A catapiller knows just what to eat, when to make a cacoon and how to make it , to wait till spring to come out a butterfly just in time of season to lay eggs. If all this happened by chance it is one chance in 100's of trillion times. It is by all practical means impossible. Like cutting up a phone book in a million pieces, throwing it up in the air in hopes it will come back down in the same way before you cut it up. Aint gunna happen. And no, I don't believe atheists are more honest than christians. It may seem that way cause when a christian gets caught being dishonest it makes major headlines. When an atheist gets caught ,, the world just shrugs and sais, that is human nature and little is said cause it is expected. A case in point is a pastor is dishonest it is big news. When the CEO of Holly Madison gets caught being dishonest,,,,, it is expected.


I hooken,

Let me help you gain a better understanding of both logic and evolution.

The concept of a creator, in and of itself, is not a fallacy. In logic, a fallacy is a failure in reasoning that renders and argument invalid. Since you would form an argument to reach the conclusion a creator existed, the fallacies would lie in your argument. An exception I'm aware of is if you used a self contradictory definition of a creator, then there could be a fallacy in your definition, that would render your entire god concept void.

As for your understanding of evolution, if you can say evolution is a matter of "chance", then you do not understand evolution. Within evolution, there is a selective force called "natural selection". So lets apply this concept to your examples:

If a deer develops a taste for the wrong foods, it dies, and it's genes are eliminated from the gene pool. The same thing applies to deer who breed at the wrong time of year, fish who spawn at the wrong times, animals that hibernate at the wrong times, and caterpillars who eat the wrong things at the wrong times. Properly understood, evolution is the opposite of random change.



You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell
