"How did such complexity explode upon the scene fully integrated into a living thing in that first split second of formation ? What random mechanism , what wild chance collision of atoms and molecules formed such a wondrous amazing blueprint ? Where is your evidence of that ? Where is your logic ? Your thousands of scientists working in labs around the world seeking to create life from scratch are wasting time and money ."
"I see patterns here . My girlfriend and I have been debating this subject a lot lately . When we first started debating , she did so in `` solid support of creationism `` ( yes Frog I did not write those words by accident ) . She said , and I quote , `` Evolution is bullsh * t `` . Last night , after two or three evenings of this stuff back and forth ( after I resoundingly bested her on every point , basically ) she affirmed that she does believe in evolution and has `` kind of `` always believed in evolution , but that she has many reservations and questions about it . The pattern ? '' Solid support of creationism turns into an admission that evolution is the truth , but with reservations. `` I find that pattern a little bit amusing . Last night , she had abandoned most of her philosophical objections because I made the concession that everyone has to make if they want to make any headway whatsoever with a budding evolutionist who ca n't let go of their religious objections : `` Okay , maybe it had God 's stamp of approval. `` When you say that , you can move on to a real conversation . In this case , she bombarded me with a million questions that I could n't answer . She seemed excited about it , not debating , but asking me about the wonders of biology with a long series of `` ... but what about this `` and `` ... what about that `` type of questions . One thing she keyed on was evolution as it applies to a larger ecosystem . I could n't quite grasp what she was asking because I do n't think she herself was very clear on the question , but to make a long story short , I got the distinct impression that she simply ca n't wholeheartedly accept evolution because she ca n't begin to fathom the complexity of the science behind it . I have told her time and time again : `` Just because you do n't understand something , that does n't make it wrong. `` I see this same pattern here in your words , Frog . You 're talking about wild collisions of atoms and saying that the foundations who donate hundreds of millions of dollars a year to research know less than you do , because they 're wasting their money . You 're making this subject so much bigger and more philosophical than it has to be , Frog . Is evolution by far the best answer we have to the question of the diversity of species ? The answer is yes , overwhelmingly so . Everything else is moot . It belongs elsewhere ."
