There was a good article about a week ago titled:

Exposed: The scientific impossibility of evolution
‘Nothing Created Everything’ a surefire way to debunk atheism

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=110293

One of the quotes I found funny and so true;

“Time performs miracles. Time is the creator,” he said.

“You can say to them, ‘OK, there's nothing in your garage, could you believe in 10,000 years a Mercedes would evolve out of nothing? You'd say, No, that's ridiculous.’ ‘So, what about 100,000 years?’ ‘No, that's stupid.’ But if you start talking billions of years, they'll suddenly go glaze-eyed and, ‘Yeah, I could believe that, a Mercedes could evolve out of nothing over billions of year.’ So time is their miracle worker.”

A Mercedes isn’t a life form and a garage isn’t a hospitable environment. The analogy doesn’t work.

Exposed: The scientific impossibility of evolution

I tend not to get involved in creation vs. evolution debates here on Free Republic; nor would I recommend that students enter into such debates with their science teachers. Discussions of that sort usually generate more heat than light.

I would recommend a different approach. Evolution is a scientifically useful model of the origin of species. It is one of many scientifically useful models, none of which accounts for the existence or nonexistence of God. Indeed, science carefully avoids any consideration of teleological or supernatural explanations.

Therefore, anyone who cites science as somehow disproving religion is misusing science. He or she is ill-suited to work as a science teacher.
