OK creationists and IDers and anti-evolutionists, bring it on. Explain to me how the discovery of yet another transitional form - exactly what evolutionary theory predicts - can be explained by your 'scientific' models.

I'm having a dig at the fundamentalist ones on this site.
(And by the way Brother, you need to check out your spelling from time to time - it makes it hard to figure out what you're saying.)

Well I say that god gave them the power t understand what he would create next. Since it was all a equation. He ment for it to evolve and he ment for people to find out.

God gave who the power?
What was all an equation?

(And it's 'meant'!)

The equation god invented that would dictate what would happen. For a reason we cant understand.

The one he made which decides everythig that will happen.

Not saying he wrote it down. But he knows it.

Logic.

God is infinatly intellegent.

He designed the atoms and put things together at the beggining.

Thus he knows how they will react together. Thus he knows what will happen.

Everything consists of atoms reacting together. EVERYTHING.

Imagine a scientific equation involveing every atom in the universe. Thats what god must know.

If you design a machine you will know how it will work and its capabilitys. You design a computer game and know the reactions to certan part because you designed it that way.

The fossil was planted by Satan to lead you off the path of truth. We fully expect to find such 'evidence' for evolutionary theory.

...[text shortened]... u design a computer game and know the reactions to certan part because you designed it that way.

God is infinitely intelligent eh?
And this is your logic?

Let's try that again without the rubbish and see where real logic takes you.

Spelling class 101:
Infinitely
Intelligent
Capabilities
Certain
That's

I am dyslexic and you understand the word I was trying to say so whats the problem?

Yes god is infinatly intellegent. Please explain how what I said was wrong?

Saying "lets try that again without the rubbish" without putting forward a counter argument dosent bode well for you.

My apologies.
You claim your 'god is infinitely intelligent' statement is part of some logical process. I want to know how you arrive at that.
Because it certainly isn't by any logic.
