Critical Analysis of Evolution vs. Creationism

Hey Seismo, that clock one is interesting. Yeah, many ID believers tend to use it to improperly disprove evolution... which it pretty embarrassing... but the ones with their heads on straight realize it's more applicable to abiogenesis.

The only question I have with the clocks is, at the very beginning, when there are all these random clock pieces all jumbled together... wouldn't all the clocks that couldn't tell time just instantly "die?" Sort of like... if a group gazelle couldn't run... wouldn't they all just be eaten?

On the abiogenesis, there's more to that than what the clock argument can be used against. Of course, I could post some links on Abiogenesis and stuff.

Clocks that couldn't tell the time correctly would be selected against, so that they would die off a lot quicker than the ones that could tell the time more effectively. So, only the ones which work would be able to survive, thus allowing better clocks to come about.

What in the #%&* do those images have to do with the Bible? She just says the Bible is some great science book and shows a bunch of science images that have nothing to do with the Bible.

It's a comparison to the Creationist Science and the actual Science.

Like the peanut butter anti-evolution video, that one is aimed at quite a gullible audience.

It might possibly be the funniest video on You Tube. A few 80's hair metal videos are stiff competition for it, but it probably takes the cake.

Both of those videos are so incredibly stupid my browser refuses to play them past 00:02

Oh do explain. I'm interested to know what abiogenesis involved that the clock analogy doesn't.

Well, wouldn't all of them not work at the beginning and thus be "selected against" and "die?" I'm skeptical of the whole pendulum clock thing...
