Archaeology of the New Testament

You aren't actually professing a state of ignorance.
You've already insinuated that you basically know what the answer is: you are 100% certain inanimate, irrational, physical material causes somehow caused a lawfully organized and mathematically rational universe.

The Universe is a random dust cloud. It is not organized at all. No math needed.

I stated that your examples of molars and wisdom teeth, or whatever were not examples of fine tuning, because they do not involve universal mathematical principles.

This isn't a a scientific question.

No, it is a denial of what is.

It's a philosophical question.

You have no idea what philosophy is. Philosophy is not a question.

Either the rational and the material somehow comes from the irrational and the immaterial, or it doesn't.

Science is only the study of process. It doesn't explain the underlying teleological questions. We've been studying gravity for over 500 years, and while we can make accurate predictions about the process and effects of gravity, we still have no idea precisely why mass causes spacetime to deform, or why exactly a precise mathematical universal principle underlies gravity.

Science is not the study of process. That is called 'engineering'.
Teleology is not a question.
Now you deny Newton's law of gravitation?

Provide an example of me ever saying I don't believe in Darwinian evolution.

Darwin did not create the Theory of Evolution, Cyborg. He created the Theory of Natural Selection, which has been falsified, since it creates a paradox.

The Theory of Evolution was created in ancient Greece. It states that present day life evolved from more primitive forms.

The Theory of Evolution is a nonscientific theory and a religion.
Any 'relationship' assigned between species is pure conjecture.

The Theory of Natural Selection presupposes a variance to select from, but tends to eliminate that variance, thus eliminating the theory itself, since variance goes against natural selection. This creates a paradox. Over time, variance is lessened, yet selection itself requires a variance to select from.

Science has NO theories about past unobserved events, since they are not falsifiable.

totally wrong.

over time species differentiate and can become totally different.

Which falsified the Theory of Natural Selection.

There has NEVER been an instance documented where a species evolved into another species. All that has been shown is a variance within a species. The Theory of Evolution may or may not be True. It is nonfalsifiable and not a theory of science. It is a religion.

This is absolutely hilarious. You claim Natural Selection has been falsified. Sure, by you, the same person who thinks biochemistry isn't a word. :ROFLMAO:

Even funnier, you put so much effort into poking holes in Natural Selection and Evolution, things you want to deny, but are content to believe that your Sky Daddy just zapped all species of life into existence.
