Tough Assignment: Teaching Evolution To Fundamentalists

Yeah, Fundies don't tend to buy BS too easily.

Not in *my* experience... Try reading the whole thread, you'll see all *sorts* of BS that "Fundies" have bought wholesale. For just one example, Havoc believes the BS that the skin and bones of the same mammoth have been radiometrically dated to dates 20,000 years apart (or 30,000, his claim keeps changing), even *after* it has been pointed out to him that the primary source was clearly talking about parts from two *different* animals, *and* that Havoc's "Fundie" source was grossly incompetent (e.g. one of Hovind's claimed "mammoth" specimens was an *ox* in the primary source which Hovind himself pointed to in "support" of his claims about mammoths...)

And this is, unfortunately, all too typical of "Fundies" who attempt to attack evolution.

But you seem to be trying to imply that evolutionary biology is "BS" -- please state a few of your reasons for thinking so, and provide support for them (citations would be nice). Let's determine whether you yourself have correctly described evolutionary biology as "BS" -- or whether you have "bought BS too easily" yourself by making the mistake of reading too many goofy creationist sources.
