Our historybooks are filled with scientists who make real scientific breakthrough in some field, but are then deluded by their own belief system(s) and then waste large parts of their life on researching flimflam.
You can add Albert Einstein to that list. Apparently, he couldn´t handle the concept of the "uncertain universe" that Quantum Mechanics implied and spent decades trying to disprove it. What a waste.

So with a 4.5 billion year old earth, that would mean a good mutation every year, assuming that life began when the earth first formed. More likely it was much later, so even more good mutations in a much shorter time span than yearly is required.

Nice to know they still dodge the issue with this kind of nonsense. Try pointing out that single cell organisms, the first kind of life, reproduce more often than once a day. And that multi-cellular organisms reproduce more than once a year and most produce multiple offspring, each of which is capapble of having a different mutation.
I don't suppose someone with a more thorough biology background could expand upon that could they?

I never got the "it's highly improbable, therefore god did it" argument.
I mean... even if it's improbable, it happened, so why not believe it to be true?
I had a Bill Maher quote here. But fuck him for his white privelegy "joke".

Wait...you can't make the claim...but it's more logical. Even if natural selection works fine on its own...you should still believe in a creator?
I think my brain cells committed mass suicide reading that.
