You disregard my arguments because you think I "can't understand the wording". What you've failed to realize after all our poemranker debates (all of them essentially about this same thing) is that wording has a big effect on the meaning you convey. What you mean to say is you wish I understood your thoughts instead of the words you use to express them.

I CANNOT believe that in some poorly ventilated back corner of your mind you're not clinging to some inexpressible ill-formed notion that evolution is a coherent process with (to exaggerate just a little) a goal of producing creatures with certain characteristics, such as continuing their species better and formulating complex philosophical muckamuck. That's because aside from constantly saying "Don't believe that", you've given me no reason not to. If you really did think evolution was essentially a theory for rationalizing chance phenomena, then you would have realized along time ago that it's utterly pointless to add "we have faith because evolution made us that way" to every conversation you've ever been involved in.
