"Attaching the spring to a piece of wood is even better, since it's easier to move around, doesn't leave holes in the floor, and can be used on concrete floors. The wooden platform and the staples are optional, though; the trap would still work with just the spring"
The platform is optional, is this just going to float in space?
In this supposed refutation, the author brings in the issue of guided or macro evolution. I find it much harder to believe this to be possible than to believe in a Creator with design in mind when He created everything. Micro evolution, yes, macroevolution, no.
Some more questions - Would comparing evolution to a tornado going through a junkyard and assembling a 747 spontaneusly be comparable (even if all the pieces are laying randomly in the junkyard, whereas evolution creates all the parts itself)? Would you put your faith in this being possible?
One more random question --> Why do two of the planets spin backwards, does not the Law of Angular Momentum dictate that they should all spin the same way when the universe was created?
And no, Im not in science.  |
Of course there are questions science doesn't have the answers to yet (maybe this angular momentum thing, I've never even heard of it), but just because science hasn't figured it out, the answer can't be "God did it, because we don't get it" and that seems to be what you are pushing.
I'm sure there is a clever answer out there for your "747 in a tornado" scenario, but I don't know it. It seems as plausible to me, though, as a story about a guy born to a virgin who can walk on water, rise from the dead and all that.
What kind of creation do you believe in? The "it happened 10 thousand years ago" kind or the "god started it all with the big bang billions of years ago and made all this stuff kind". I think there is a big difference.
