Evolution is fine, DNA and genes are the way things work.
But that picture isn't entirely clear or finished yet.
All I'm saying is that you guys don't have the full picture.

I didn't claim that I had a full picture. I will be the first to admit that science doesn't know everything. Hell, there is a hell of a lot that science doesn't know. My point is, that just because we don't know it, doesn't mean its unknowable. And just because something is unknowable, does not mean that there is no explanation exists.
To elaborate: We know that life has evolved over billions of years, from a single celled organism. But where did this single celled organism come from? This is an example of something that we do not
know. That's not to say we will never know. There are numerous hypotheses around trying to explain it. I already posted one. (
Quantum Evolution)
We also know, that the universe came into existence from the Big Bang. But where did this incredibly dense particle, this singularity, come from? Well, we don't know. There are many hypothesis, many involved with higher dimensional physics, but ultimately we don't really have any idea. But, just because we don't
know does not mean that an explanation does not exist.

You guys have your theories and hypotheses, and they form your religion. You call it the modern scientific viewpoint. But you're no less biased or ignorant as me or anyone else. There are questions that you can't answer, and there are some questions that I can't answer.

Wrong! Science is not a religion. Science is built on the concept of fallibility. Religion is based on infallibility. The most important thing about science, is that when it makes a claim, it has proof. I consists of experiments which are repeatable. Scepticism is one of the most important virtues in science. In Christianity it is a damnable offence (literally). When science says something, it is not expecting you to take it on faith. You can go and recreate the evidence for yourself. You can see the proof with your very own eyes.
A two thousand year old book, full of inconsistent ramblings is not my idea of proof. A nut job running around, ranting on about "visions" is not my idea of proof.

And snowflakes are Chaos, aren't they?
Fractals anyone?

Yes, snowflakes, are an example used to explain chaos theory. Under magnification, you can see intricate patterns, made out of the ice particles that make up a snowflake. It is "obvious" that the random jostling of water particles around in a cloud, could not possibly have resulted in such beautiful patterns. It is obvious that snowflakes, were in fact, created.
