How did things really happen. There was no intelligence in the beginning. No rules to establish the mechanism of life. No parts floating around looking for some useful place to fasten onto. What good would a random strand of DNA do if the directions( which it did not yet have) not appear to direct the construction of something which as of yet did not exist.

Because all three falsify the creation story ies in Genesis, and are thusly all the same![/fundie “logic”]
That way Obama can be simultaneously Muslim, Jewish and atheist; fascist, socialist, communist and Marxist.
No, sorry, you're too stupid to grasp reality, RDK. You've probably been fed nothing BUT lies until now, and reality completely baffles you.
*sigh* I really get tired of these idiots' attempts to make abiogenesis and evolution sound impossible. If they'd only put half the effort into actually understanding abiogenesis and evolution as they do creating straw men, they'd find the answers. But that would make their carefully crafted alternate reality come crashing down.
"Cosmos" had a good segment on that a couple of nights ago, sorry you missed it. We now have at least 4 more theories for how life arose on this planet than we did when I was in school. Life is starting to look inevitable, not special.

Kenyan, Indonesian and Hawaiian, but not American.
Uhm. That's not how anything happened. Do they think that random strands of DNA were floating around in a void as if they didn't know what to do with themselves? Thus, god had to have created life because otherwise we'd have a bunch of DNA that just loafed about?
Wouldn't god have been a random creation, considering there's no explanation as to why or how god came into being? And there's also no explanation as to why or how a god was able to create anything. "Just cuz" seems to be the most popular answer.
The worst thing about this argument is it never addresses where God came from. If you can accept that God has always just existed, then why is it so hard to accept that the universe exists simply because it does?
I don't have the answers to why matter exists and why the laws of physics work, I can only observe that they do which is more than I can say for the existence of God.
Saying God did it doesn't answer a damn thing, it just leaves me with the same question of why he exists and where did he come from.
You are right! There was no intelligence in the beginning! We got where we are now because of individuals who preferred to ask the deep questions, analyze the world, and not believe the whispers in the wind and the trees of a spirit.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
