"How in the world can evolution explain away the four stages that a butterfly goes through from egg, to larva, to pupa and finally to butterfly? If you find a great explaination of this, email me and I will post the explaination here"

I heard that one before from a creationist. Is there an easy way to refute it?

Descent plus modification.

The ancestors of butterfiles didn't always have such a four stage lifestyle. In fact, there are many taxa of insects that don't have the "classic" egg->larva->pupae->adult lifestyle.

Here's a few good ones:

63. The Coso Artifact

Once thought to be an example ancient of high technology, this artifact consisted of a spark plug completely encrusted with fossiliferous rock. When it was later decided that the artifact was in fact, a 1920's era Champion brand sparkplug, it still presents a problem. How did it get encrusted with fossils? Clearly some things that seem to be very old, are in fact not. It is too bad that all fossils don't come with a company logo.


65. The 'Ararat Anomaly'
The CIA has on file a strange manmade object on the "other side" of Mt. Ararat, where the Bible says that Noah's Ark was brought to rest. This side has been relatively unexplored. A recent article concerning this has been published at Space.Com

66. Aquatic Mammals
This one is almost funny. In the supposed evolutionary order, aquatic mammals such as whales and dolphins present a quirky problem. You see, as 'simple' sea life grew feet and marched onto land, the became reptiles, birds and land dwelling mammals, eventually producing apes and humans. But dolphins and and whales appearently didn't like the land too well, so they actually went the wrong way, evolutionarily speaking and headed back to the sea!

67. Common Sense
Common sense would dictate that any highly organized mechanism, capable of performing complex tasks, beautiful and elegant must have a designer. Random chance does not produce highly structured order.

69. Dust on the Moon
If the Moon were billions of years old, it should have accumulated a thick layer of dust and debris from meteoritic bombardment. Before instruments were placed on the Moon, some scientists were very concerned that astronauts would sink into a sea of dust?possibly a mile in thickness.a This did not happen. Very little meteoritic debris is on the Moon. In fact, after examining rocks and dust brought back from the Moon, scientists learned that only about 1/67th of the dust and debris came from outer space. Recent measurements of the influx rate of meteoritic material on the Moon also do not support an old Moon.

70. Stalagmites
Water from an underground spring was channeled to a spot on a river bank for only one year. In that time, limestone built up around sticks lying on the bank. Limestone deposits can form rapidly if the ground water?s chemistry is favorable. Just because stalactites and stalagmites are growing slowly today does not mean they must be millions of years old.

71. Lady Hope
The account of Charles Darwin's "deathbed recantation" of evolution has been treated skeptically, and many believe it to be a complete fabrication. It has prooved difficult to proove one way or the other, but it must be said that the whole idea that Darwin might have in the end turned his back on evolutionary theory, must give darwinists the willies.

...yep, he's got me quaking in my boots...

Similarly Galileo's recanting must mean that the Sun really does move round the Earth !!!! That'll give astronomers the willies.

I thought Volkswagon made the Beetle. And anyways, the Beetle is hardly proof of intelligent design.

Well, one thing I hate is people who can't tell the difference between 100 and 93.

Anyway, I think the best one is number 28:

Old Textbooks

Even though the Bible hasn't changed in thousands of years, textbooks have to be re-written all of the time to clear up outdated science. 20 year old textbooks are an embarrasment to evolution. The Bible is not an embarrassment to me. Perhaps biology should not be trying to teach earth history?
Well, whaddaya know, to think that scientists actually throw out outdated stuff and replaces it with new and better ideas! Utterly ridiculous! We'll never learn anything this way! The only way to learn anything is to keep what we've had for two millenia and never update it! Wait a minute, something isn't right here....

I hate tornadoes in junkyards. I'm always afraid the junk will spontaneously assemble into a 747 full of creationists.
