"Enormous Weapons Depot"...I suppose for New York.

Good night all.

nick8807: Ask that the other way around: Why do people so fervently believe God is not normal? Put aside all the man-made religious bullcrud and distill the higher power down to its essence, that it is the origin and purpose and guide that got us where we are today. There is no scientific evidence that supports this…

Ron.Swanson: I don't know if I'd agree with "absolutely nothing." And, sure it is possible that "in his infinite power, he designed the world to under go evolution" as you define it. But, I am fascinated by those that absolutely "know" that can't be the case because...because...they believe it can't be the case.

Indistinct: I believe I received your directive too late.

reillyt: My point exactly, the ball can't do all that by itself, let along navigate the long twisty hallway.

Nitesh: Didn't mean to run off, had to work. I came back and attempted to answer everyone who commented to me. As for "where the article even touched on" it, how about the title: "It Takes 24 Million Generations For a Mouse To Evolve Into an Elephant." I think that touches on it as does the article itself. On point,…

scarbrtj: Works for me...and that "someone" is also a Patriots fan, or so I've heard.

patmcnaught: Link a larger pic next time. You don't know anyone in between those two categories, maybe an atheist who's gone beyond facts and reasonable conclusions who states with absolute certainty that for which we cannot be certain?

Corked720: Well, that's kind of the point. With a enough pictures (fossils) of the ball moving down the hall and the features of the ball moving from behind, over the top and down the front side, one might determine that it was rolling (evolution), but given the fact that it is a long and twisty hallway, one might…

0101: Again with the book. I'm not defending any book. This is an internet thread on a tech/gadget/soft porn sight, I have a really really narrow premise: We didn't "roll" unaided or unguided from mouse to elephant.

dylan30: Ummm...ok. I don't know if you succeeded in explaining "it all" but you did shed some light on one thing.

steino: Just checked the hallway with a level....perfectly flat. And, not outdoors so no wind. And, not in an earthquake zone. And, while I'm at it, a million twisty miles long. But, clearly the ball moved by itself in a natural process because I have millions of pictures of it along the way. Plus, we can make little…

o0RaidR0o: Unguided the ball soon stops moving and rolls off course. The ball in my analogy has moved along a twisting million mile journey at a consistent pace. But, it must have done it all by itself because I have millions of pictures of it at different places along the path.

Mike Adams: Did I mention the Bible, or any book? No I did not. I do very much believe science and religion co-exist very well. It's the athiest-religious-left that fascinates me. They chastise the religious for being so fervent about their sky fairy but are equally or more passionate, CAPITAL LETTER passionate, when…

commander_k: By picking apart my analogy instead of taking it for what it is worth, you have totally changed my mind. My magical sky fairy is dead, long live the purposeless popping pimple of perpetual* existence. Oh, and the hallway doesn't guide it as the ball mysteriously travels down the center...of the flat,…

NeoTechni: You are correct it doesn't take a magical sky fairy to get a "ball" rolling. Something, a million billion trillion times more complex just might though.

Ridley: I agree with your critique of the Giz site/crowd, but there's little fun in preaching to the choir, and if I can't stand the ridicule, I should have kept my original comment to myself. Nice try on your letter to the editors, but I'm not surprised at the outcome. Take it as a compliment to Christianity,…

beknown9: The person who started the rolling came from the same place that whole universe came from when it suddenly, for no reason and no purpose, popped into existence. Yes, both are equally possible, I absolutely agree. But, the scientific adherents are just so gosh darn certain their out of nothing is the right…

Really? I kinda thought it touched on it a little. Sorry. I'll go back to believing you, I and everything else just popped out of nothingness, for absolutely no reason or purpose.
