Re: random mutations and abiogenesis
i personally am quite tempted to believe that undirected mutations merely means that living things don't decide 'oh i need to grow wings to i can eat the mangos' and then slowly develop wings. they randomly develop something which they use as a pseudo wing (something like flying squirrels) and it helps them get more food so they don't die and thus the mutation makes it to the next generation. eventually there is some other mutation which makes them look more like bats with real wings.
there is no purposeful direction initiated by the organism. this speaks nothing of outside direction. but i'll be the first to admit that outside direction is a needless and pointless addendum. it just makes some people feel better.

Re: Crashfrog, randman is insulting your wife again
Crashfrog's wife is either so stupid she can't tell that everything she's been learning and doing for the last 5 years or so is completely wrong, or she's part of the dastardly plan to convince the rest of the world that the hundreds of thousands of Biologists, Geneticists, and about a dozen other fields of life science professionals are really doing good science when they are actually all a bunch of fraudulent liars.
well clearly if she married a frog..
deluded princesses.

unintelligible posts
There is no flaw in my logic here. You cannot claim Darwin showed there is no designer if abiogenesis is not true. It's implicit in that statement.
whether there is a flaw in your logic, i can't tell. but if it's as flawed as your speaking abilities....
