Really bad article on Evolution / ID

Terrible article, but I don't think that simply listing a bunch of 'litmus tests' qualifies as effectively debunking it.

Certainly polemic. What fact do you dispute?

Nor do I since I'm not Bright enough. What's your problem?

True - I could debunk it line by line, but I don't really have the time. He demonstrates most of the erros in reasononing though.
 
Some time ago, I was going to compile a list of Creationist arguments and refutations. Then I noticed it has been done--many times. The best source is talkorigins.
It is certainly annoying trying to argue with a lot of Creationists. Once you refute a whole load of nonsense, they start over with the cycle of claims you've just refuted. It's the old "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it." Current favorite lies include "More and more scientists are beginning to doubt evolution," and "Evolution can't explain complex structures like the eye," along with old favorites like "There's no transitional fossils."

If Creationists really wanted to be taken seriously as offering a scientific "alternative" to evolution (which few, if any, really want to do), they would publish serious, peer-reviewed research that really explains the natural world and that provides additional hypotheses that can be tested. But when you read what they are saying to each other and to their supporters, it is clear that what they are about is not science.

Care to refute all my points in the other ID thread?
 
Just say to creationists, "where's the beef?"

if they're so sure about their science, why don't they just take it away with themselves to a corner of the world, set up scientific institutes to investigate the world from a creationist point of view?
I'm sure the drug companies of the world will be knocking down their doors to get at them there creationist drugs.

I'm sure they will attract the best minds, they will inspire an educational regime that will spread the world over with its success....

They pretend to be doing just that. For example, "Dr." Dino's museum in Florida, and Ken Ham's creationism museum under construction in Kentucky.
