FRA Debate - Intelligent Design vs. Darwinian Evolution

[philip_taylor]

That is a balanced veiwpoint. My sarcasm meter just went off the scale. Do poeple actually believe that sort of onesided nonsense?

Me?....No.
I just enjoy stirring the pot.

Philip, sarcasme is a kind of humor. Something not allowed for a god. But humans can enjoy it thoroughly.

I am a Jealous God.
I am a Vengeful God.

Yes, quotes from the old testament, and a part the Muslims like.

Having just read through this whole thread, all I can say is...
Thank god Im an athiest!

I thought you were about to say.
I wish I had never learned to read.

Or The blind must pity me.

Thank god Im an athiest! Very good, Geoff. You have to admire the English style of humor.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, I know, it should have been left to rest in peace.
But I was sitting at work today and found myself thinking about this intelligent design / Darwin thing, then suddenly it hit me... Everyone has missed the one thing that blows the whole debate clean out of the water.... The Duck Billed Platypus!!!
I mean, come on... It has to be the most ridiculous creature on the planet!
The body of a beaver with a ducks bill, its the only poisonous mammal and as far as I can see serves no useful purpose whatsoever...Now, Im sorry but I cant see that any intelligent entity would design anything so pointless, unless of course.... God has a very strange sense of humour!
But heres the final twist.....Its a mammal..... But it lays eggs!!... Up yours! Darwin old friend...
Explain that one by natural selection...If you can!

Its Australian - nuff said :wink:
