I suspect that you are right.
i have posted questions on christian web sites.
those questions have always been polite and i have never used questionable language.
the questions weren't exactly in support of christians though.. what did i get for my efforts?.

I suspect that you are right.
please take pity on me someone and help.. i was going to say that i suffer from aspergers syndrome but actually, i've come to rather enjoy it.. no, seriously, i really do have aspergers which is why my posts may seem a little odd to some of you.
ok, they may seem bloody odd to most of you.. my world exists in a binary frame.
things are or they are not.. i know that in the "real world" things might be or might not be as well as are and are not.

Ask any scientist to estimate the chances of the aforementioned happening and it becomes unrealistic.
Please go away and read about science.
Then read about evolution.
Then read about statistical probability.
Then, instead of putting all of these in the context of the "next ten minutes", try placing them in the context of "millions or even billions of years".
Then, you might finally see that, given the time scales involved, even events which are astronomically low in probability become highly probable.
That's the problem with religtards. They take statements and place them in the wrong context deliberately so that people are deliberately misled.
Yes, the possibility that life would develop anywhere in the universe is remote at best and any scientist will tell you that.
Yes, given how long the universe has existed (13,800,000,000 years) and how vast it really is and how many accidental attempts must have been made to create life, it's not surprising that life developed somewhere in the universe. See the Drake equation folks. In fact, it's more than probable that life exists elsewhere in the universe, not just on Earth. AND SCIENTISTS WILL TELL YOU THIS TOO - except that Tenacious isn't telling us this part of the story. He just tells us the part that he wants us to hear and which supports his version of the truth. That is typical religtard tactics.
Oh, and for the record, only 9% of scientists here in the UK believe in god and that number is falling.
Ain't that so Tenacious?
so man was made by god in his image was he?.
so the human body was intelligently designed was it?.
you are kidding me !!.

What I think we can conclude for sure is that, wether God or evolution are the catalyst for the creation of man, the location of your butt-hole is not definite evidence of either one and neither is DNA.
God either created the universe and all that it contains, just as the babble tells us, or he started the wheels in motion.
Regardless, we aren't talking about the guy down the road who works for a local builder and who knocked up a conservatory for his wife in his spare time. We are talking about god. The entity that built the universe or caused the universe to be built in 6 days.
If the god entity is able to create a whole universe in 6 days or set the wheels in motion that achieved it, then I would have expected him not to have built a pleasure beach next to the sewage works and I would have expected him to have made a better job of the pharynx and DNA and lots of other stuff associated with the human body. Even if he just set the wheels in motion, he ought to have been smart enough to know what those wheels would have created. To state otherwise is just simply illogical.
My feeling is that one can determine the existence of god based on the location of the but hole and DNA alone for they smack most definitely of evolution rather than of intelligent design because, quite frankly, there's nothing remotely intelligent about the location of the butt hole and DNA. They are functional, just. They do what is intended of them, just, but they also do things which they aren't supposed to do and that's exactly the kind of thing that one would expect from evolution.
The reason why religtards point to universe and biological entities and claim that they are god's work and god's creation is because they know naff all about science. They know nothing of the evolutionary processes and even less about statistical probability. If they did, they wouldn't believe the shyte that their elders pour down their throats and consequently not believe that god created the universe 6,000 years ago in 6 days.

Also, go to Youtube and type "Richard Carrier". This will bring up numerous videos. Take ya pick and enjoy.

Galaxies crashing into one another may be fine just as long as no life exists in any of them. If life does exist then that's just tough because god wants to see what happens when galaxies do collide. But, as you quite rightly point out, who can know.

Of course I believe in evolution. I'll read the reference you posted and get back to you. I'm obliged.

Please feel free to wade in - even if you have nothing to offer (which I doubt anyway).
Carrier doesn't dissect the scriptures so much as dissects all that was going on before, during and after jesus supposedly lived. He puts the whole lot into context and dissects it as a whole rather than the piecemeal effort I read in a lot of books.
I'm not saying Carrier is right but there's a lot that makes sense if one accepts that jesus never existed here on Earth.
