50+ Reasons to Reject Evolution

Let it be thus spoke.

The Original 50 Reasons

Valor Phoenix's Addendums:

VP 1: Because I confuse possibility and probability. To evaluate the probability of something, it had to be tenuously granted the status of being possible. The maths and statistics makes my head hurt, so I just run with 'it might be possible' like a kid with scissors.

VP 1a: If a pothead says the living room got wrecked by Thor and a frost giant duking it out, who am I to rudely question the plausibility of that occurring? I've been assured that the pothead calmed them down by offering to share and they left peacefully once they mellowed out, so the situation must have been handled properly. Meanwhile I'll ignore the inconvenient evidence of the pothead's friends having visited, including the backpack left behind.

VP 2: Some dude made up some statistical numbers that said a complex biological creature randomly assembling and just poofing into existence is statistically improbable, thus evolution couldn't have happened. I'm also willfully ignorant that evolution by natural selection is a distinctly nonrandom process and thus the bogus math doesn't apply there, while also conveniently forgetting that creation stories are about people and things poofing into existence.

VP 3: I might concede micro-evolution but I draw the line at macro-evolution. I literally do draw a line there because it is no longer a scientific distinction. I am also willfully ignorant of Ring Species.

This is sarcasm BTW, otherwise known as a Poe

Also, I stealappropriate the quote sig of one of the commentators there.

"Science is simply common sense at its best- that is, rigidly accurate in observation, and merciless to fallacy in logic."
