When science can explain an apple seed...
When science can explain this, then, and only then, will I listen to their nonsense on evolution.
You see if they can't tell me how an apple seed works then they have a lot of audacity to tell me how I came into being....

Well science told me how the apple seed grows into a tree in the late 1970s, when I was about 12 or 13 years old.
I'd be more interested in how a person with a wonderful, complex human brain, can become an wilful ignoramus.
Me! Me! I know the answer to this. In between guiding the motions and directing the positions of trillions and squilliions of subatomic particles, which are actually godions, Bible God, via His super-cosmic magic, causes apple seeds to germinate. He does this because a squintillienth of a gazillienth of a second is like a couple of billion years to Him.
How do we know? Because much experimentation and much theorizing has been done in Sunday Schools and churches all over the world. Copious information was gathered in religious torture chambers until the amount of data was enough to formulate a working frothology of sufficient rabidity to establish a profound droolation explicit to apple seeds.
Also, abracadabra and other highly advanced stentorian voice-over effects which are the result of many years of eternal existence and invisibility.
DNA. That is all.
A human seed, i.e. the mixture of a sperm and an egg, "knows" to grow a human, using DNA as well.
This is not evolution, btw, but basic biological reproduction.
DNA recipe that controls under what conditions cells should divide and sets up those conditions.
That, and gravity (so the tree grows up instead of down into the ground).

If apples didn't have seeds, the tree would have no decendents. Only apples with seend can make more apple trees.

If you can't show me the giant man with a long white beard who lives on clouds then you have a lot of audacity to tell me goddiddit.

Bullshit. You'll keep the blinders on with your head buried in the sand and your fingers in your ears saying "La la la la la I can't hear you!" like creationists keep doing every time they're presented with science that contradicts the bible.
The science is out there already if you'd only bother to look. But I know all too well that as soon as it's explained to you you'll keep finding fault with it or keep asking, "but how does it know?"
Thanks to all you folks for pointing out the huge scientific errors contained in Setyoufree's attempt to explain the growth of a tree from a seed as being possible only through some sort of religious intervention. In the end, Setyoufree is an embarrassingly stupid piece of faux-wisdom best preserved for snake-handling congregations who "know" there is nothing in this world that is not contained in the Bible.
Did this person take some hits of acid before writing this? How does the seed know? Like, whoa, man! Seriously, dude... You're blowing my mind, here.
There are people that spend years of their lives studying biology. They spend years at schools. They spend years in labs. They research. They conduct experiments. They submit their work to others, who test and retest and review and point out what is wrong and clarify the details.
wizard god did it!" It simply means that we don't know, and the highest goal for humankind at that point is to follow it with "... but let's go find out. "
It doesn't know--appleseeds aren't sentient.
It grows into an apple tree because unthinking natural processes (gene expression, translation, protein/protein interactions, etc.) take place under suitable trigerring conditions.
One of the absolute dumbest posts I've ever seen, and one of the dumbest rants against science I've seen since Bill O'Reilly's tide comment.
You can believe in God and Jesus without being a dumbass you know.
You really don't want the answer to this question do you? I went over to Christianforums and saw the usual tact fundies take when claiming "Goddidit". People provide you the answers but you are not willing to accept them because you really don't want to actually have to learn something.
All you want to do is play "Stump the Evilutionist" and declare victory in full view of your fellow fundies. Amirite?

Only when you take the time and effort to seek out the explanation and understand it will anyone care abut your opinion on evolution. Just because something can't be explained to an uneducated fool in five minutes doesn't make it false
yes, seeds , the mystery of ... oh wait..
grade school science text book ... wow amazing ..
You are acting confidently that there exists no scientific explanation. Why? Just because you don’t comprehend it doesn’t mean that there’s no detailed explanation. I’m getting the feeling that you have a lot of education to catch up on, considering that the way a seed functions has been well known for a while now.

A film based on a shit anime about some gay blonde who has sex with robots? No thanks."
Cyborg - Briareos - a male (thus still biological ), and thus annihilating your own argument in one stroke.

Your call. >:D
Try looking up how it works, jackass. Or you could have listened in science class. Yes they can explain it. They also have explanations for why people do the intellectual equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and saying lalala, which you are doing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
