I'm not a scientist, nor do I understand how my computer works, exactly. I am not a mechanic, either, but I drive a car. Thank you for pulling my happy go lucky world right out from under me. I feel like Gilligan who was flying until Skipper told him he couldn't. Thanks a lot! So, basically, your point is that we can't use a computer if we don't understand it and don't accept your religion of evolution?

No, the point is, that you shouldn't try to talk about evolution if you don't have at least a basic understanding about it. Much in the same way you shouldn't talk about computers or cars if you don't have at least a basic understanding about them.
Evolution isn't a religion.
Be that as it may, you keep comparing inanimate man made objects with thing that have DNA. It doesn't work, you moron.
The point isn't that at all...
The point you missed good sir is not that we say you can't use a computer if you don't know how it works, but you can't CLAIM to know how it works (and why) if you don't know, particularly when you damn all those to hell who don't agree with your world view. And don't say that you know definitively it is how the universe operates, no body knows unless some type of god exists. The bible has more flaws than the surface of the moon and I highly doubt the God you speak of would have written a flawed book. So one of three things now. (1) Your God does not exist (which you will never agree to), (2) It was written by a group of men to give them power, or (3) It was written by your God but then subsiquently changed by evil men. Your GOd did not step in for whatever reason.

Ask anyone who has ever done any kind of tech support (even helped an "ordinary user" with an everyday task) and their opinion is a resounding HELL NO.
Then ask yourself: Since you managed to post this on the Internet for everyone to gaze at, are you really that clueless about computers?
Computers are highly complex beasts and you CAN'T use them without having some knowledge of how they work. People who say they don't have to learn anything are fooling themselves - they will have to learn how the operating system and how the various programs work, sooner or later.
I have more than basic knowledge of various religions and try to make sure my facts are correct before I open my mouth. Can you have the same courtesy to do the same before trying to criticise evolution?
Of course you can use a computer or drive a car without having a complete knowledge of how they work ,what you cannot do is then argue with computer engineers & programmers and car mechanics that they are both run by fairies, elves or gnomes that live inside them and expect to be taken seriously.
Just like you have no understanding of how a computer works and can not explain it to anyone else, you have no clue how evolution actually works and can not explain it to any other people either and when you try to, you are basically building straw men for then to knock them over.
But just like with computers, there are tons of web sites that explains it correctly and in details so there is no excuse to not acquire the correct information and to continue to spew lies.
Other than the religion comment, yes, yes that's exactly what I would like.
Evolution is not a religion. No, you don't have to accept evolution to use a computer, but it does come across as highly ironic when fundies use their computer and the Internet, which are products of science, to decry science as 'evil' and the 'devil's work'.
No you can't argue that computers work in decimal not binary, because you use decimals in Excel.
The question is why do you cherry pick which science to accept, much like you people cherry pick which bible quotes are real.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
