[Sure, here is a real simple one for you:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon_eating_bacteria
Nylon didn't exist until 1935. Did the hand of God reach down and touch the waters of Japan, spontaneously creating a new form of bacteria? No, the old forms had a mutation that allowed some of them to break it down. Those with the mutation survived and reproduced. Those without it died. The bacteria evolved.
I am not going to do your research for you. There are literally hundreds of example of species change in the past 150 years since the theory was developed.]
Who designed the bacteria to do this? You still fail to think outside the box.

I think you fail to see the point here.
Listen, God or no God, your results look the same. So I'm inclined to believe the testable, observable facts.
Besides, you fundies always say there is no observable evidence, yet you post a link showing exactly that. Are fundies so short on intelligence that everything just flies over their head?
"Who designed the bacteria to do this? You still fail to think outside the box."
No, YOU still fail to acknowledge that the "box" (i.e., science) is the method that actually works , and you insist on going nowhere near it.
Why does the bacteria have to have been designed? If it is capable of evolving the need for design is obviously not necessary.
Also, you are a fucking idiot.
"You still fail to think outside the box."
Which is okay when everything outside of the box is either unknown, retarded, or both.
Gear is one thing, then there's how you play the game. I think I've played him before, he sucks and I say this as a clothie (Elastria, Priest, Arathor) with not the greatest gear herself.
The only thing he posted that was even remotely appropriate was "fail."
Even more so since the comment he was replying to gave a brief explanation of why design isn't needed. I'm assuming that these people don't actually read the things they argue against.

"Immerzen's gear is actually very very low quality compared to what is readily available currently in game." Oh, sure, if you're in a hardcore raiding guild with DKP and mandatory raid attendance. Or in an 1850-rated Arena team.
For the rest of us mere mortals, though, if it's an Epic, it's good gear.
(Assuming you're not using, say, a Merciless Gladiator's Gavel on a warrior or rogue, of course. That would just be stupid.)
Ah ... here it is ... right there in the good ol' Authorized Pull-It-Out-Of-Your-Ass Bible®:
"And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creatures to eat nylon: and it was so. And the evening and the morning were the 2,169,207th day ..."
I guess Immerzen's Bible is missing the part where it says "And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."

Oh, it's better than that. Adaptability is a characteristic that can be selected for, same as anything else. Baldwin's principle (though largely discarded) stated that individuals with greater 'plasticity' in form or behaviour will have an advantage over the more slowly adapting.
It's found a bit of favour again recently (it was proposed in 1896) as an explanation for (a) some fairly rapid adaption in some populations under study, and (b) an explanation for the survival value of nascent intelligence.
So who designed bacteria to adapt to eating nylon? No-one, those bacteria less able to adapt have long since been outcompeted.
"Who "
No one, shit-for-brains.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
