Argument the 4th
Here's another one for the fundies to chew on: stink. Yes that's right stink. How come after I play football with my friends I stink? I can understand how perspiration helps us function and cools us down but why does it have to stink so much? I put on my mens power stick to avoid having to take a 2nd shower but the power stick only mingles with my stink causing a sort of ocean fresh B.O. If a good God existed he would have made us so that we don't stink when we sweat, we could just wipe the sweat off with a squegy and change and that would be the end of it. If a good God existed then why do we stink so bad?
Here's another one for the fundies: cold. Why is there a season in which we have to put up with cold for months on end? Wouldn't it be so much nicer if all of the planet was like Hawaii all year round? Of course it would! And if a good God existed life would be a permenant vacation and we would never get cold.

Maybe it's all the hair on your back that causes you to stink? Hey, we did evolve from monkeys, so don't take it personally.

It used to be like a perfect paradise before the fall of man when stupid Eve was tempted by the snake to eat that darn apple, then all hell broke loose on the planet and the seasons started to change.
"Are you aware that people evolved in sub-Saharan Africa?"
"People" hey?
It's funny to me because you evolutionists play both sides. First you explain every positive trait in animals as evidence that evolution occured but then when you see odd traits like those in a Kangaroo that is also evidence of evolution because we should expect screw ups too. (See Gould on the kangaroo) Just seems to me that evolution is a nice atheistic theory of the gaps...it explains origins and can do so in a way that eliminates any necessity of theism. I think that's why people are so dogmatic about evolution, NOT because it is in itself a philosophy but it gives the NECESSARY support for atheistic philosophy to be at all tenable. Dawkins himself has said this.
"Kangaroos aren't "screw-ups," they seem do reproduce just fine. Their evolution was certainly influenced by thr isolation of Austrailia and the lack of predatory species, but the kangaroo is no weirder than we are."-Reason
Um, maybe you should read Gould on this before you respond. Gould explains how the kangaroo is not suited for the environment in which it lives and this just like animals being suited for their environment is evidence for evolution rather that creationism. That just seems pretty sloppy to me.
What crucial test has there been verifying evolution theory? can there be an concievable crucial test? All this stuff Gould is saying seems to me to be theory laden data.
(By crucial test I mean a test that would show evolution theory true and Young earth CS false, one in the lines of Einstien's theory of relativity vs Newtonian mechanics.)
Bah, I take a break from blogging and I got some nutcase fundi talking about kangaroos being evidence for creation! How ridiculous.
