Either, "monkeys give birth to monkeys, not humans" or "tide comes in, tide goes out. You can't explain that!"

For evidence, he could always use his own "Argument" threads.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Just because you utterly failed to evolve beyond moronic primitivism, that's no excuse to try to foreclose any possibility of your children evolving.

I urge all christians to verify that gravity is not true by jumping out of tall buildings.

Part of the problem is that there is a pressure in the scientific community to fall in line with evolution or jeopardize your credibility, lose your funding, and be ostracized.

Well the pressure is coming from the evidence and the fact that the theory of evolution better describes and explains it. Creation isn't an alternative theory of science. It may seem that way from the number of batshit-crazy xtian missionaries who sign on to bring the gospel to science. But all that amounts to is an exercise in xtian apologetics. If you sign up to do science but then spend your time trying to line up evidence to argue for a fundamentalist reading of the bible, you are not being honest and you're not doing science.

God it must suck to be you. May your delusions compensate you for the loss of respect you will always encounter in any legitimate field of inquiry.

Likewise just because some people are bat-shit crazy doesn't mean everything they say will be false. But it still pays to consider the source.
