Antievolutionist Bingo

Skeptico and TechSkeptic came up with a great idea, that of "Creationist Bingo". I'm taking that a step further and automating the creation of "antievolutionist bingo" cards. Each time you bring up this page, you will get a new card.

AntiEvolutionist Bingo
CB952. The evolution of specialized diets would not be adaptive.	CA114.4. Babbage was a creationist.	CC310. Fossils are dated from strata; strata are dated from fossils.	CB922. No two-celled life exists intermediate between one- and multicelled.	CI001.1. Intelligent design theory is not religious.
CD011.6. Ancient coal and oil are C-14 dated as only 50,000 years old.	CB350. Sex cannot have evolved.	CB610. The first individual of a new species would not find a mate.	CH050. Genesis is foundational to the Bible.	CB601.2.3. Dark moths increased in s. Britain after pollution control began.
CI130. Functional integration indicates design.	CB921. New structures would be useless until fully developed.	References an antievolutionist as an authority	CA008. Evolution encourages promiscuity and lust.	CH541. Aquatic organisms could have survived the Flood.
CA601.1. Evolution's materialism or naturalism denies a role for God.	CI190. SETI researchers expect that they can detect design.	CD231. High pressures in oil fields would have bled off if earth were old.	CA215. Evolution is a useless theory.	CA250. Scientific findings are always changing.
CD110. Meteor craters are never found in deeper strata.	CH710. Man and dinosaurs coexisted.	CB015. DNA needs proteins to form; proteins need DNA.	CI111. Dembski's filter can detect design.	CC214. There are gaps between reptiles and birds.

Each religious antievolutionist claim on the card links to the mainstream science responses collected by Mark Isaak in his excellent "Index to Creationist Claims". Be sure to check those out.

Antievolutionists Say the Darndest Things

Antievolutionists often express outrage over alleged incivility from those who oppose their efforts to evade the establishment clause of the First Amendment. But they have no difficulty in dishing out the abuse themselves. Here is a sample from the Invidious Comparisons thread that documents egregious behavior on the part of the religious antievolution advocates.

IDC advocate Mark Hartwig:

The intimidation tactics, however, signal something important about Darwinists. That "something" was explained in an insightful little piece by one A.J. Obrdlik. Published in 1942, it was a study of "gallows humor" in Czechoslovakia during the Nazi occupation. In that article, Obrdlik made a very keen observation:

Gallows humor is a reliable index of the morale of the oppressed whereas the reaction to it on the part of the oppressors tells a long story about the actual strength of the dictators: If they can afford to ignore it, they are strong; if they react wildly with anger, striking their victims with severe reprisals and punishment, they are not sure of themselves, no matter how much they display their might on the surface.

With the growing success of the Wedge, I'm sure we're going to see a lot more of this stuff. But Darwinist tactics will become a lot less intimidating as people realize that they signify not strength but panic.
