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
CC101. Human footprints have been found with dinosaur tracks at Paluxy.	CD620. Average soil depth is consistent with a young earth.	CH055. Noncreationist Christians are compromisers.	CH130. The Bible's accuracy on other scientific points shows overall accuracy.	CH505.8. Ed Behling was led to the ark in 1973.
CD231. High pressures in oil fields would have bled off if earth were old.	CI141.1. Similar structures for similar functions, different for different.	CA610. Evolution is a religion.	CB102. Mutations do not add information.	CC002. Nebraska man was a hoax.
CH102.2.1. Jesus refers to creation and flood as though they were literal.	CI009. Evidence for design disproves evolutionary mechanisms.	References an antievolutionist as an authority	CA651. God would have pronounced death and suffering "very good."	CI110. Complex specified information indicates design.
CA601. Evolution requires naturalism.	CA240. Ockham's Razor says the simplest explanation (creation) is preferred.	CD221. Oceans do not have enough dissolved minerals for an old earth.	CB926. Preadaptation implies that organs evolved before they were needed.	CB341. Snake venom and hollow fangs could not have evolved simultaneously.
CH512. All kinds could fit.	CE301. The lack of solar neutrinos indicates that the stellar model is wrong.	CI001.4. Intelligent design has been published in peer-reviewed journals.	CC211. There are gaps between invertebrates and vertebrates.	CB411. Evolution does not explain morals, especially altruism.

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 Phillip E. Johnson:

Gould’s uncomfortable situation reminds me of the self-created predicament of Mikhail Gorbachev in the last years of the Soviet Empire. Gorbachev recognized that something had gone wrong with the Communist system, but thought that the system itself could be preserved if it was reformed. His democratic friends warned him that the Marxist fundamentalists would inevitably turn against him, but he was unwilling to endanger his position in the ruling elite by following his own logic to its necessary conclusion. Gould, like Gorbachev, deserves immense credit for bringing glasnost to a closed society of dogmatists. And, like Gorbachev, he lives on as a sad reminder of what happens to those who lack the nerve to make a clean break with a dying theory.
