* continually repeat their mantra that evolution is science while creation is religion.
* declare that all the radioactive elements had to decay from the top of the chain
  - no man ever lived alongside dinosaurs
  - petrified wood is millions of year old, yet humans have worked with it
* deny that such a marriage between evolution and theism can exist.
* even ignore certain animal species.
* face a similar contradiction with proteins preserved in dinosaur bones
  - the difficulty of explaining the beneficial effects of mutations
* generally agree that plants evolved from algae that slowly began to colonize the land
  - believe in several ice ages tens of thousands of years ago
* habitually regard humans as just another species in the grand scheme of evolution.
* have absolutely no evidence of what sharks and rays evolved from.
* ignore the fact that they rely on circular reasoning.
* insist that only they have the scientific truth.
* like to talk over everybody's head so they appear to know something.
* love time
  - to assume uniformitarian processes

* note five major periods of mass extinction in the fossil record.
* object to the supernatural.
* often claim that, given enough time, evolution was certain to happen.
* point out that sexual differentiation has both costs and benefits
  - to the dinosaurs as outstanding evidence of evolution
* postulate that flowers came from changes in leaves.
* readily admit that evolution occurs too slowly to be observed.
* realize that the fossil record challenges the very notion of macro-evolution.
* say dinosaurs predated man by millions of years
  - it is the only way everything happens in the stars and on earth
  - man evolved by chance, without purpose
  - that evolution fact
* say that the DNA molecule originated by purely physical-chemical forces
  - earth has to be millions of years old because of the empirical evidence
  - what they call the Cambrian rock is the oldest rock with fossils in it
  - that, given enough time, a few mutations, here and there, can produce new species
* say there are plenty of transition fossils, for example, the horse
  - had to have been an oxygen-free atmosphere for life to have begun
* say, It s a lower life-form changing from fish, to primate, to human.
* seem to think of creationists as religious nuts.
* simply have no mechanism for evolution.
* speak of evolution as still occurring.
* speculate that life gradually evolved from mere hydrogen in a series of stages
  - rock layers are associated with periods of time
* state that diversity proceeded from a single common ancestor.
