- Critique with some mistakes [1] (for example, the critic demands evidence for Piltdown man's jaw being a modern ape's)
- A hilarious parody of big daddy
Contains the following claims (or allegations):
- Biologists will want to throw you out of the class if you don't believe in evolution
- Biologists will want to have you jailed for mentioning Bible or creation in public schools
- It has never been against the law to teach the Bible or creation in public schools
- Biologists think that Carbon 14 proves evolution
- Biologists say there are six basic concepts of evolution
- Big Bang has never been observed
- Formation of heavier elements has never been observed
- Formation of stars and planets from gas has never been observed
- Abiogenesis has never been observed
- Macroevolution has never been observed
- Biologists think that Lucy is the oldest known ancestor of humans
- Richard Leakey found a normal human skull under a layer of rock dated at 212 million years
- Most experts now agree that Lucy was only an unusual chimpanzee
- One suggested ancestry line for humans is: Lucy, Heidelberg Man, Nebraska Man, Piltdown Man, Peking Man, Neanderthal Man, New Guinea Man, Cro-Magnon Man, Modern Man
- Heidelberg Man was built from a jaw bone that was conceded by many to be quite human
- Peking Man was supposedly 500,000 years old, but all evidence has disappeared
- New Guinea Man dates way back to 1970 and has been found in the region just north to Australia
- Fossils are dated from strata; strata are dated from fossils
- Polystrate fossils indicate massive sudden deposition
- Human embryos don't have gill slits
- Haeckel's embryo drawings were proven wrong in 1874 and are still in biology books
- Vestigial organs may have functions
- The tail bone is not vestigial since there are nine muscles that attach to it
- Whales' pelvis bones serve as anchor points for muscles
- Without the pelvis whales cannot reproduce
- Vestigial organs are just evidence of decay, not evolution
- Gluons don't exist since no one has seen them, so it must be God who holds the nucleus together
- People will stop believing in evolution after you feed them creationist arguments
