Isn't if funny how over 1.1 million different species of living organisms happened by chance and just "happen" to work so perfectly together in this beautiful universe? All the hundreds of thousands of gorgeous flowers and all the amazing bees, butterflies, and moths that work together to keep those flowers growing and reproducing. All the hundreds of thousands of trees that grow hundreds of feet tall or produce delicious fruits for us to eat. And especially the human being who is greater than any other animal on this planet. Why do people believe all of these millions of wonderful things happened by "chance"?

I agree - It's like saying that a cabin in the woods just happend by chance. The logs fell into place just so. You would say, "Someone made this cabin".......

You're missing the point, darlin'. It's not CHANCE, singular -- like someone took a big handful of letters, threw them up into the air, and it came down the complete works of Shakespeare with only one try. It's CHANCES, plural -- trillions of them daily, happening for the last 15 billion years on the planets orbiting a billion trillion stars.

Theists like to use the "tornado blowing through the junkyard and spitting out a 747" analogy, but let's use one that's a bit more accurate. Suppose that after each time the tornado blew through, we went through and gathered all the bits that came together and looked like they could go towards something useful.. Then we mass-produced each of those couplings of parts, and put them all back into the junkyard. And then we sent through the tornado again, and repeated the process again and again a million times. And let's not presuppose that the end result HAS to be a 747, but just SOME sort of machine that does SOMETHING. After a few million tries, we'd probably end up with some pretty sophisticated and interesting creations.

Now, if the object assembled turned out to be some sort of computer or robot, and some sort of static electricity in the air happened to give it the electricity to power it and it was somehow self aware, then it might rightly assume that it must have had a creator, and it couldn't have come into existence by chance. But it didn't see the first million passes of the tornado; or realize there happened to be a tornado in every junkyard in the world doing the same thing.

By chance? What exactly has Dr Dino been telling you? Things don't just 'happen' to work so perfectly together, that's ridiculous. How would a situation come about where they didn't? Surely if there was an imbalance one or more species would die out, and the balance would be restored.
And you call our universe beautiful, which other universe are you comparing it to?
The fact trees produce delicious fruit is not a coincidence, they need something to eat the fruit so that the seeds will pass through the animal and be fertilized by it's crap. Tastier fruits are more likely to be eaten, and therefore more likely to spread.

If we work so beautifully together, then why are so many species becoming extinct each day. If we work so well together than why do humans hunt for fun. It's not chance, it's called evolution and survival of the fittest. And what makes you think you are so much greater than any other animal on this planet.

who says we are?, we cannot jump at 100x our own height like a flea, or hear as accuratly as a dog.. who says we are the best?.. anyway.. the answer to your question is evoloution and co-evoloution.. micro-organisms live with and for each other in the circle of life.. like a magnet some organisms attract and some detract.. it is just the way the worl evolved.

I've got bad news. The number of species that have gone extinct since life began on this planet outnumbers those that currently exist by 99:1-yes you read that correctly. 99% of all species that have existed no longer exist. Intelligent designer or was he just a bit careless?

First...it wasn't by 'chance', it was by evolution, which is a cruel beast.

Second...Human beings ARE NOT the greatest animal on this planet. Do you see elephants polluting the atmosphere? Do you see turtles dropping bombs on one another? Do you see lizards discriminating against one another because one has darker skin than another? Do you see birds dumping oil in the oceans? Do you see whales genetically modifying crops? Do you see penguins murdering and raping one another? Do you see dolphins killing one another for money? Do you see giraffes having holly wars?

If you truly think humans are the greatest animal on this planet, then you are a VERY, VERY sick, deranged little girl.

Evolution is a scientific fact. If you want to credit God with getting the ball rolling in the right direction nobody can fault you. But to deny evolution in the twenty first century make people look ignorant.

Because there is no evidence for any other explanation.

How can you believe that a creator came into existence by "chance," yet the universe needed to be created?

Maybe all of this has always existed and did not need to come into existence since it has always existed.

What's REALLY amazing is what Nature can do given 5 billion years to work with. Just look around. It didn't just happen one day. It took eons - literally!

Natural selection is NOT random chance. It is anything but. You need to get an education.
