Who here believes that Mt Rushmore was created over millions of years of erosion and just happened to end up perfectly resembling, what would have been at the time, four future US presidents?

Does anyone here think that it would be crazy to believe such a theory?
Please, someone explain to me how I make my signature :LOL:

It's easy go into your settings.

But I'll tell you what don't be a moron aye, it sounds purposefully outlandish to make a point, because if anyone thinks that's stupid, then it's infinitely more stupid to believe a cell could have come about on its own, let alone a full organ, let alone a full body, let alone other bodies, let alone an ecosystem, let alone a solar system, a galaxy and a Universe.

No, your point about Rushmore is idiotic. How can you compare the evolution of the ecosystem and the evolution of the species to adapt to it, to carved mountains of already known faces? It has no point of reference whatsoever.

Mt Rushmore is infinitely less complicated than a living cell. It's very relevant.

You have cases that pop up daily showing rocks or trees which assemble Jesus face or any other symbolic icon related to religion, do you think it is stupid?

There exists a non-material world, better yet, the material world itself is not even material at it's lowest level, it's simply a "fog" or "myst" (refer to quantum physics)

You don't see the point do you? The living cells evolved to survive whatever conditions were around them. Mt. Rushmore was carved with a human hand to look like previous presidents. How the hell is that relevant?

BTW this was be explained by using probability theories which is an important a part of mathematics, mathematics that you were criticizing for its lack of ability to explain the world one page ago.

The point of relevance is as follows:

Is it possible that over the period of millions of years, that erosion could have cause something similar to Mt Rushmore? Carved out human faces of real human beings?

I'm not insinuating that mathematics should be done with, just that it doesn't provide a full explanation in and of itself. Scientism reduces everything to simple numbers.
