Nice try. But do better. I'm simply looking for "the best explanation" for what we find. You, on the other hand, are looking for any possible answer except the obvious.
Anyone who understands basic biology knows there is an appearance of design... there is a complex integration of systems that breaks down and doesn't work when you remove parts. We see engineers design things all the time. This isn't difficult to comprehend and is why the majority of the human race, now and throughout history has never been close to an atheist majority.
Explain why random events over time is a better explanation that a designer when viewing complex integrated systems. Go ahead.
If we found "welcome to mars" written on the surface of the planet Mars, NO ONE would accept that was random chance. People would say it's anything BUT random chance. They would think it was either humans who did it or aliens. Why? Because those 15 special characters (I'm including the spaces) that appear to relate to the English language are arranged in such a way as to appear to convey a complex idea: information. Could it be chance? I can't prove it's not.
People would call me a fool for believing it occurred from random chance. They would be right.
How did sexual reproduction evolve?
Sexual reproduction involves TWO irreducibly complex systems (male and female) where the component parts of each, in and of themselves, bestow no advantage to the creature. There is no "preferential reproduction" necessary for your foolish theory until all the parts are together and working as an integrated system. Only working together (and with the complementary opposite sex parts) do they amount to anything helpful. How do two independent systems (male and female) that MUST integrate evolve at the same time and the same location so as to accomplish something without design?
You think that's a better answer than design?
If so, you're a fool. That's what the Bible says too. I pray God will open your eyes and save you from yourself and the idiocy of evolution that you only accept because you desperately want it to be true. I really do.

@Soteriology101 People use God all the time to try and get what they want. Are your serious? People abuse the scriptures and the name of Christ constantly - sometime so they can feel better about themselves - look what a good moral person I am. No one seeks Yahweh. They seek other stuff.
@rootcausesleuth God withheld grace that would have kept Adam from sinning and Adam sinned as Adam wanted to. God could have changed his heart. God could have intervened. He did not. He determined Adam would follow his heart into sin. Thankfully God gives new hearts today….
@TheMuppetPastor@5Solas Some will pay for their own sins in hell. Jesus does not “pay” for their sins… they do. Context DOES mean everything and we know from scripture that the blood of Jesus does not cover those who deny him. “Cosmos” in this context does not mean everything individual ever.
@EdMarkey I’ll say it again… people like you are predators preying the ignorant and uninformed. You’re wicked. Go build something that benefits society.
@RepBeccaB Just another parasite politician… taking from people who produce extraordinary value in society and promising it to the masses to feed their own bellies. all the while pretending to be a hero while they prey on the ignorant and feed envy and the worst human attributes. Evil
@ToddAppel@aishahhasnie We have AAA credit rating and almost.$1B fiscal surplus . Our republican leadership isn’t perfect, but we’re not the ones being lied to and ripped off …. But from your bio it’s clear you’re gullible and promote a lot of stupid narratives. Go learn something .
