Once what I see is applied to a designer then I know that I can study what I see since now it has a purpose and an intelligent mind behind it showing me that it is worth study. But if things just happened by chance, no design then it would be senseless studying it since it might all change tomorrow. An evolutionist can never know if his data will change tomorrow since things just randomly came together in the beginning. I can see that to an evolutionist there would be really nothing to study since there are no absolutes.

So when we say evolution takes millions of years for the changes to become apparent in living things you hear "shit changes randomly all the time".
I state again...if it was intelligently designed, why do changes happen reactively, then, as opposed to anticipating a change? If God is guiding the course of all life on this planet, then changes should occur before environmental shifts.
Actually, if evidence shows otherwise, which is quite common, science has the capacity of reinventing. And it works, this computer you're typing in is the living proof.
Poor little strawman. What did it ever do to you?
GigaGuess--Holy crap, I hadn't thought of that! Genius.
It's pointless to study art because there are still artists out there who are working in a very experimental capacity, changing the face of art, sometimes even changing what 'art' means?
Or, perhaps it's pointless to study language since we don't speak the same now as we did in the 16th century, and language will likely change again in the future.
Maybe all those people who studied engineering to design cars were wasting their time because new knowledge about aerodynamics came along which changed the way cars were designed.
I could go on, but is it really worth it?
So the people who study things don't actually have anything to study, but the people who don't do any studying have great things to study. Because God told me so. And it doesn't matter that we're talking about the same studies because what matters is what I believe about the subject being studied, not what the studying actually reveals. Because God told me so.
Got it.

Think about it. Evolution, at it's basest nature, is reactive. A change in the environment occurs, the populace, generally anyways, shifts to adapt. if it was intelligently guided, whould it not be the other way around?
Eh, that's not so good, GigaGuess. The fundy response would just be:
"But God preventively put the ability to survive an environmental change in certain individuals - the most Godly ones."
Which is stupid, but it's what they'd say.
There's absolutely no value in studying something that formed from random chaos, for instance, a hurricane.
Nosirree, we stand nothing to gain whatsoever by predicting their path. Because it can always change >.<
@Stogoe
Yeah, but clamping their eyes shut and screaming "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA CAN NOT HEAR YOU LA LA LA!" is their number one defense against facts anyways, so it's moot any way you cut, slice, or dice it.
“But if things just happened by chance, no design then it would be senseless studying it since it might all change tomorrow.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
