your body (Christian, believing, Adam and Eve, mercy)

[Asheville Native]

Proof that christians are not the only ones that subscribe to nonsense.

[Sizzly Friddle]

This is silly. There are no such thing as "dust atoms". Any random deity could have invented eyeballs, not just Allah.
But logic, common sense and some knowledge point in the direction of evolution.

Neither is water composed of atoms. Water is composed of molecules. What is this "mercy requirement"? Certainly a poor substitute for the majestic sweep of evolution.

A water molecule is made of atoms, silly. Haven't you heard of H2O? Two atoms of hydrogen + Oxygen = one molecule of water. 2H2O = 2 molecules of water, and so on.

And the Kid strikes again . . . revealing the caliber of knowledge against which we must debate.

So where is the mercy for people who are born with such things as asthma, brittle bones, blindness, deafness, you name it! Kind of suspicious isn't it?

[Reverend1111]

God created the soul. The human body evolved to what it is today. It serves no purpose other than to keep the soul safe while on this planet.

Diseases and handicaps are because of our imperfections. Once the body dies and the soul ascends to the spirit world, those bodily imperfections will only exist through the thoughts and beliefs of the holder. If one were to become perfect while on earth, there would be no diseases or imperfections.

Evidently, those conditions aren't "mercy requirements." Either that, or someone's textbooks haven't advanced to the knowledge of asthma atoms.

Q: Anyone heard of "the horse before the cart" logical fallacy?

The diagram of the eye that supposedly proves Allah's cleverness is just such a presentation. Believing without questioning is a prime characteristic and failing of Islam.

Oh, and of Christianity as well, for that matter, but at least it evolved to it's current level of sophistication in northern Europe where the vigorous and challenging climate conditions created a more naturally inquisitive and resourceful population. And thus, science and technology thrived. And thus today, in northern Europe, and indeed in northern N. America, Christianity has suffered and is dwindling. We just don't have the time for fantasy.

Not so much down in the desert and equatorial states. Obviously. There, Islam is growing like an uncontrolled pathogen. IMHO.

BTW, excellent YouTube vid, Sizzly. Should be viewed in every science classroom world-wide. Hard to argue against such straightforward logic, but then...

The Intelligent Clock Designer argument has been with us for a long time. It will continue unabated because it's proponents will not even consider such evidence as this simple 3+ minute video so eloquently provides. Much less studying the subject of Evolution/genetics/paleontology for, sat, 5 years. Their loss, frankly!

I'm staggering under the logical implications of this pronouncement, Reverend!
