Evolution: think about it.....  go find an object that is complex, organic or not. Take it apart and put it in a bag. Theoretically, if evolution is true, then if you shake that bag every day for the next million years or so, it should reassemble to its original form. IE: You put parts of a cell phone in the bag, it should assemble and successfully call someone if given enough time and shakes. Makes sense to me! NOT          THAT is what evolution declares, and they say we are silly.
