[More questions for evolutionists]
Why does the water on the earth just happen to be around for animals to drink it?

I mean, why are we alive in an environment suited to our continued survival if evolution, which states exactly that we adapt to survive in our current environment, is supposed to be true?
Um....because it was here before life arose, and life arose in it, and therefore adapted to utilize it?every coincidence or fortutious event or cause-and-effect relationship always have to be reduced to "it could only happen if God did it." Maybe that's true, but there are a lot of other, simpler explanations.
Yeah, it's crazy how the preeminent liquid on the planet is _also_ the preeminent liquid within animal bodies!
. . . imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, "This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!" This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise. I think this may be something we need to be on the watch out for.
I'm surprised only #17 was listed here because she posted herself a laundry list of questions for evolutionists (none of which she thought of herself because she just isn't this articulate; but mostly because I've seen this before elsewhere):"1) Which animal was the first animal in existence and please provide proof for your claims.
2) Which animals "evolved" from which animals and please provide proof for your claims
3) What year was the first animal formed?
4) From what did the first animal form and how was the first heart, liver, stomach, brain formed? Please explain in detail.
5) When did man begin to speak?
6) How many homonids roamed the planet?
7) How long did each transitional species live and please provide proof for your claims.
8) Why did the transitional species die out and the ape still remain?
9) How many common ancestors are there and what did they look like?
10) From what did the first living oranism arise?
11) How did water form?
12) How did heat and fire form?
13) How did the stars form?
14) Which particle of matter was the first particle and how did it move without a force to move it?
15) How did the billions of neurons in the first animal happen to line up so the animal could function in its environment?
16) Why does the food on the earth just happen to provide nourishment for all living things?
17) Why does the water on the earth just happen to be around for animals to drink it?
18) How did the sun happen to be positioned to give the earth the appropriate amount of hear and light?
19) How do scientists know if the the converse of E=MCsquared works in order to create the "Big Bang" if they haven't tested it to know if that's how the earth was formed??
Carico, if you read "The Last Continent", you'll learn that water actually chases people and animals around underground, for when they need to drink. Especially in the Outback.
Do these people not understand that any one of those questions is an entire research topic?! You give the simplistic classroom answer, and they pump you for more information. You can't possibly give them a thorough answer because a) they're not intelligent enough to understand and b) no-one in their right mind would waste that much time typing out thesis answers for a fundie.really
Even though he was a religious man, I'd like to paraphrase Nasredin Hodja here in re that list of questions.
Yeah. And why do our faces just happen to have noses on them to hold up our spectacles? Could evolution have done that? Heck no! Obviously, an intelligent designer knew that those of us with weak eyes would need noses to hold our glasses up, so he designed us with noses.
Wrong, the animals happen to have managed to grow because they grew on a planet with water. You are thinking backwards.
Here is a question for you, "If the earth can't have formed on its own so it would need a creator, how some the creator doesn't need their own creator?"
"Water is the strong stuff - it carries whales and ships.

Ooh, ooh, I know, I know - pick meeee.

I'm sure you'll get on so well together!

And what purpose do earlobes serve? Especially taking into account Leviticus eh, fundie women who wear earrings - and not the clip-on type, neither?
Another thing that fucks up the whole concept of Biblical 'Creation': if we men weren't meant to have foreskins, why were we born with them in he first place? And if we are meant to be (and of course, we are 'created in God's image'), then who circumcised God?
@Anon-e-moose
"Who circumcised God?" Jeepers, what a brilliant question! I nearly spat coffee all over my keyboard, but if the keyboard had died it would have been well worth the price of a new one. Post of the day, I'd say.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
