1. "Carbon dating isn't accurate to determine the date of the earth"

Well, perhaps that's why carbon dating isn't the preferred method for dating rocks and fossils, in fact there are a great many methods of radiometric dating that is measuring the decay of radioactive elements in rocks, fossils, and meteorrides, and those methods can confidently measure the age of planet earth to be 4.54 billion years old. *U.S. Geological Survey.

2. "You can't prove evolution".

As opposed to proving the young earth theory from primitive documents, well actually, man has unlocked the world of genetics, to reveal that all the living things have and do evolve and that similarities exists between the DNA of plants, animals, and humans alike. 98% of the chimpanzee, yeast 26%. mouse 92%, a weed 18%, fruit fly 44%. Evolution is observable, provable sciene. To quote the famous paleotonologist / evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould:

"Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefor cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonesense."

3. "If man evolved from monkeys, why do we still have monkeys?"

First of all, we evolved from chimpanzees, and this is like asking, "If america was colonised by the english, why do we still have England?"

4. "The human eye is to complext to have evolved."

This argument is also known as irreducible complexity, this gross oversimplification ignores creatures like the single cell Euglena (evolved antennae for light), molusks and jellyfish have evolved varying grades of vision, plus, consider this, The human eye is more poorly constructed and much less accude than the eye of an octopuss, or the great horned owl, did God care more about the design of the great horned owl than his own children?

5. "Atheism is actually a religion".

Mhmmm, indeed, much like not collecting stamps might be called a hobby, or, not smoking might be called a habit.

6. "Oh yeah? But scientist 'X' believes in God".

That's nice, so did icons like Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) who also lived during the time of dirt floor, bleeding sick people to cure them of illness, and burning witches at the stake, Sir Isaac Newton was a beliver and theologian, he was also an alchemist, if Newtons theory of that metals had magic powers would be true, that would be a difference, but it isn't.

The fact is, *93% of the members of the National Academy of Sciences reject the concept of a God.

*"The Nation" - June 2007. That's not just a majority, that's an oveerwhelming majority.

In fact, this is just some sampling of the republical scientific organisation that rejects the existence of God and support evolution by natural causes:

*Alabama Academy of Science

*American Geological Institute

*Association for Women Geoscientists

*Botanical Society of America

*California Academy of Science

*Ecological Society for America

*Genetics society for America

*Pennsylvania academy of science

*Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Ottawa center.

7. "So you're saying that everything happened by 'chance'?"

No, well chance certanly plays a part in the evolutionary cycle, but natural selection promotes non-random change of specific desirable traits over time. Living organisms didn't just pop into existence by chance, but they did evolve over millions, sometimes billions of years.

8. "America was founded as a Christian Nation" (To those who lives in America)

Actually, the american constitution never mentions God, and the mention of religion in Article 6 says:

"...No religious test shall ever be requiered as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States".

The words :"In God we trust" wasn't printed on the coin until 1863, after a religious church under the civil war did it, paper money didn't have it until' 1957, the words "Under God" wasn't even in the original pledge of a legion.

"I pledge an allegiance to my Flag and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". They were added in congress in 1954, and many of our founding fathers, were either deist, or endilivent about the christian God, including, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, John Adams, Thomas Paine, and even George Washington.

9. "The second law of thermodynamics"

We love this argument, since it is thrown out so flippinly, and with so little understanding, in a nutshell, the second law of thermodynamics says that systems must become more dishordered over time, so, complex living cells and organisms couldn't have come out from basis enanamic chemicals, in other words, more time means more chaos, what creationists feel to mention is that this law only works in a closed system, where no energy and matters, leaves or enters. The earth is not a closed system, it recieves outside heat and light from our suns nuclear fusions, fueling simple organisms so that they can become more complex by consuming other forms of life and non-living materials.

Here's an easy way to frustrate creationists arguments:

When a chrisian brings up the second law of thermodynamics, ask him/her/hen what the other two laws are.

When he/she/hen shrugs air in space, You'll know how truly informed he/she/hen is on the subject.

10. Our worse and favorite: "Hitler was an atheist."

Well, actually, Hitler was raised as a Roman- Catholic, here to qoute you from a thing he said:

"I am now as before a catholic and will always remain so."

In Mein Kempf, Hitler writes about the 'Creator of the universe' and that the arian race was created by God, his religious views remains in dispute, but using the name of the history's greatest tyrannt, isn't an argument. It's a provocation that has nothing to do with the concept of evolution or creation. Envoking hitler is an great sign on how you are losing the debate, designed to distract people from the true evidence that God only exists in the imagination of a man.
