I believe that one day evolution will come to be viewed as the
greatest hoax in all of human history. It's worse than the emperor's
new clothes. It assumes that somehow, by random processes that no
one's yet been able to explain (much less duplicate), life sprang from
non-living matter. It assumes that staggeringly complex biomachines
somehow assembled themselves and somehow "just knew" how to perform
their intricate functions, never mind that natural selection would
have had no reason to "select" the components for those machines
before they were formed. And on and on one could go. It's just plain
nonsense.
Your common sense reasoning overpowers these atheists.
"I believe" is not reasoning.
Cheers, Mark.
Lets not talk about reasoning like it's the best thing ever.
Remember where reasoning got Communist Russia, or Nazi Germany.
Reasoning is the backing for eugenics, after all.
Was it really?
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at
last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for
the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years,
with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before in
the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the
Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated,
but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice.... And if
there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly
it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a
duty to my own people.... When I go out in the morning and see these
men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I
believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil if I felt no pity
for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn
against those by whom to-day this poor people is plundered and
exploited."
-Adolf Hitler, in his speech in Munich on 12 April 1922
