Pink flamingos prove Creationism.

You are simply ignorant about how any choosing works. For people choosing it works the same way as out in nature. The science will just denote the different ways the brain can turn out and how the decision is made. There is no reference to any agency doing the choosing for people either. It is simply categorically a subjective issue.
I don't understand your "choosing" argument, or how it relates to creationism v evolution.
What you say is just evidence that you reject subjectivity because of evolution theory.
That's absurd.
I'm a big fan of subjectivity.
It works when objectivity fails me.

Have I ever had it?
Does the Pope wear a big hat.....does a bear make dookie in the woods....is a greased Scotsman fast?
The drier & stronger the better!

I was going to give you a frubal but forgot how to do it-- proof that the memory is the second thing to go.

Seriously, how do you do it?

You've been doing it.
The <like> button is the replacement for the <frubal> in this new system.

Obviously pink flamingos prove creationism. The odds of something like that in a materialist zeitgeist are laughably small. Actually, the ''odds'' of plain materialism are laughably small in general. ''Oh but it could happen''. Well, purple unicorns on Mars could happen as well.

How do you go from "pink flamingos" to "someone must have created them"?

.... choosing is the mechanism of creation. duh.......................................
Since I don't believe in creationism, I don't see that gods are making choices about evolution of species.
As for the "duh" comment, I'll point out that you've been lacking in clarity in stating your case.
One ought not chalk up the resulting problems as due to other posters' shortcomings.

It wasn't shown to be wishful thinking. That's where your making a mistake. The DIR is addressing Creationism, you still have that to overcome
It doesn't even do that. A flamingo being pink means it is eating healthy, as the stuff from the a diet of shrimp turn its feathers pink. Really, in a way, it sorta acts the same as a human who eats a diet rich in fat being overweight and having clogged arteries.

Does the color even matter?
If being pink is proof of creationism, then white flamingos would be proof of the same caliber.
Any color is consistent with creationism. And therein lies the problem with it, ie, creationism
cannot be disproven because it makes no testable predictions.

Some types of creationism, no, but typically when someone is speaking of creationism they mean that everything was created by God, as is, six-to-ten thousand years ago, which is easily disproven.
But I did realize pink flamingos do definitively prove one old saying: you are what you eat.

How do you go from pink flamingos to "there is no way they were created but it is obvious that they happened randomly"?

Where did I use the sentence "there is no way..." In any of my posts? I am not even dead sure that bue fairies do not exist, are you?

It is entirely possible that pink flamingos have been created. I just wonder how they can prove creationism at all. Does the creator like pink, for some reason?

Got it. Mean I've been giving you frubals and didn't realize it?!:( How do I take all of them back en masse?
You can't.
You've contributed to my embarrassment of frubal riches.
Soon, I shall have more than any other RF poster in history!
Boooowhwhahahahahahahhahhahahah, etc!

Either way, everything just poofed into existence, lol, at some point. I'm not sure how my claim is false but yours isn't.
When did I claim your claim was false?
What claim of mine are you claiming I claimed is not false?

Perhaps you have me confused with another member?

Is there such a term as "frubal-maniac"? If not, you read it here first!

So, your position is that it essentially happened randomly, right? Somehow all the elements came together, and now we have pink flamingos?

The probabilities are not good for randomness, in this argument.

What are the probabilities?

Very, very, bad. Trying to computate that is a feat unto itself. Let me put it this way, it's worse than the usual numbers offered, because those would tend to give a benefit of doubt to /0/ . In the ''real world'', the probabilities are astoundingly bad./ie in the real world no one gives benefit of doubt to /0/ in a similar context./
just my opinion!;)
