    As I said, personal experience. I’m not sure how I was insulting anyone else’s beliefs. That’s literally why I believe in intelligent design: I believe that evolution is mathematically impossible.

      If you think that the theory of evolution puts forth the any argument like Taj Mahal coming from a messy room, then you don’t understand the theory of evolution.

      Evolution does not “boil down” to that.

      It is insulting because it downplays the theory to the point of “to believe this would be absurd and stupid” which obviously has implications for its believers.

      Imagine an atheist stated: “I am an atheist because intelligent design boils down to: if you leave your room empty for 6000 years, a magic fairy will appear and create the Taj Mahal”. Can you see how this is not only just an outright false statement, but also making a mockery of those who believe?
