The intellectual atheist claims that he's done away with the need for God.
But in reality, he's created for himself this pantheon of his own gods.
Seriously?

The three supreme deities, being the god of natural selection.
Uh, no, natural selection is an observation.
It's not God, it's
- The god of time. - Wait, are you saying time doesn't exist?
Or are you saying we worship time somehow?
And the god of spontaneous generation.
No one believes in spontaneous generation anymore; knock it off.
Now, when he's questioned how an amoeba could, say, turn into an ape...
Amoebas didn't turn into apes.
Learn how evolution works before opening your ignorant mouth.
Or a molecule into a man.
Wow, you
He invokes his first god.
- Well, Mother Nature selects. - Citation needed, bro.
And natural selection, along with mutations, will just bring about this change.
Since the changes you posited are strawmen that
Mutation and natural selection are how life

Which is why you

When he's questioned why we've never seen this transformation from one kind of a creature into another...
We have!
All you do is repeat this
so you can just redefine it after the fact. We've seen this for
No one with a brain is falling for it anymore.
He invokes his second god.
Just give it enough time, he claims, and time will somehow work its magic.
Again, citation needed. You're just making up crap with no citations to back it up.
When he's questioned how life first began, he places his faith in the supernatural god of spontaneous generation.
No, it's abiogenesis. You keep renaming it to spontaneous generation
to try and associate it with a previously debunked and completely unrelated theory.
You see, eons ago, life suddenly and accidentally popped into existence.
Not what they claim, either.
For a good example of abiogenesis research, check out the work of Dr. Jack Szostak.
He's demonstrated the spontaneous formation of stable vesicles under conditions that existed in the early Earth,
and he's also demonstrated how nucleotides can become captured and selected.
He's even demonstrated a primitive version of cell division
using nothing more than the mechanical forces and simple convection currents near hydrothermal vents.
So what's your response to
He attempts to patch each unobservable phenomenon of his theory.
They
Building out a pantheon of supernatural deities and invoking miracles
based not on laws, physics, or scientific principles, but on faith.
You know, it's funny. Not only do you
scientifically demonstrated phenomena are "miracles not based on laws of physics,"
even though they're
but you also try to say that they're using faith, and in the process you use the word faith as a pejorative.
So clearly, you
A faith that seems to be clung to with the fervor and even religiosity of the most devout evangelist,
and unquestioned faith in his beliefs that, when challenged,
is met with hatred, disdain, and pompous arrogance.
Then why does that
Why didn't it happen to, for example, Dr. Lynn Margulis,
when she posited endosymbiosis for the origin of eukaryotic cells, a non-Darwinian process?
How was she eventually able to get her theory into textbooks?
I'll tell you how: She
She made scientific tests that confirmed it.
And other scientists redid those tests and came to the same conclusion.
If there were

Maybe because you

It's challenged all the time, in actual scientific papers published in actual scientific journals,
and the results are all sorts of extra-Darwinian processes, like epigenetics, epistasis, polyphenism,
pleiotropy, phenotypic plasticity, and many others.
Darwin's original concepts are just a
And yet, you're acting like scientists treat Darwin like some kind of god that can't be refuted.
Well, tell me this: Why hasn't science accepted Gemmule Theory?
That was Darwin's proposal for our traits to become inherited,
which was discarded in favor of Mendelian inheritance.
Why? Because that's what the evidence showed!
You know, his unfaltering blind faith in miraculous gods of nature is, dare I say it, his religion.
Where do you place your faith?
I place my faith in creationists being
Truly, the heavens declare the glory of God.
