Can creationists PLEASE stop using the watchmaker analogy as an argument for design? [Spirituality & Religion]
It doesn't make any sense and refutes itself

Theists I can accept but Creationists are a completely different species.

@mykonos: what i am going to ask is not to be mean ,just a question
and based on your statement Theists I can accept but Creationists are a completely different species.
so indulge me for a minute if you will ,and i hope you can at least come away saying at least one of us Creationists ,showed you some respect
if evolution is so great ,and we are what we have evolved to be ,
then why do you have a problem with looking down ,and being happy with who you have evolved to be ?unless you have both sets of genitals evolution picked you to be one or the other ,,,right ?your DNA says which you are ,,your hips are not gender interchangeable,your pelvis bone says your are one or the other
if that is how evolution said you should be ,who are you to question it ,even if you only have one eye ,no genitals and you are green ?
Personally ,I do not judge you by sex ,I only care how you treat me and people I love ,and I do ask some respect ,I did not get this old by accident ,I paid my dues and lived a long hard life with lots of hard work and a lot of loss and pain .
You see I do not care what sex you want to be
Who you identify with as long as you do not push your values on my son ,
he knows he was born a boy .looks like his Dad ,has his Grandpa's name ,,so until someone tries to screw him up ,,he is happy with that ,He has no desire to be a girl
I am happy you know who you are
now can you see my problem ?we have had a problem ,all his friends tried to tell him he is gay because we love everyone ,thats what he has been taught ,no color is better then another ,other religions have their opinions and thats ok ,,some do not believe in God ,thats ok too ,do not push your beliefs on others ,even if you think they are wrong ,some will say you are wrong too ,
but when he is told he is gay because he "Loves Boys " not as in sex ,but with love and compassion for others ,,then I had to explain to a 6 yr old he is not gay ,and he is fine being a boy ,but he has lots of girls who like him ,,he is cute ,and smart ,gay has to do with sex ,right now sex is the least of your problems ,you are at school to learn ,not side with groups who have never had sex ,but someone has told them they are gay because right now they get along better with boys then girls ,my son and grandson are the only 2 boys in our family in a sea of girls ,they know they are boys ,but
If I want to hear from an invisible friend ,and I am not forcing that on you
who are you to even question that or try to teach me otherwise ?
I could say look down ,that will solve your problem,,
you transgender really blow my mind ,can't look down and see what you are ,
but i won't ,,I will show you some respect
its up to you to figure out what makes you a better person and happy ,not me
Only God can get you to see I mean you no harm ,maybe get you to see the good in me that I feel was put in me by something greater then me
Only that power can make you wonder could he be right ,to turn a man so full of hate ,who has lived through so much into a man who cares about others and how they feel ,,cares when they hurt ,when they feel alone ,and helps them in any way he can
all I can do by arguing with you about religion and gender ,and make you avoid me
and in the end we both loose ,
there may have been something you could have taught me that has nothing to do with religion or gender
but we lost the chance ,gender and religion got in the way
see I should reflect what I believe by how I treat you ,not beat you with a Bible and I hope you get there is more to life then what genitals you have
