This has to be one of the best Explanations of Evolution I've heard.
I forget who said it but I've told this to "Pro-Intelligent Design" people and they don't know what to say......

"You know, regarding Evolution, Scientists know that the House is in a certain State, they know the City it's in, they even know the address, how many rooms the House has, even the square footage, and who lives there...
..they're just now sure about the color".

2. That's funny
Proving, of course, that there is no perfect way to talk to people who stubbornly refuse to accept the FACT of evolution.

Natural selection is a theory, with TONS of evidence to back it up.

The phenomenon of evolution, however, is a FACT.

6. Facts? Who needs facts when you have the
"and *poof*, there you were" theory.

11. the facts are just a theory

12. Ugh - that's the same argument that they would use for the
"perfect example of Intelligent Design" . . .

Hey, if you play all those pictures in the right sequence, he mouths a nasty word . . .

13. WaPo: 45% Americans polled believe Earth less than 10,000 yrs. old
In today's print edition in an article about Creationism and ID.

The question becomes: how long can such a willfully ignorant society survive in the modern world?
