Question by Blasphemy is fun!: Atheists: What is your favorite stupid “intelligent design” argument?
I personally like “Irreducible Complexity” because it is just so easy to mathematically disprove.

I like the one that says that the amazing similarities in DNA prove that one single deity made everything.
Give your answer to this question below!
Satan Buried fossils in the ground
i’d say the name: intelligent design
if it was designed by a being with infinite power, it would have been designed a LOT better
“I ain’t related to monkies!”
It’s just so… Southern.
Been hearing alot of this
“Look around you! The proof are everywhere! DO YOU NOT SEE THE DESIGN OF AN INTELLIGENT DESIGNER??”

I like Irreducible Complexity for a different reason. It precludes a highly complex designer.
i like it when they confuse evolution with abiogenesis
When they use subjective feeling for an argument like, “this looks very complex, by my authority I pronounce it to be designed!”
Not to mention that Intelligent Design requires the fallacy of special pleading. “Everything in the universe MUST be designed…except the designer!”
To JoshC: I’m pretty sure that was Kent Hovind who said that

Kirk Cameron’s banana thing.

They haven’t found anything that’s irreducibly complex yet.
My favourite is the ‘earth is so perfect, its obviously made for us’ then a Katrina like incident occurs.
How about, “Look at trees around you! You think a random chance could have made that? Therefore, God exists!”
Or maybe, “You think a tornado will make a BMW when you throw a bunch of car parts together? Well, of course not! So God exists!”
When they say “Why aren’t monkeys giving birth to humans anymore?”.
“So you’re saying everything just happen by chance”, is the most painful.
a stupid creationist once said “theoretically the whole world could be covered in one drop of water if you spread it really thin”
to under stand why this is bull shít you must know a little about the formula of how much energy is released when something is increased in math basically if you spread one drop of water of the surface of the earth the power released would destroy the earth the blast would be equal to about 9 nuclear explosions an inch
I get tired of this bickering between Atheists and Theists. Just go on believing what you want, and don’t believe in what you don’t want, and live your life.
In any case, we’ll know who was right the moment after death. If you are conscious and you see yourself in front of a big man holding a book, the theists won.
If you never come back…well..it would be difficult to acknowledge the fact if you are dead.
*Yawn*
Is this a forum for intelligent debate or a breeding ground for flaming people?
EDIT: Seems my thumbs down (presumably by atheists) means they are for the latter.
“There’s as much molecular difference between an ape and a human as there is between a watermelon and a cloud!”
*Sigh* Smash face into desk. Repeat until blissful unconsciousness descends.
The meaning of life isn’t a question to be answered, but is a reality to be experienced. Go outside, stop trying.

Probably about the 2nd law of thermodynamics – which they do not seem to understand… Since the 2nd law deals with closed systems, wouldnt a God creating it be OUTSIDE a closed system? So, even God breaks this law – but apparently, thats okay. God can break natural law, but nature cant… go figure.

“Have you ever seen the birth of a baby? Doesn’t that prove to you that there is s god? Isn’t it the most beautiful, magical thing?”
Um, actually, it’s pretty hideous. Lot’s of blood, afterbirth, and screaming.
1+1+1=1
bahahahaaaaa
**Suddenly I feel like throwing up** dunno why
i like “ID is a legitimate science”
My favourite is “it is written in the Bible, so it must be right”.
Honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what it is that the Creationists believe. They seem to believe in other galaxies, because we can see them, but they also believe that the earth is 6000 years old, which means we can’t see anything which is more than 6000 lightyears away, which is only about 1/10th of the distance to the center of our own galaxy. But on a clear night I can see the Andromeda galaxy from my house without binoculars, which is about 2 million light years away. But Creationists don’t disbelieve in the Andromeda galaxy or the speed of light. I think. I don’t know, I’m still trying to piece together what it is that they DO believe, because I’m inclined to think that there must be some semblance of a cohesive model buried underneath all of it.
A casual claim made by some true dim-bulb fundies says that the fact that no two snowflakes are exactly alike is proof that God designed each and every one of them individually. Is that the best way he has to spend his time, designing snowflakes? No wonder he doesn’t answer my prayers!! I’ve noticed also though, that no two boogers are exactly alike either (at least not mine) but I’ve never heard anyone claim that that proved anything.
This is an Atheist’s argument against the Peanut Butter concept. It’s more or less humorous then it is serious.

We (atheists) are just to close minded to see the perfection of puppies and babies and is possible only for god,, to make something like that
