Hello I may not be the smartset person on earth but even i am not stupid enogh to beleive in evolution. I will make my points in number order. First one then two and then 3.

NUMBER!) How can evolutin violate the laws of nature? The nuber 2 law of tubrodynamics...</strong>
Gotta be a troll, look how evolution is spelled correctly in the first paragraph and misspelled in the second.

Either that or their short-term memory is in the Altzheimer's neighborhood.

Although I suspect that “OooOoOoo” is not whom he claims to be, I will refute his arguments concerning the inaccuracy of evolution. (However, I will not correct his spelling.)

NUMBER!) How can evolutin violate the laws of nature? The nuber 2 law of tubrodynamics clearly states that basically what goes up must come down. How dose life keep going up and up and up the 'evolition tree"&gt;?? I read someof your stuff about this but it makes no sence. I guesss that slime just turns into fish that become monkeys that are really men?? HAHAHAHA!!! And they call me stupiod!!!
The second law of thermodynamics states that in any closed system, entropy, which can be loosely defined as “disorder”, must always increase. However, the earth is not a closed system, as it receives energy from the sun, as well as other sources, and therefore orderly forms of life do not violate the law in question.

NUMBER2) How did life get created in the first place. Even if it can somehwo evolve it still had to start someplace. Or do you guys deny that even to???? Well i will pratend that you are reasoble at know that if something is then it had to start. So now that we know that life started how? With more evolution? I have haerd you guys say that evolution is not about the beginning of the universe. But how is that??? It has to be about the start to make any since. So lauf that off if you can!!!
Evolution governs the alteration and improvement of existing forms of life. It does not apply unless some organism is already in existence. Recent studies have suggested that the first forms of life may have been created by chemical processes in primordial substances, which were initiated by an electrical charge.

NUMBER#) Finaly i Want to say you about morals. If evolutio is real then were did morality come from. Did it evolve from the sand and the slime to??? Slime based moral system. Where have i heared that before?? HA! Well unless you are going to admit that yoyu have morality from slime and dirt you are going to have to prove me were you morals come from!!!
Although I would say that transcendental moral values do not exist, I think that in order for a society to survive, its members must create a system of moral values that encourage cooperation amongst themselves.


That being said, I would encourage OooOoOoo to be honest about his identity (assuming he has not been to this point). Well-researched, well-written arguments will be much better received than argumentative grammatical monstrosities such as this. I, and others on this board, would enjoy an opportunity for genuine debate on this subject, however such arguments should be kept civil whenever possible.

Don’t for don’t is one of the most common punctuational errors there is. Anyone genuinely as challenged in the spelling and grammar departments as Ooo seems to be would not get don’t right. The errors were added afterwards. And that bit of accuracy slipped through.

Also, it’s very unlikely IMO that anyone correctly spelling and using terms such as violate and morality would spell laugh as lauf.

Troll. No doubt about it.

Come on Ooo, 'fess up. Who are you?

I think you're right, Oolon. No one could fuck up the English Language so marvelously without conscience effort.

Me smell rat.

Hmm. I fear I must disagree with point one. I correspond with a few folks who are only now learning English. Their worst stubles are more coherent that OoOOOoo-whatever.

On point two, well, I think you have a point, there!

Edited to touch up an incoherency of my own.

Nah, that’s my point. There’s slip-ups where real knowledge of English shows through. Genuinely poor writers don’t spell don’t don't.
