It is a gross distortion of statistical mathematics to use it as an argument

against biological evolution. The functions of the human body did not "just come together". That is classic strawman, since it is not actually refuting any rational notion of evolution at all. No biologist believes things just happened. There is always cause and effect.

You may be right. But you haven't actually presented any argument here, just assured us that one exists.

I can take evolution or leave it. I'm not a scientist so I can't prove it one way or the other. People who *are* scientists tell me that the theory has a lot going for it, so I assume that they more or less know what they're talking about.

But you guys who have so much emotion points invested in the thing, that it's a sin to ever question or doubt it, are the ones that scare me. You've turned it from a good science into a bad religion.
