If there's no God, then why does my cat have exactly the right number of legs?

Chance? I think not!

    Lol. Well I know you're just being a troll, but to answer this for the idiots that think that this is a legitimate logical argument, ill explain.

    Our DNA consists of base-pair sequences, of the compounds cytosine, guanine, thymine, and adenine. Different permutations of 3-base length codes (e.g. A-G-T, or T-T-T, C-G-T, etc), correspond to different amino acids. Though there are only 22 amino acids and 64 permutations (4^3) so some are redundant. The ribosomal subunits contained on the ribosomes, an organelle present in every eukaryotic cell, are responsible for reading these permutations and then attaching the corresponding amino acid by a peptide bond to variable length chains designated in the code. These peptide bonded amino acids then predictably fold in a very specific manner into a certain protein. These proteins serve every biological function in our body, be it structural or regulatory. Furthermore, the cell is designed to produce different proteins, dependent upon its role within an organism, and this is all orchestrated by designated code and code reading proteins contained within DNA. Therefore, the structure of your cat's leg and well as the number of legs and their position are explicitly defined in the DNA. And evolution explains the origin of complex organisms, so in reality, this proves absolutely nothing.

    I'm pretty sure if you ask a geneticist this question he'll explain it to you thouroughly. Btw I believe in god and I'm not sure why your cat has the exactly right number of legs.

    for those whom dont believe they should spend 30 min on the peak of a mountain top you know the spot where the snow is still laying yet the yellow flowers are poking thru.

    the wind gently hitting your face and the sounds of life echoing.

    what an amazing experiance to be part of all god has created.

    They evolved from the catfish in prehistoric times that were fed up living in the water so they decided to leave the water to give birth to the kittens that evolved into the cats we see on land today. Believe that one and I will tell you how humans evolved from ancient monkeys.
