| Quote | IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY-- How did two sexual organisms of the same species evolve AT THE SAME TIME out of an asexual organism?
Natural selection would have rooted out only males or only females or evolving HALF males or evolving HALF females. Fully developed male and female organisms would have had to be alive at the same time, and in the same proximity in order to mate.
Wouldn't the mathematical probability of this event taking place been too high? |

Is there something wrong with inquiry? I thought this was one of the principles of science. Okay let me ask from purely common sense, since THE unanswered question of evolution, which CAN never be answered, is just and old argument the religious.
Since you are already relegating me to a stereotype, I guess I will let you I was just a young country boy with a brain sitting on a bank of a creek, fishing (Issac Newton was under an apple tree at one time), watching on the periphery, the trees that had fallen in 1968 and other years afterward from tornadoes in central Illinois.
I observed each time and sat on some of these trees, while fishing as a teenager, the decay, the parasites, the insects, the mushrooms, and the fungus that was consuming this wood--oak hardwood at that.
These days and nights of fishing were firmly ingrained in my mind, as I toured one of the caverns in northeastern Arkansas. As we toured, we came upon some burnt wood
on display. The guide told us that this wood had been carbon 14ed at 800 AD. The wood had no signs of decay, and it was not fossilized. I made sure by INQUIRY to the guide, to make sure I had heard him correctly and that the wood was not fossilized.
My point is that here was a man that BELIEVED that this un-fossilized wood was 1200 years old--wood that appeared as is it could have been burnt a year ago--wood that was in a damp cave, with sounds of water flowing in it.
And little ol' me, the independent thinker, asking myself if this man had ever read in one of his textbooks that water and humidity destroys wood.
Okay what's up with this? This is just scratching the surface of what I could ask.
Knowledge puffs up (makes arrogant). But God's love builds up.
