This is an ACTUAL LETTER in my local paper this week; How could one even BEGIN to educate this moran?
Evolution isn't science
Evolution is a theory, not fact, and cannot satisfactorily explain the origin of life, our world, nor any data-derived experiments. Here are just a few salient points to clear up what intelligent design is and simultaneously to refute the uneducated, biased vitriol some writers have for even touching the "sacred idol" of evolution.
Laws of thermodynamics. First is the law of conservation: Matter or energy may change form, but can be neither created nor destroyed. Second is the law of entropy: Energy and matter go to disorder or entropy. So much for the evolutionist point of view of simple to complex or an increase in order! Also, the theory of evolution cannot explain the formation of rock nor that fossils are found in abundance on every continent and are found only in sedimentary rocks. Evolution relies on hiddenness and hoaxes. No evidence has ever been found of man evolving gradually in stages from simpler life -- apes to intermediary to man. The so-called findings of these intermediary ape-men were replicas made to appear more man-like. All the famous finds were hoaxes. These include Neanderthal man, Piltdown man, and Nebraska man.
Finally, evolution is racist. Charles Darwin in "The Descent of Man" puts the Caucasian as higher than the Negro. This type thinking, which devalues man, has led to slavery, Nazism, Communism and abortion. Evolution is not good science and that intelligent design should be presented at the very least as an alternative.
