It's kinda like this...

playing tennis against a wall is one helluva lot more fun than just hitting tennis balls into the distance.

<img src="graemlins/notworthy.gif" border="0" alt="[Not Worthy]" /> Very well put, Neruda. Since I like to think of myself as being a reasonably civil person in these debates, I am a little embarrassed about Matthew's quote from my post

Oh well. I will just need to keep it "nice" over there, I suppose, and counteract that perception. Trouble is, Matthew has demonstrated that he will use the slightest rudeness from an opponent as an excuse to dodge debate. I/we must do our best to avoid giving him that excuse, eh?

I'm a creationist. Anyone want to throw something at me to get a discussion going? I haven't really been following any of the stuff in this forum, but my biggest objection to evolution would have to be the old "hurricane + junkyard + time = car" argument.

It is concluded by saying something like "no matter how much time you have, a hurricane in a junkyard will never make a car. Likewise, time and chance could never make (insert complex life example here)".

I know this is sort of a po-dunk argument, but it can vary in complexity of example given one's training.

Any takers?
