Oy to the world

And Pharyngula's working on the sad sorry state of American science by hanging up Bryan Fischer's Defeat Darwin in 4 Easy Steps like a pinata and whaling at it until all the stupid falls out. (Apparently, the four "irrefutable" arguments against evolution are: conservation of energy, entropy, fossils, and genetic mutation. No, those last two are not typos. Read the rebuttal, if only for the glorious snark of The Second Law of Thermodynamics argument is one of the hoariest, silliest claims in the creationist collection. It's self-refuting. Point to the creationist: ask whether he was a baby once. Has he grown? Has he become larger and more complex? Isn't he standing there in violation of the second law himself? Demand that he immediately regress to a slimy puddle of mingled menses and semen.)
