I don't really think you can have scientific progress using the idea that "God did it". That is not an explanation, that's a final answer. How does creationism give ANY useful information for science ? That's not a pursuit of knowledge and that's something that's constant in religious fanatics...

That's when you consider that evolution is backward thinking based on faith only. In that situation CREATION is the "theory" that thinks of itself as an unquestionnable faith and that is also the old idea struggling not to die. Scientists spend most of their time challenging their former...

Well this specific toxin is highly cancerous (is that the right word ?) for humans (and I guess mammals in general). They teach us about this one because working on plants is both easy and ethical ("here kid, sit on this radioactive barrel for a couple hours so that we see if some of your cells...

You can't really compare the two things since you can't really make experiments in history can you ? Evolution only based on fossils and pictures/drawings of old species would be a pretty weak theory, but we can observe in real time DNA mutations and how "fitter" individuals will be selected...

Too bad I don't like coffe, but your superpower is most likely to be colon cancer though. It works well on plants because cancer is apparently not a big concern for them (couldn't say why though).

This here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colchicine is a current example of how a toxin can create subspecies with way more chromosomes than their father. As I've seen in genetics class, most of today's wheat is for example mutants obtained with such toxins (caffeine does that too on a lower...

DNA mutations in between generations of a same species is AN OBSERVABLE FACT. The Theory of Evolution is a theory in that it can not yet explain every single little fact and also since it is science we're talking about, saying "this is the absolute truth of what happened" would be stupid...

Short reply (and first post yay) to say that there is indeed a petanque video game. Even though the link leads to a french website, this is still unfortunately true. http://www.jeuxvideo.com/jeux/wii/00032024-petanque-pro.htm
