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.

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 :-) RogerN
