Tell me, you all knowing atheist non creationists, how did the primordial soup decide what an eye would look like or how it should function or an ear or a nose?
How did the primordial soup determine that there should be millions of different species of fish, fowl and mammal etc? and what they should look like, act, behave, build nests etc. etc. etc.?
How did just two microscopic thingamajigs get together and say, Hey, we need to make an elephant! Yes, and this is how it should look. Let's give it huge ears, eyes, a trunk for a nose, tusks etc.? Then two other microscopic thingamajigs also got together and decided that there needs to be monkeys. Then to more and this went of until there were millions of pairings of two thingamajigs that each decided to make an entirely separate animal.
What you in fact are doing is deifying the primordial soup. Maybe you atheists should worship pond skum?

i'd love to get this guy (and all the others like him) a subscription to an evolution journal, but i know it would be a waste of money, and would probably expose the editors to a barrage of incoherent nonsense like the above. i couldn't be so cruel!
Primordial soup has no consciousness, ergo it decided nothing. Eyeballs, noses, ears and multicellular organisms did not immediately rise fully created out of primordial soup. Millions of species didn't all spring out of it instantaneously. Self replicating structures, no doubt infinitely simpler than even the crudest single celled bacterium today, might have arisen, however, and everything follows from there once you include replication, mutation and natural selection.you who are deifying the concepts of evolution, not any of us, and quite adequately demonstrating your refusal or inability to even think in terms not involving a deity of some kind. Until you can wrap your head around the idea that things don't need to have been set in motion by a controlling intelligence in order to occur, don't waste your time trying to understand such notions as abiogenesis and evolution. Start simple, with stuff like nuclear decay and nucleation in molecular theory of fluids (random, statistical processes), and then you'll have the necessary mental tools to appreciate evolution and abiogenesis.

Wrongo, chump! Atheists aren't deifying the primodial soup because, unlike superstitious fuckwits such as yourself, we feel no need to pretend to see intelligent premeditation in a natural process that took millions of years and is ongoing. Why do you think everyone has to be like you with a need to worship something?

Perhaps we should tell him it all happened through 'jiggery-pokery'?
"You see, Tony, the Earth was really higgledy-piggledy about then, with a topsy-turvy atmosphere and everything. So when the thingamajigs started getting all rumpy-pumpy the results were a bit more wishy-washy leaving plenty of variation for persnickerty ol' natural selection to work on..."
Wow, a whole new publishing phenomena awaits! Find the 'Dummies' books too hard? Try "Evolution for Fundies"!
Idiot fundies, thinking about evolution backwards again. *sighs*
I wouldn't sneer so condescendingly at pond scum - it's very interesting stuff, supports all kinds of little critters, produces oxygen, demands little in return.
Well, the primordial soup, well, the primordial egg I´d say was a thing, not a thinking entity. Draw your own conclusions.
I think that if I wanted to worship anything, pond scum would be a good choice. Pond scum, unlike god, exists.
We've heard that one before, Tony. It's called the Argument from Incredulity. Look it up. It's a well-known logical fallacy.
I dunno, Tony. Maybe you should learn a thing or two about science, and then learn how to spell, before you go publishing this bullshit on the internet.
The primordial soup didn't decide anything. It just started mutating randomly, and what didn't kill the creature, but helped it survive, stayed. Sometimes the mutations caused large changes, sometimes only minute ones. Sometimes changes in the environment killed off some formerly successful creatures, while leaving not-so-successful creatures free range to evolve, like when the VERY toxic gas Oxygen suddenly spread in the atmosphere, killing off most living things.
3,5 billion years give room to a lot of mutations, failures and successes.
Most Americans are Christians, most Americans accept science, including evolution, as fact. Ergo; lots and lots of Christan Americans accept the ToE as fact. Atheists don't believe in worshiping things.
You ought to go back to third grade Biology, you seem to have missed all the Basics for Beginners.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
