Great, now where's the demonstration of that?

[gnostic]

A fly, a tree, a rose, a jellyfish, a dolphin, a flea, an elephant, a dinosaur are blood relatives to each other?
It sounds absurd. How could a rose be a relative to a flea?

How is biology more absurd than lifeless dust turning a living human adult male?

Or more absurd than a snake and a donkey speaking in the human language?

Or more absurd than a bunch of zombie saints brought to life when Jesus died?

52 The tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many.

If you want absurdity, then read God’s rhetorical replies in Job 38 to 41, where god is is even more ignorant and superstitious about nature than the ancient readers.

Yes.

It sounds absurd

Not if you are aware of a bit of base evolutionary biology 101.

How could a rose be a relative to a flea?

Through evolution.

Also: argument from incredulity.

Common design equals common creator if you have common sense.

If you use common sense to try and answer questions about the objective world - especially while ignorant about the processes that govern that world, many times you will end up with the wrong answer.

This is such an instance.

Also: equivocation fallacy.

No, that's nonsense.
I can't find anything that exists that has function but no creator.
Even the simplest machine you can imagine doesn't invent itself.
Of course what we actually have in DNA is infinity more complex. To believe it happened by accident is laughable.

The cat uses the sharp rock to rub against it so that it can scratch places it can't reach with its limbs.

There you go. Function for the sharply shaped random rock, with no need for a creator.

Function is accomplished by circumstances all the time.

What's a looser? Someone that reduces the tightness of things?

That's absurdic!

There you go. Function for the sharply shaped random rock, with no need for a creator.

Of course there's a need for a creator to give the cat enough brains to think of using a rock. Created function once again.

Bare assertion once again, while ignoring the point made.
