If you empty your garage completely of any material whatsoever, and wait 10 years, see if a Mercedes will evolve. If not, try waiting 20 years, or 10,000 years! Nothing.

Gee it's too bad that there isn't someway to strangle you through the computer. but you know what? Just like evolution, shit don't work that way!
You probably wouldn't be able to tell if you stumbled upon a fact in a library.
Hey, here's one. If you waited around for jebus to re-appear, you could wait 10, 20 years, even 2000 and NOTHING!
This is one of the worst arguments possible.
A car is not a living thing. It is made out a metal, metal is a raw material, ergo it has no real life. Ergo, evolution does not apply to it.
Teshuva, If you empty your head completely of any material whatsoever and wait 10 years see if a brain will evolve. 50 years, 10,000 years, nothing. Fixed
Actually, you might find some mold & mildew that wasn't there before.
But no, you will not see an inorganic, non-reproducing car appear in your garage. That is probably because it has no genetics , genius.
If I do the same, a Mercedes will not appear out of nothing either, BECAUSE THEY´RE HUMAN CREATIONS AND YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM, IDIOT!!!
10,000 years is many orders of magnitude too short, there is no source of energy or matter for the system, the working area is far too small, and motor vehicles are not self reproducing. Your analogy fails in every possible respect.
Given a planet-sized surface area, a colossal net flux of energy from the sun and subsurface reactions on a global level, lots of nice base elements and compounds and plenty of water to wash them all over the place, and a time period spanning whole geological periods, and creatures could quite probably arise and maybe, if they felt like it, build something resembling a car.

To be fair, fundies are taught that stork cars deliver little baby cars to dealerships every July, who grow into each year's new models. Also, NASCAR and Monster Truck shows are Olympics for cars.
The crazy person would empty their garage and wait for a car to form.
The religious person would empty their garage and wait for their god to put a car in it.
The rational person would empty their garage and then go out and buy a car.
Any guesses on who is gonna get to go for a drive first?
(Besides, cars are evil. They're not in the bible, right?)
Are you trying for Stupidest Fundie of the Month award? Because I gotta tell ya, kid, you've got some stiff competition. Still, this might get you the silver.
No. And you no what? I won't either. Or you. or the monkies you say we think are our grandparents. Why? Firstly, inanimate objects can't evolve. Why? Because it can't reproduce. At all. Which is why the other three statements are true. Evolution is not an individual mutation! It is a population slowly shifting to an environments demands. Ah, the hell with this....why do I bother?

Nekhbet, there isn't anything in there to be removed.
a very good point, Mercedes are not affected by natural selection, they don't reproduce, therefore they do not evolve. Thank you for demonstrating the importance of natural selection in evolution.
It won't, because CARS DON'T REPRODUCE.
If they could, maybe.
But they don't, not that reality has ever changed anything for people like this.
Whilst you're waiting for this Mercedes to manufacture itself, like God did, take a look now and again to see if Jesus has ever shown up.
Btw, with my luck it would be a Yugo or LeCar that appeared. *sigh*
Hey, I just thought -- if God did make a car, whatever kind (oops) it was, would he have to wait a day, remove a connecting rod and make a Chevy out of it?
Nah, hypothetical at best. I know iron chariots aren't the big guy's thing.
If you empty your fridge, turn it off and close the door, then check back in a week to see whats there , you may find life.
(fixed)
cars dont breed.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
