400
genes and 500,000 base pairs of DNA that define all of the structures
and functions of said cell. Then those 1 celled creatures combined to
form various plant and animal species without leaving a trace of the
intermediate forms in the fossil record."

"Then by more magic, one of these animals, through the trial and error
of millions of mutations that differentiate it from other primates, by
chance had just the right ones selected for it to became self-aware,
develop the ability to think abstractly about math and philosophy, and
morality, all in just a few million years. Some of them invented this
fairy tale and gave those who believe it a name: atheists."

Mr. Murphy, that's all very nice what you wrote but I noticed a few
errors. The numbers you wrote for the first simple living cells, you
either made those numbers up. or you copy and pasted from an
anti-science website. Those cells had no DNA, that evolved later. Your
400 genes is totally wrong. What Bible website did you use?

Your problems with the fossil record are wrong, and in any case
biologists don't need the fossils. They are useful to help explain
things, but the evidence for evolution from DNA sequencing is many
thousands of times more powerful than the fossil record, which by the
way is complete for some species, especially the development of
whales.

Natural processes are not magical. They're natural. This is obvious
but for some reason you want to compare science to your religious
fantasies which have zero evidence.

You totally misunderstand how Natural Selection works. The mutations
are random but the selection of what works is not random and not
chance. This is one of the most basic concepts in biology but most
science deniers are unable to understand.

Our ancestors: the fossil record (which you deny exists) shows a
gradual increase in brain size, which is exactly what evolution
predicts. In a difficult environment our ape ancestors who were a bit
smarter had a better chance of passing on their genes to the next
generation. Our close cousins the chimpanzees did not require our
large brains because their environment did not require it. By the way
both chimpanzees and humans are still apes. There are 5 Great Ape
species and the human race is one of them. This is scientific fact.

Evolution has a lot going for it that magical creation will never
have: evidence, tons of it, more powerful than Darwin could have
imagined possible.

Sorry, but we don't need your god's magical powers for anything. Your
fantasies do not belong in the 21st century.
