You try being good at engineering with fewer neurons than DimBulb.

You're an idiot. You should be embarrassed about your absolutely
pathetic behavior.

First, you'll have to go look up the word pathetic, because you are so
pathetic that I am certain that you are too stupid to know its meaning.

Shouldn't all the order and complexity in life and the universe make someone
embarrassed that they believe it all came about by chance.

Are there poisonous snakes because they survived better than non-poisonous
snakes?
If so, why are there more non-poisonous snakes than poisonous snakes?
So some snakes got fangs with a hole in them to deliver venom that kills the
prey but doesn't harm the snake. How many billions of species of snakes
died from venom evolving in them? Did the venom evolve before or after the
fangs? So, why all the complexity of venom and fangs when non-venomous
snakes survive as well as or better than venomous snakes?

So what about teeth? Why did teeth just pop out of our gums on top and
bottom so we could chew our food? It isn't like teeth just pop out
everywhere. Are you suggesting that those that got teeth that helped them
chew food survived better than those with teeth coming out of their
forehead?

How did vital organs evolve? On the evolution of birds, how did the animals
limb evolve to be a good wing before becoming a bad limb? How about
butterflies? How did they evolve to that a caterpillar would go in a sack
and turn into a butterfly? Did that happen at once or how did the
caterpillar reproduce on incomplete cycles as it evolved?

So a question for you, do you think electronics should be intelligently
designed or that you should just put a bunch of components in a box, shake
them up, and see what you get? Do you just take some components, solder
them together, and hope you get something useful? Maybe see what it evolves
into? If it doesn't work, throw it away and try again? Or do you think
complex things should be intelligently designed?

OK, so I've heard about your designs, maybe you should try intelligent
design sometime :-)

DimBulb, yes.
