Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 360 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

Of course, I think we should spend a lot of time discussing some ""Healthy Skepticism" about the claims of fundamentalist Christians.

Like how about an example of a talking snake? Or even a fossil snake with vocal chords.

Or an example of a single human male who lives to 300 years and then has children, (even before the invention of Viagra.)

Or an equation of nuclear chemistry that can start with 100 lbs of woman and end up with a pillar of NaCl without blowing a chunk of earth out into space.

I wonder how a tower that collapsed could be the derivation of different languages.
Do they have a theory of that that can be tested? I wonder why they have a problem with modern Biology, when Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Medicine, Astronomy and Linguistics all point out how silly their ideas are.

We should demand some evidence of their claims and subject them to some rigorous testing. But why bother, they have no evidence and are simply silly.
