This one will have to be relatively quick because I was too busy with other things to concentrate on the Hamster Brains this week. Therefore I will be posting this week's poll candidates and the evedence against them in a single post.

Jeez, they actually allow this guy to teach MATH? The basis of all science? Does he also tell kids that 2+2=5? That the value of pi is anything you want it to be?
PH, better call in the Thomas Huxley Battalion

Evolution explains that common features are caused by a common origin. But other scientists believe that common features may be the result of a common design, with the same effective design used repeatedly.
Evolutionists believe common features are caused either by a common origin, OR by similar adaptation to the same environment.
Dolphins and Fish superficially resemble each other in shape because they've adapted to swimming in water, with many common features. However, Dolphins evolved from land mammals that returned to water, so once you cut them open they have almost no common features with fish and lots with land mammals.
Fortunately this clown is a math teacher, certainly has no business teaching biology.

The best evidence for evolution are the creationists, for they have not evolved.

Then more students will find out what creationists, many laypeople and most evolutionists already know — that molecules-to-humans evolution is a theory in crisis.
for some perspective check out this web page on The Imminent Demise of Evolution. Creationists have been continuously predicting that evolution was about to come crashing down any day now since 1840... That page contais quotes predicting the crash of evolution from 1840, 1850, 1878, 1895, 1903, 1904, 1905, 1912, 1922, 1929, 1935, 1940, 1961, 1963, 1970, 1975, 1976, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002. But surely, they're finally right *this* time, eh?
The creationist screeds about the "flaws" in evolutionary theory -- including the post which starts this thread -- are without exception full of errors, overstatements, misrepresentations, misquotes, lack of understanding of evolution itself, rhetorical sleight of hand, etc. etc.
I've studied this topic for several decades, and I've always been appalled at what passes for anti-evolutionary arguments. And I've always been overwhelmed by that massive amount of evidence for evolution, along dozens of independent lines of study -- which you'll never hear about from the creationists.

Lets see, 30 million or so species of animal, hell, lets just cut it down to 3 million. Add in the time for all of these animals to crawl, slither (hope them reptiles don't get cold), fly and lumber across the earth to get to Noah. Then figure out the logistics of building a ship that big, the amount of time to cut down the lumber, transport it, and build a ship, then figure out the time spent finding all the food eaten by all the animals, then figure out how long it would take to load the ship. And them poor miserable animals, they land on a mountaintop, all the reptiles freeze and die, all the other animals get off the boat, and there ain't no vegetation left (assuming the flood killed all the plant life too) and to top it all off, they gotta somehow get back home!
The creationists never ever ever have a rational answer for that, do they? The best I heard is (wait for it) it was a Miracle! Or, the koalas back then ate different food (perhaps they evolved their taste for eucalyptus leaves?), or somehow God got out his magic wand and made it so.
So, in the spirit of illogic, for every creationist that claims they can't understand how creation could work, I have an answer: Its a Miracle! God just created it!

Then we have the problem of why the geologic column does not look like the residue of a single big world-wide flood. But I'm sure we're just maximizing the problems.
(Actually, we haven't mentioned a tenth of them. Many web pages have been filled with this stuff.)

Also Ichneumon is at it again. Hes got some Darwinist screeds on this thread that would put Clinton's book and War and Peace to shame length wise.
