Alright, let's have it out.
No more muddying other threads with Creationism/Intelligent Design/evolutionary debates.
We're pulling out all the stops here; a full-blown scientific rumble to the death.
Creationism (and it's poorly disguised twin, Intelligent Design) are completely without scientific backing.
Creationist arguments rely on the complexity of the subjects involved and the relative ignorance of their audience to propagate.
Genetic data and the fossil record alone prove that characteristics of populations have changed significantly over time beyond any reasonable doubt. This is not in dispute in the scientific world; any dispute that exists is purely about how these changes came about.
There have been some false starts - Creationists love to bring up hoaxes like the Piltdown Man as evidence that science is too accepting of evolution. This fails to acknowledge that it was science that exposed it as a fraud. Unlike (for example) religion, science is designed to be self-correcting. That's the whole point.
Let's see what you got.
