Refuting David Pack

• Pack uses the teleological argument from a sample size of one. We know virtually nothing about the process through which cosmological constants are created, and thus are arguing pointlessly through a sample size of one. Besides, who made God if he exists? He's so amazing, he must've been designed.
• Pack straw-mans the theory of evolution and calls it pure chance.
• Pack said God made the perfect clock of the heavens. He fails to mention that the solar system is actually the basis for the calendar, and the years are gradually getting shorter.
• Pack argues that radioactive elements with a significant half life could not exist if they came into existence 13.7 billion years ago.. He mentions uranium. Its half-life is so significantly large, though, that a large quantity exists. In addition, we know where elements are formed - up to Iron, they come from the Sun, and others come from supernovae.
• Pack believes the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics violates evolution. The Earth doesn't count - it's NOT a closed system - it is able to recieve photons from the Sun.
• Pack says that evolutionary "myths," like gorillas as relative to humans, are debunked. The gorilla-to-human theory is based on DNA - y'know, actual genetic code? and the debunking used a number of non-DNA substances as the basis for counterexamples.
• Pack straw-mans the Big Bang, saying "explosions always produce chaos." The Big Bang was not an explosion. The hypotheses as to the cause of it are the reverse of the annihilation of matter and antimatter, and a virtual particle becoming real. No matter what, it isn't an explosion.
• He LOOOOVES to argue with arguments from people with 0 experience. For example, he takes a quote about the likelihood of the Big Bang from a bachelor of arts at a fundamentalist Christian university.
• Pack uses the discriminatory copout of "Atheists can't think straight because the Bible said so" and "Disbelief in God is just natural because the Bible said so."
• To put it into perspective: he's one of the right-wing idiots who thinks Christians are persecuted in the U. S. and says that universities teach athiesm. Universities don't teach athiesm. They teach things that contradict Christianity, certainly, but not that God doesn't exist.
• Pack teaches the Ray Comfort nonsequitur of "You can't make the universe from nothing, so God did it!"
• In Pack's book on evolution, he says it violates the law of biogenesis. The law of biogenisis does not say anything on the possibility of a process to create life. It simply states that life comes from life - that childbirth is Man's fault, not God's fault.
• In said book, he calls survival of the fittest circular logic. This is all semantics. Our argument is more of "Those who reproduce pass on traits, so traits that make organisms more likely to reproduce are passed on more." Nothing circular there.
• "Where are the beneficial mutations?" In a lab, bacteria have mutated to resist antibiotics, for example. Beneficial mutations are somewhat rare, but they exist - and are significant.
