It's been a bad year for creationists. First, the Dover litigation went spectacularly against them.
Kitzmiller et al. v Dover Area School District et al.

Then (O the horror!) Evolution of 'irreducible complexity' explained.

Then, yet another creationist gap got filled in: Newly found species fills evolutionary gap between fish and land animals.

The Wall Street Journal had a great article about those last two items:
Two New Discoveries Answer Big Questions In Evolution Theory.

Then, various religious figures spoke out against them:
Creationism dismissed as "a kind of paganism" by Vatican's astronomer.

Then the UK moved against them: UK Government agrees creationism cannot be taught in science.

Then one of the most prestigious scientific bodies in the world spoke out against them:
Royal Society statement on evolution, creationism and intelligent design.

Then the fabled Cambrian Explosion fizzled out. Mollusk fossils push back evolution, ROM scientists say .

Then, perhaps the unkindest cut of all:
Evolution caught in the act: Smaller beaks in Galápagos finches make finding food easier.

Then, a prominent conservative intellectual laid it all out:
Darwinian Conservatism: How Darwinian science refutes the Left’s most sacred beliefs.

Then, the good people of Kansas tossed some creationists off their school board:
Evolution issue tips board’s balance [Kansas school board election].

How much worse can it get?
