Although we'd all prefer to entrust our lives to a
Boeing 747 complete with all its myriad parts in
perfect working order, a plane that has lost even
major pieces of equipment, like one or two of its
engines, can still fly. - Richard Dawkins

No 747 without a Wright Flyer 70 years before it.
Successful designs, like species, are the
product of a long line of evolutionary change.

Or turn all that water into wine.
Of coruse Broil is facile into turning any subject into whine.

Theists demonstrate to us every day the ability of people to believe their
fantasies are real!

Nice play. I wonder if it is harder to walk on water or change it
into wine? Jesus doesn't say.

I can turn wine into water! Does that count? Of course, the water has a
bit of salt and urea mixed into it.

Imagination is just that, imagination. It enables us to create, but does not establish objective reality.
If I believe the Earth is flat, as everyone once did, that would still be incorrect - though religious nutcases like you might want to torture or kill me for my knowledge because it denies their fantasies.
See what RELIGION does to peoples' minds?
Adults no longer believe in the Tooth Fairy - but they still torture and kill each other over ancient myths and superstitions.
"We all remember how many religious wars were fought for a religion of love and gentleness; how many bodies were burned alive with the genuinely kind intention of saving souls from the eternal fire of hell." --- Karl Popper
"When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion, it is called Religion."
--- Robert M. Pirsig
Either God wants to abolish evil and cannot, or he can but does not want to. If he wants to but cannot he is impotent. If he can but does not want to, he is wicked. If he neither can nor wants to, then he is both powerless and wicked.
--- Epicurus, Greek philosopher, circa 300 B.C.
"Act of God" disasters like the Japanese earthquake expose the myth. Either God can do nothing to stop catastrophes like this, or he doesn't care to, or he doesn't exist. He is thus either impotent, evil, or imaginary.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion."
--- Steven Weinberg, quoted in The New York Times, April 20, 1999
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful."

Moses and Jesus were walking along the beach reminising.
Moses says let me see if I still have it and he cast his staff into
the water and sure enough the waters parted as they did the red sea.
Jesus says watch this so he took a few steps out into the water and
sunk like a rock.
Dissmayed he said I cant figure this out.
Moses replied you forgot,when you first did that,you did not have
those holes in your feet!
