100 programmers at Microsoft with a total of thousands of hours of college experience can't write 3 billion lines of code in Windows Vista and make it bug free.
We are to believe SERENDIPITY does a better job than College programmers!
Had Bill Gates brought God in, he'd have more stable software!

We know how information is transferred from nature to the genetic code, it is natural selection. Its not a big deal. All local complexity is in fact due to selection processes of one form or another. You can't explain the origin of complexity by presupposing an even more complex creator. Now you have the bigger problem of explaining the complexity of your creator. Of course you will bury your head in the sand and say "God just is, it doesn't need an explaination". Seems like intellectual dishonesty to me.

One Religious theory suggests that God wrote the Bible for humans, but if God genuinely existed, he probably wrote thousands of Bibles for other intelligent life-forms.
The universe is about 15 to 20 billion years old.
Our solar system is about 4.5 billion years old.
Humans have been around for less than 1 million years.
Therefore all human Religions, Gods, Bibles have been around for less than 1 million years.
Since the universe consists of billions of billions of stars, there will be billions of stars capable of supporting life on other planets orbiting them.
The universe has been around for more than 99.99% of the total time and humans for less than 0.01% of the time. On a universal scale, humans have only been around for a blink of an eye. Most other life in the universe has been around much longer. Science would suggest the probability of intelligent life existing on another planet elsewhere in our universe is over 99%.
Religion suggests that God created the universe and wrote the Bible for humans. So for the other intelligent life in our universe which has been around far longer than humans, God must have produced thousands of other Bibles for them.

i dont think that any of you are geneticists so sorry if this is over your head.
any recorded change in genetics has been destructive.
evilutionists use to say that the earth was so old and as they find out more info they add years. did you know that the earth grows 400 years a day.

We've had about 4 billion years of life existing to get there.

All the logic in the world will never prove God exists or prove that there is no God.

Believers use the crutch of faith - atheists use the power of intellect.

little kitty, scientists predicted that there were be genetic code. scientists predicted they could find it in certain ways. scientists found it. that's because scientists don't operate on faith, but on fact. therefore, science is useful. no faith needed.

Atheists need faith. Believers already have faith.
