No me peguen, soy evolucionado

Muy interesante columna sobre el creacionismo.

Para ustedes que les da fiaca leer, acá tienen la versión transmisión oral, manga de vagos:

Debating with a creationist is actually really easy, because they only have a few standard arguments, and haven't come up with any new cogent ones for some time. These standard arguments have been published time and time again, and a practiced creationist can handily draw them like a six-gun at the drop of a hat. All of their arguments are silly in their wrongness and easily debunked, and if you're prepared in advance, it's easy to beat down any creationist with a quick verbal body slam. You're not going to change their mind, since creationists do not base their opinions upon rational study of the evidence; but you might help clear things up for an innocent bystander who overhears.

So here are the standard arguments for creationism, and the standard rebuttals from the scientific consensus, starting with my favorite.
