Since people do in fact do all these things, may we conclude that the creator was a failure?
Succinct, to the point, and humorous, all at once. The Doctor rules.

Murder or suicide?
A creationist and a scientist are assessing the following situation:
In a room there is a person hanging from a rope tied to a beam above. There is a chair lying on its side beneath the person.
That's all the information they have.
The creationist: "This is clearly murder. The chair must have been kicked away from under this poor victim by someone. Moreover, I think Superman did it."
The scientist: "I can't be sure of course, but as it stands, it's probably suicide. The evidence is not enough to conclude murder."
What follows is an argument of 600+ posts.
