You might see a contribution from me when the April feedback comes out. I made some comments and questions regarding Theobald's article, '29 Evidences for Macro-evolution'.

I like this one:

Quote:
Hi i'm a 16 kid who goes to school at kansas city christan school, a privet and christan school. everyone at the school are young earth creationest, and that is what i belive too, and we have to wright a papaer on creation vs. evoulotion. this is an interestion topic. It's funny because i am not really on the outside looking in, and i think evolution is kind of funny. There is so much evidence aginst it, but there is alot for it to. The only thing that evolution can't come up with is how do you get information from matter. they are two different things. and another thing is irrudusable complexatiy. like the bactiral flagela. With out all of the parts how can it work? It needs all of the parts two work. How can something like that evoleve. you can't start with one part and then get another, because one peice with out the other is just wasted space. and there is no need of it. I just want to know what any evolutionests have to say on the topic of irredusable complexity and try to explain how you can get infromation from matter
Thanx David
Yeah, we're confident about the quality of your education!

That one can't be genuine. Can it?

My favorite was the little story about the Kenyan man and the flat earth.

David at least has the excuse of being sixteen. The worrying thing is when people are still thinking, and typing, like this at 40.

Can't be. The details a bit too good for a person can't spell.

No he doesn't . A sixteen year old should be able to write nearly as well as an adult.

I'm inclined to think that it's bogus.

My sixteen year old writes better than most adults. But I'm biased.

How about this one for followers of theology web?



Feedback Letter
From: Dee Dee Warren
Comment: Thank you for listing TheologyWeb on your index.
Sincerely Dee Dee Administrator

Responses
From: PZ Myers
Response: Please note, however, that listing your site does not constitute an endorsement. There are some truly dreadful sites in that list; we find that the words of creationists are often their very own best rebuttal.

From: John Wilkins
Response: That site, however, is an open discussion forum on biblical exegesis, and there are both literalist young earth creationists and more critical interpreters who have no problem with the science. While the site admin may be a young earther, some of the interlocutors show more knowledge.
