Evolutionary scientists have the answers: Creationists (i.e. anti-science fools) do not.

Whales with legs; snakes with legs; snakes with one atrophied lung; embryonic gill slits in ALL land animals; the human jaw too small for the number of teeth it holds (i.e. impacted wisdom teeth). Why would the gods make these worthless, and often dangerous, vestigil features? Scientists know the answer: I've yet to hear a Creationist offer any rational explanation.

All that Creation "Scientists" offer are strawman arguments: attacking a fiction that they create and then pretend that they have "won" when no real scientist defends the false position.

I have 27,295 text files on my home computer that discourse on the sciences, the humanities, politics, social sciences, art, music. 8.45 per cent of them (2,307 files) relate only to the evolutionary sciences and the anti-science, anti-intellectual dogma called "Creationism." It is therefore not easy to select which ones to present on my WWW site, considering the limit on disk space allotted to me. Therefore this note: the subject is no where near adequately discussed on this, Shy David's WWW site! The Talk.Origins Archive is the place to go for anyone interested in this subject. The Talk Origins Archive web server includes a search engine for their site, to allow viewers to quickly find what they are looking for. Or read the newsgroup talk.origins.

When one reads assertions written by anti-science fools (Creationists), one is struck with the parallel between their methods and those of the Holocaust deniers. Both edit quotes from actual scholars, modifying them in such a way that what was actually said by scholars and scientists are presented as saying the exact opposite. This is the CHIEF modus operandi of both Holocaust deniers and anti-evolutionists. When these deceptions are pointed out to them, they fabricate other lies; later on they present the already refuted lies again, as if they had not been caught.

THERE HAS YET TO BE ANY CREATION "SCIENTIST" WHO HAS WON A SCIENTIFIC DEBATE AGAINST A REAL SCIENTIST. Yet these anti-science Fundamentalists are very good at "winning" non-scientific "debates" with real scientists, since they have no scruples in lying, deceiving, and doing every dishonest thing it takes to sway their audience towards the false belief in Creationism (which their audiences usually already believe, since these "debates" are sponsored by cults and are held in the cult's houses of worship).

I've plugged in quotes from Dr Pepper below for fun. This was more or less arbitrary, since there are so many eloquent people represented in my files.

• The Truth What science did to Creationism.
• Rev. David Lawrence Critique of "Why I Believe in Creation," the tract written by Rev. David Lawrence. July 6th, 1995CE

  Geology shows that fossils are of different ages. Paleontology shows a fossil sequence, the list of species representing changes through time. Taxonomy shows biological relationships among species. Evolution is the explanation that threads it all together. Creationism is the practice of squeeezing one's eyes shut and wailing "DOES NOT!" --- Dr Pepper

• Evolutionary knowledge test Dear Creationist: We who follow conventional science appreciate your zeal and commitment in desiring to show us the errors of evolution.
• The Anti-Evolution Game By Dr Pepper. Here's an opportunity to see how good you are at refuting evolution scientifically. That means using science, not faith. If you have faith that evolution is false, that's great for you but has nothing to do with science.

• ICR Luna(tics) In an attempt to rip off the 25th anniversary of the moon landing, the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) has produced a half hour radio show called "Apollo, Quest for the Moon".

  [The evolutionary scientists'] motto is "ignore peer pressure until you drop because you were wrong, or your peers drop because you were right." That's science. --- Dr Pepper

• The Flood Of Noah One hundred and twenty five years ago, George Smith, a young assistant at the British Museum, was at work deciphering fragments of the ancient story of the epic of Gilgamesh. Late one night it suddenly dawned on him that in Tablet 11 of Gilgamesh he was reading the story of Noah in the Bible.
• Liar Appleton #1 Where is the SCIENTIFIC THEORY OF CREATION?
• Liar Appleton #2 Wesley R. Elsberry Corrects Laurie Appleton's Lies
• Evolution 'Backwards' Actually, the quote may well be accurate. The amusing irony is, of course, that it says absolutely nothing inimical to the reality of evolution.

• Creationist Techniques Sooner or later, if you have any interest in science, or in education, you will encounter a Creationist Argument. Creationists are always trying to sneak Biblical Creationism into the curriculum by any means possible. To this effect, they will try to convince parents, teachers and school boards that they are presenting real science.

• Chandra Wickramasinghe Creationist Chandra Wickramasinghe, testimony in McLean v Arkansas Board of Education

  "Balance what, Laurie? Science with religion? DNA with Noah's Ark? Archaeopteryx with a unicorn? "Balanced treatment already exists. Children learn about science in science classes and if their parents are bent that way they can learn about Creationism and the Bible at home and on Sundays. If their parents are extremely bent they can put their children in religious brainwashing "academies" for a few years, but we'll just have to straighten them out later so why bother?" -- John Musselwhite
