David: Then used electrophoresis:

> Romansh:Are you suggesting the phenomena of electrophoresis did not exist about 4 billion years ago? If you are that would be vey foolish of you, David. Now there are other phenomena that might "select" unintelligently. This argument is like saying self sustaining nuclear fission reactors exist today on Earth because of intelligent design, they could not possibly have existed 1.8 billion years ago on Earth because of chance.-This is the weirdest response. Electrophoresis is a recent manmade tool. Nuclear fission can be a natural event.

I will admit disbelievers don't help by using random and chance interchangeably.-I understand that improbable events occur all the time. I observe them regularly. That doesn't mean my comments were wrong. You didn't answer them directly, which to me is your usual sidestep.
