::::::: If the laws of thermodynamics apply here, then the [[molecular biology]] of living creatures should not be getting more complex as time goes on. "As usable energy is irretrievably lost, disorganization, randomness and chaos increase." [http://www.allaboutscience.org/second-law-of-thermodynamics.htm] How do evolution's advocates (especially the atheists) explain the increased complexity and organization which we see in the [[fossil record]], when the theory which all scientists accept predicts instead an increase of randomness and chaos? (See also, [[Entropy]]) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 23:05, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

::::::::Interesting take Ed. The way I was taught is that man is an animal and still the same flesh and bone as an animal but has been blessed with the spirit of the lord. [[User:MaxFletcher|MaxFletcher]] 23:11, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

:::::::::I think we may have strayed somewhat from the original point. The item should be removed from the list because it is not in any way a counterexample to evolution. The reasons are as follows: 1. Evolution says nothing at all about the existence of religion in either man or animals. Evolutionary theory is a biological theory aimed at explaining the diversity of life on Earth. The fact that man is also the only species observed to play poker, bungee jump or run for political office are also, likewise, irrelevant to the truth or otherwise of evolutionary theory. 2. As was pointed out above, the obvious reason that animals do not display religious behaviour is that "they have not developed advanced language sufficient to create religious doctrine and they have not developed building techniques sufficient to build churches, mosques, synagogues or temples of Athena". Furthermore, even if animals did posses religious reverence what would that look like exactly? I don't speak squirrel so I can't really say if they are saying prayers or just squeaking randomly. The whole thing is just too silly for words. --[[User:CecilQ|CecilQ]] 01:22, 25 March 2011 (EDT)
