My observation is that the god of atheists & evolutionists is TIME.

Their statement of faith?

“Given enough TIME, everything is possible”

“The probability is very low you say? Well, just give it more TIME...”

There’s actually a 2nd “god” in their pantheon: CHANCE. TIME and CHANCE are their dual deities.

If a system were completely random, how long would it take for a complex organism to develop?

Probably not a valid argument or example but I remember the example of the Infinite Monkey Theorem from my college Physics. How long would it take for a monkey to randomly punching the keys on a typewriter to produce the complete works for Shakespeare. Actually, when we computed it, it was Hamlet and it took longer than the existence of the known universe. 10^12 years? I don’t remember the exact number.

The point is that a truly random system will never get started in the first place let alone survive the millions of successive steps to success. Especially when each step may result in disaster and failure.

Funny, Liberals say the same thing about their programs. Just give it more time (and money). We just know there’s a pony underneath all this horse s***.

Maybe true for male atheists. But I’ve heard that female atheists have a god whose name is “Yes.”

If the allowable time is infinity less one second and there are 800 trillion consecutive processes required for evolution to work and all but 30 occur with absolute certainty the probability evolution is responsible for life is just over 4%, given the remaining 30 have a 90% probability. Of course, no natural process in an open system occurs with 100% certainty. These folks need more dimensions than time and space. Looks like they better go back to beating chicken entrails on a rock to summon their god.
