    My reply for ID and creationism as a science.

    To scientifically prove the existance of an Intelligent Designer or application of evolution to God you must show me how to disprove that existance or application. Remember, all science is known by testing for it be disproven.

    So, you tell me how to find out God doesn't exist, and I'll tell you why creationism is science!

    I presume that's not your objective.

    On the other hand, if the skies crack open and a thundering voice bellows "This is God. Evolution is a crock. Check out genes #43.125-43.234 in starfish and humans" and it turns out those genes contain a binary encoded (C/G=1, T/A=0) message saying "(c) YHWH, 4000BC, nobody mess with my copyrites, I rulez0rs, go forth and multiply suckas!", well, then that could quite possibly be a good way to disprove evolution..

    OMFG! This is one of the funniest things I've read in a while! Oh shit, just picturing Jesus bellowing l337 speak from the skies was enough to cause me to literally belt out laughing.

    Seriously though, I agree with you. I've never really understood how the evolutionary scientists can tell me that evolution is REAL, and we descended from APES or something when they can't prove it at all.

    What? Really, they can prove it? I call bullshit. No, fuck you. Ok then produce me an APE and make it into a man. Oh, you can't. HAHA. Ok then, show me a situation where that happened. No, no, showing me bones that are millions of years old and saying "see how similar these two skulls look?" doesn't fly worth shit. It only proves that there were either some really fucked up looking humans, or some fucked up looking apes, or some other animal that lived back then.

    Oh stop whining about it, you know you can't prove it. It's just a THEORY right? Fine then, show me some DNA from these crazy bones that relates to some HUMAN DNA from REAL HUMANS. Ah, right, you can't. So stop proseletyzing your stupid fucking beliefs on me, and own up to the fact that evolution is just another religion... Oh, right, ok fine, it is a THEORY... it's just an unprovable one. Just like intelligent design, eh?

    Tee hee.
