I just have to say that I find it is hilarious that the same believers in evolution, the same believers that think humans came from absolutely nothing, and there is no higher power behind our creation, those same people believe something as mundane and incomplex (complex to them) as crop circles must have come from a higher intelligence (aliens). Sure, our bodies are made up of a perfect working machine consisting of hundreds of systems, organs, and reactions working in perfect tandem, but CROP CIRCLES...they're...crops bent over in patterns!! they MUST have come from aliens!! i laugh and scoff at such a fool.

1. Humans did not come "from nothing." What, do you think a fully-formed human just appeared one day as if by magic? Oh, wait...
2. I don't believe in crop circles. I subscribe to the "bunch of guys at night with a board and rope" theory. In fact I think I watched a documentary about that where a bunch of guys SHOWED HOW THEY FREAKIN' DID IT with a board and rope.
So? First of all, not all evolutionists are atheists, and evolution doesn't teach we came from "absolutely nothing".
And just as many if not more Christians believe crop circles are alien activity as well.
Frankly, there's a lot more to laugh at in the thought of someone who believes some unseen omnipotent man made everything mocking belief in aliens.
Aliens have far more evidence pointing toward possible existence than God does.
With aliens, we have cattle mutilations, people who report seeing things--people like army officials, cops, and other people who would have QUITE a lot to lose if they were caught up in UFO nonsense, mind you--in the sky, people who report being abducted, sterile soil where UFOs have supposedly landed, and so on.
It doesn't mean that aliens definitively exist, by any stretch of the imagination, but it's a bit more likely than the Great Rube Goldberg Spook in the Sky.
With God, we've got "well, these old Jewish men from a few thousand years ago said so."
I'll believe in the little green men first.

I believe, well, none of that actually.

I laugh and scoff at such a fool who thinks our bodies are "perfect working machine" seeing all of the things that can and do go wrong with them. You'd be quite surprised how fragile the human body actually is.
the same believers that think humans came from absolutely nothing, and there is no higher power behind our creation ...
Evolution doesn't say anything one way or the other about higher powers. It doesn't say anything about humans coming from absolutely nothing, either. It says we and other living things came from a common ancestor. There are various hypotheses about where the common ancestor and the atoms needed to construct it came from, but that lies outside the theory of evolution. Only creationists claim humans came from absolutely nothing.
Yes I agree, it is rather silly that anyone would believe that crop circles were made by aliens...
Another poor strawman. Only credulous, gullible imbeciles believe in the "alien crop circles" nonsense... ironically, these are exactly the sort of people who would believe that the world is 5,000 years old, or that a deity wrote a book filled with contradictions and errors.
Yes, what fools, "crop circles are made by aliens", Ha! They're obviously Transmutation Circles, created by people from the other side of The Gate.
Either he's Poe, or he's too much of a twat to realize that the logic he's attacking is the same logic the fundie Intelligent Design crowd uses ("this is so awesome, it must have come about through some supernatural means!"). Worthless waste of bandwidth either way.

"There's a difference between the Big Bang theory and Evolution." A typical exchange with a creationist:
CREATIONIST: "Evolution is false because the Big Bang never happened!"
CREATIONIST: "Evolution is false because the Big Bang never happened!"
More like:
CREATIONIST: So, now you're trying to deny that evolutionists believe the Big Bang created life on earth?
Let's see a few examples of this "... systems, organs, and reactions working in perfect tandem":
* Gastro-esophagal reflux disorder (the acid producing part of the digestive system eroding the muscular-system based sphincter at the top of the stomach, allowing acid into the esophagus proper)
* Diabetes (all types)
* Celiac disease (an immune response to gluten that can kill)
* SLE aka lupus (another immune disorder where the immune system attacks other systems in the body)
* Stress reactions to non life-or-death situations (come on, do we really need adrenaline and cortico-steroids when you get more work on your desk or your boss says s/he "wants a word?" That's a hideously broken systemic reaction!)
There are many more of these examples, but I'm sure you'd ignore those somehow.
But . . . but . . . but I thought crop circles were god still doing miracles; he snaps his mighty fingers and makes that shit out of mud, communicating with us in his mysterious and wondrous way. Oh, now this . . . THIS really shakes my faith.
Drunken college pranksters with boards and rope, you say.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
