Question: Where is the logic in creationism? How on Earth can anyone honestly believe in it?
Answer:
"Let's see. Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine or any kind of container you want and shake it, roll it, hit it with chemicals, shoot it with lightning bolts and just how long before it becomes a timepiece again?"
[It's worth going into the site just to read all the comments left by this idiot. Everytime she opened her mouth, she put her foot in it by giving comments & explanations more and more ignorant and asinine each time]

@ Sandman:
Uh no, it wouldn't.
Watches are not alive. They don't have self-replicating cells, and they don't need to fight for survival. Natural selection doesn't apply.
Zimmer: It would if you did it an infinite number of times. In fact, it would self-assemble an infinite number of times, while also ending up in random piles an infinite number of times. Infinite = never-ending. Every single possible outcome would happen, and continue to happen until infinity.
"Let's see. Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine or any kind of container you want and shake it, roll it, hit it with chemicals, shoot it with lightning bolts and just how long before it becomes a timepiece again?"
The answer to your ridiculous question is: "never"
However, if you wait around for a few million years it's possible that a new breed of homo sapiens will evolve and they'll be just glad to reassemble the watch you f***ed up.
Mrs. AntiChrist: Thanks for filling in. Your response is pretty much what I would have said. With infinity to play with you can arrive at any number of "possible but not probable" ends for any event.
For one thing, you ignorant twaddle, a watch doesn't have DNA as it's inanimate, made from non-living things.
Well, I wouldn't hold that stupid quote against her. Poor Galeanda doesn't seem to know how any inanimate object works. Later in the thread, she says:
"You can't blanket all Christians with one broad brush no matter how hard you try."
Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine
At least Syd had a fucking excuse.
Yeah, 'cause everyone knows that watches give birth to baby watches. Just the other day, I looked in my watch drawer and saw a dress watch and a diving watch mating. I can hardly wait to see what the babies will look like.
"And, lo, Darwind did take two of every kind of animal, dismember it, and place the parts in a giant washing machine. He did then take the washing machine, shook it, rolled it, and bathed it in chemicals. He then took the mystical lightning and with it did zap the machine. After doing thus for a million years did he open the machine and bring forth the animals, reconsituted in ways unimaginable."On the Origin of Species as interpreted by Galeanda
Let's see. Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine or any kind of container you want and shake it, roll it, hit it with chemicals, shoot it with lightning bolts and just how long before it becomes a timepiece again?
Yeah, but take a gene out of a human and put it in a mouse or a yeast cell and it continues to work just fine.
Take a watch and try doubling its size. You'd have to throw it away and start over. But humans can double their size easily, as anyone who has watched a child grow can testify.
Obviously, living things are vastly different from man-made machines.
The weird thing is, looking at the other comments she left, she's quite capable of reasonable, intelligent, accepting comment. Just that this time she seems to have hit the jackpot of making absolutely no sense at all O_o
Somewhere I read of a computer simulation where they *did* randomly juggle the parts of a watch, and it reassembled itself surprisingly quickly. I think they added an attraction between the pieces that joined together, though.
Shit, if I could throw lightning bolts, I wouldn't waste my time... doing a lot of the things I do now, actually, including working customer service and going to Walmart to argue with them to try and get some fucking customer service.
See, if there was a god, it wouldn't let you be this ignorant.
And so Creationism is disproved.
"Let's see. Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine or any kind of container you want and shake it, roll it, hit it with chemicals, shoot it with lightning bolts and just how long before it becomes a timepiece again?"
Well how the hell would I know how long it will take? You made me break my only timepiece and put it in a washing machine. Even if it does reassemble, what are the odds that it's going to be the right time?
It won't reassemble as a watch. Please keep the Watchmaker's Rule in mind: a tiny but vital component will always be lost or damaged in the process.
This refers to the process of careful and methodical disassembly and reassembly, btw.
Random shaking? It is to laugh.
even if you tumbled a watch around in a washing machine for eternity, it wouldn't reassemble itself, it's physically impossible. what galeanda is trying to imply is that it takes an "intelligent" designer to put together such a complex working system. BUT, she tries to prove creationism by using examples of things already MADE BY MAN. as other people here have pointed out, you can't do that. when you're talking about evolution, you need to stick to NATURAL, living things, not inanimate, man-made objects.
Mrs. Antichrist
No, a couple spins would damage the easily bent gears, game over
I hate the Monkeys and typewritter thing too, The variables are to infinity but 100% percent of the monkeys would never put paper in. Game over.
Galeanda's example's whack though. Life will find a way. The clue she missed (and I suspect she's missed many) is that life aint nuttin' like a watch
Take a watch apart and put it in washing machine or any kind of container you want and shake it, roll it,
So is that how your god made the platypus?
