Feeding a bad troll is not a victimless crime. Please stop.

Apologies.
It is often hard to distinguish between a troll and a true fanatic (Poe's Law).
Fanaticism irks me and I try to respond with logic, even though I know by the definition of a fanatic that it will be fruitless.

Complex systems are certainly possible in evolution, especially when one understands how things like protein facilitators and enzymes work.
You still have nothing to directly point to a designer

yr reply is all mixed up with mine.....but...i'll address this because its probably the most relevant and pertinent;

irreducibly complex, machine-like systems are not possible in evolution;
certainly not in "evolution" as its commonly understood and certainly not without Intelligent intervention;
the Second Law of Thermodynamics mitigates heavily against it and, also, the fact that information cannot originate from any naturalistic-type process;
information required intelligence;
that is a clear deduction using the same sort of methodology that cryptographers, forensic scientists and archaeologists employ!
more-over, the irreducibly complex systems we see in Nature would have to have been all put in place instantaneously and simultaneously for life to survive (you can't have, for instance, a ½-completed blood clotting system)....it has to all be working perfectly from the word "GO!";
the close similarity of biological systems also indicates not many but a single, Omnipotent Designer;
this book goes into that argument in detail;
see, in particular, the sections on "Haldane's Dilemma" and "Nested Hierarchy"

I suppose it is a good thing that this isn't the case.

This is unequivocally false.

Who sees? This literally makes no sense and is entirely made up.

False.

i suggest you get a copy of this book and read it!

oh....BTW....can you cite any example of information or machinery being produced without intelligent intervention?!?  ::)

sheesh!

some of you people on here.....you must have some sort of brain disease or some-thing....Encephalitis or some-thing!

UN-believable!   ::)

Well this (above) must count as information, and I see no sign of intelligence.
Just to be clear, you are all terrific, but everything you say is exactly what a moron would say.
