Creationist "logic" summed up:
Show me an amoeba evolving into a person. What, you can't do that? Ha! EVOLUTION DISPROVEN!
Show me every fossil of every species that ever existed and show me a smooth evolutionary transition from each and every generation that ever lived. You can't? Ha! EVOLUTION DISPOVEN!
Show me a T-Rex evolving into a Chicken. What you can't? Ha! EVOLUTION DISPROVEN!
Evolution is a theory. We all know theories are all just made up. Ha! EVOLUTION DISPROVEN!
Creationists have completely unreasonable, unrealistic demands for evidence of evolution yet question none for the Bible because in their heads, the Bible is proven fact. Below seems to be always their response when faced with the evidence:
What about the fossil record which shows clear transitions of vertebrates evolving from sea to land animals?
"Not good enough. It could be a mutant! It could be a hoax! And you don't have fossils of every species during that transition! Ha! Checkmate, evilutionists!"
What about the B-cells in our bodies evolving to combat new strains of pathogens, or bacteria evolving resistances to antibiotics?
"That's not evolution, that's just variation/adaptation! You've never seen a monkey give birth to person, have you! No? Then God did it! God did it all!"
What about DNA evidence, and the fact that DNA shows we are more closely related to some animals than others, and mitochondrial DNA proves that we share a common ancestor with Chimps?
"Lies! Evilutionists made it up! We share 98% of our DNA with bananas too, and we can't mate with bananas! Ha! EVILUTION DISPROVEN!"
What about speciation being observed, and some Creationists acknowledging it?
"Speciation is not evolution! We never see a rabbit give birth to a Frog! Ha! EVILUTION DISPROVEN!"
I really would like to say I caricatured what Creationists said, but I find what they say extraordinarily difficult to parody. Their arguments almost always come in these forms.
