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?

Unbalanced placemarker

Please note the total lack of fancy shmancy colour in my 'placemarker'.

Some of us prefer to use content rather than optics to make our point.

How about those creationists that remain lose in the general election to their evolutionist competition? This was only the primary after all, the real election is yet to come.
