Quote (Glen Davidson @ Mar. 11 2014,00:41) | Quote | I will tell you as a scientist and a synthetic chemist: if anybody should be able to understand evolution, it is me, because I make molecules for a living, and I don’t just buy a kit, and mix this and mix this, and get that. I mean, ab initio, I make molecules. |
Oh, absolutely, because you make molecules ab initio you must completely understand a process that never does this, or at least almost never has for the last couple billion years or so.
It's the typical creationist engineer's boast, hey, I know how to design things so I must understand evolution perfectly well. Meaning in fact that they know nothing about evolution and merely assume that what they do must have been what the Great Engineer did. And why bother learning evolution when you already know how it "must have happened"?

Hey, I write software for a living and if anyone should understand evolution it's me 'cos it's all software. Apart from the bit that's like a little machine. Or the bit that's chemistry which must have been intelligently designed 'cos chemists can't intelligently design it. Or the bit that's like 500 coins all heads-up. Anyway, it's got fuck all to do with biology.
