“Gays have always been in the military. Alexander the Great was originally Alexander the Fabulous. A gay man invented C-rations. He claims he could never talk anyone into the cilantro garnish. Obviously, gays were not allowed to design the outfits, because we never would have stayed with the earth tones for so long.” MenLongEarthMilitaryDesignGayClaimsSexualityToneFabulousGay MenOutfitsRations Book:Don't Get Me Started Source: Don't Get Me Started
“I think nobody would claim that random genetic drift is capable of producing adaptation, that is to say the illusion of design. Random genetic drift can't produce wings that are good at flying, or eyes that are good at seeing, or legs that are good at running. But random genetic drift probably is very important in driving evolution at the molecular genetic level.” ThinkingImportantEyeRunningLevelsSeeingDesignProduceEvolutionCapableIllusionClaimsWingsLegsDrivingFlyingAdaptation Author:Richard Dawkins

“Yet is it possible in terms of the motion of atoms to explain how men can invent an electric motor, or design and build a great cathedral? If such achievements represent anything more than the requirements of physical law, it means that science must investigate the additional controlling factors, whatever they may be, in order that the world of nature may be adequately understood.” IfsMenWorldMayMeanActionLawScienceOrderTermFailingDesignAchievementUnderstoodClaimsFactorsAtomsElectricOrganismsRequirementsMotorCathedralsUniversalityLiving OrganismsElectric Motors Author:Arthur Compton
