Re: Evolution Deniers

Shuffle a deck of cards and pick any five randomly.

The odds of you getting that specific sequence of cards are 1 in over
14 billion.

Yet you just did it, didn't you.

People like you make the mistake of starting with the end result,
thinking about the odds of humans evolving. You don't consider the fact
that we didn't HAVE to evolve, something else could have just as easily
evolved in our place. Even if we hadn't evolved, SOMETHING would have,
it doesn't matter what.
