WTF does this mean?
...and before you accuse me of not being worthy of your superior intelligence, learn the difference between "who's" and "whose". It's elementary.

Good point.

It really is odd that evolutionists have to support there flimsy theory by alluding to the precise nature of any other competing theory - which they do when they focus on God and creation rather then defending the validity of their own theory.

Dismissal of evolution does not necessarily = acceptance of creation or even a Creator.

It simply means that evolution cannot be supported and thus is not considered a valid explanation.

Or are you saying that God can screw up?
Perhaps it is for the purpose it was created. Do you know God's purpose in creating all of this? Your definition of perfect and God's may be two different things. In God's perfect plan, we get free choice. Unfortunately, that means we have the freedom to do really bad things. The plan isn't what is imperfect. Our choices are.

I don't assume a designer at all, but what I hear from ID folk is that the designer is usually their God. I didn't know this was new news.

I've seen Christopher Hitchens eviscerate creationism in the time it takes to make a cup of coffee.

Moreover, I've never seen a creationist win one of these debates. They should just give up.
You think everything around you happened by accident then?

If I wait long enough, will a 1964 Corvette appear in front of me by accident? The universe is about a billion times more complex and if that happened by accident I would think a Corvette should pop up every couple of minutes right?

There is not a worse blockhead than a blockhead that will not see what is right in front of their eyes.

It says it right in the bible "you have eyes, but you do not see"

I guess giving humans weak back muscles was all part of his master plan. What a perfect design! Most of us have back problems.

This is the same sort of silly game that his fellow Young Earth Creationist Ken Ham, is likely to play with Bill Nye.
They want to deflect from the fact that their views are based on a literal Biblical genesis, but still want to pretend their views are based in science- which they obviously are not. A pure time waster.
