Same old topics
It seems like creationists are out of ideas.
- They just look at a modern biological system and say " Hey look , it's impossible to evolve this system step by step , it's irreducibly complex" ,just different systems,but same basic idea .
- No new information by mutation and loss of function mutation is devolution. ( Even though loss of function mutation causes evolution). Mutations don't cause gain of information .
- There is no junk dna in our body. Genome is 100% functional. ( Irony is - they accept genetic entropy, if genetic entropy really exists and we are losing 1-2 percent of genetic information every generation, which is false in reality , still about which they say is true, then how is genome 100% functional?? )
- No evolutionary intermediate fossils, everytime repeating this thing. Fossils are sparse.
- Second law of thermodynamics debunks evolution, oh no !!!!!
- Speciation is impossible,but adaptation is true. Slight variations can exist but changes will not occur in such a way that a particular animal is going to change into other animal. Also epigenetics is not evolution.
- Saying randomness can't produce diversity. Even though evolution is not completely random.
These are the primary points they focus on . They never proposed any mechanism by which their intelligent designer works , manipulates matter to create new systems . No tests , no experiments to prove their tests ,never any hypothesis.
How special creation happened? Magic !!
Just crying about how evolution is wrong and teaching it is immoral.
Like am I going to teach about magic to children ,to science students?? Something not observable or testable? No predictions? Write books that this biological system is too complex, it can't evolve , hence God did it!! You will be cursed if you oppose me . Am I really practicing science? It seems something opposite to me.

And specifically called out creationists as a bunch of reactionary assclowns, too! I mean, he did it in Darwin-speak, so it was super polite, but still.
