++"At this moment, your liver, kidneys, heart, pancreas, salivary glands, etc., are all working to keep your body going. You don’t even have the power to switch them off and on."
I see somebody is unfamiliar with Buddhist monks.
++"Even a wide-eyed Charles Darwin said, “To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree.” "
You are the most pathetic little prick, Ray. If the best you have are out-of-context quotes that purposefully cut out the portion dealing with the speaker's actual thoughts -- thoughts which directly contradict the portion you chose to quote -- then I'd say you've finally reached your end.
++"Creation reflects the genius of the Creator’s hand."
The genius of a galaxy in which rogue bits of rock regularly strike planets? The genius of a solar system with only one inhabitable planet? The genius of plopping down his land-dwelling, fresh water-drinking "favorite" species on a planet that's almost 80% saltwater ocean with significant portions of the land covered in large expanses of nearly unlivable deserts (both hot and cold)? The genius of being unable to devise a form of ovulation for them that doesn't lead to bloody discharge and cramping? The genius of designing the human spine so poorly that the mere act of standing and walking upright becomes almost impossible with age? The genius of designing us and most other species to use the same tube for air and food? The genius of fucking up those eyes you mentioned to the point that the brain has to correct all information they feed it? The genius of forgetting to give us a full set of redundant organs and thus leaving us with two of some and only one of the rest? The genius of an immune system given to randomly deeming all manner of harmless things an invader and switching into overdrive in its attempts to kill them? The genius of designing said immune system in such a way that it can sometimes even deem the body, itself an invader and kill the person in question? That genius, Ray? Is that the genius you're referring to? Because if that's genius then I'm the goddamned intellectual orgy lovechild of Stephen Hawking, Jimmy Neutron and Megamind.
++"Explain how a sparrow knows it is a sparrow and stays with its kind."
Because it is hatched and fed by its sparrow mother. That was stupid, Ray. Even by your standards.
++"The most godless must have a sense of awe and wonder when standing beneath the mighty power of Niagara Falls, gazing into the Grand Canyon, or staring into the infinity of space."
You don't have to believe in god to find things awe-inspiring, douchestache.
++"How much more should we be humbled by the Maker of these things."
Decidedly less. The wonders of nature are amazing as the results of natural processes. As direct creations, however, many of them have some serious and inexcusable flaws.
