What do you say about this, evolutionastrians?
Venomous snakes have both hollow fangs and venom glands. According to the prominent creation scientist I. M. Lyon, unless hollow fangs and venomous glands magically appeared fully-formed at the same time, they could not have evolutioned.
The reason they could not have evolved is because both structures are irreducibly complex. Also, it would be pointless for a snake to evolve one of them without the other.
I know my last point is not true; for example, Gila monsters have venom glands but not hollow teeth. I'm ignoring that point because it refutes my argument, and I hope readers will too.
As long as you ignore the points that disprove my argument, it's obvious that venomous snakes could not possibly have evolved. This proves that God created the snake to tempt man in the Garden of Eden.
How do you answer that, evolutionistas?

Absolutely.
Ignoring all the evidence against your case, I find your presentation utterly convincing.

1- "creation scientists" are not scientists at all. Science is about reaching a conclusion from observations, not about starting something with the conclusion and selecting data that support a view and dismissing all other
(Is I.M. Lyon just supposed to sound like "I am lying"?)
2- there are venomous snakes without hollow teeth (the fangs have just a groove)
3- venom is modified saliva, saliva (even yours) has enzymes in them that help with digestion. Most venoms kill because they have anzymes that disrupt some key biological processes
I find it rather strange that you admit about ignoring points that disprove your argument. Are you trying to run a "reductio ad absurdum" demonstration, or are you just being illogically silly?

Don't worry, it is common to think that such seemingly dislike things are very different. The reality is that since snakes have such similar DNA to us is why their venom is so dangerous to us. You see, it is so similar that their venom can live within us quite easily. Yet the problem (for humans) is that the venom (depending on which type) stops the neorotoxins from letting the muscles do their work, and we all know what happens when a certain muscle stops working...

I would not rely on inductive logic--reasoning from thousands of examples to generate and support a general principle--to demonstrate the existence of God and creation theory.
When your only example is venom glands, I'm not convinced you have a persuasive argument.

Well, I think you answered that yourself. And asking us to ignore the evidence against your theory which you yourself presented, doesn't give us much to work with.
Who knows, perhaps they evolved hollow teeth after developing venom glands.

So you're ignoring the bits that prove you wrong in order to compile your argument?
Effectively you're being lied to by whoever thought up that crackpot theory and you're lying to yourself by not taking into account all of the facts.
It would be like claiming there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq when there is no supporting evidence (or at least is all evidence proved otherwise)

LOL. Well, yes. If I ignore the fact that 2 + 2 = 4, and pretend that it equals 5 because someone told me it does, then I guess it does.
I guess there is no logical eplanation for hermaphrodites, either. Nature NEVER throws us a curve ball. Right?

you've just slapped yourself in the face by ignoring pieces of information. And you've also murdered the english language. "evolutionastrians" and "evolutioned" - what words are these? did you make them up?
How about you go ask a REAL SCIENTIST this question, and then they can answer it properly, and get your head out of the clouds.

I think I love you. Not hot throbbing man-love, the bible tells us that is wrong. But dignified and sanctified like a priest loves his altar boys.
