Who wants an easy $250K? Details inside!
How would you like to collect a cool 250K for proving a scientific theory? There is a prize up for grabs for the first person to prove EVOLUTION.

Found it from a link at www.fr.com

Come and get it.

1. In science, nothing can be proved with 100% certainty
Except in mathmatics.

It's an evolving (evolution) process that adds more data as it proceeds.

At present, the entire body of available data verifies evolution, but
not to 100% certainty. It's a loaded question.

3. there's an enormous amount of ignorance on that site (unsurprisingly)
-the universe is highly ordered? wildly subjective statement. personally i think it's pretty damn random.
-this planet has an amazing variety of life forms? well, let's see, they ALL require pretty much the same temperature range, pretty much the same pressure around them, more or less the same kind of nutrients, they're all built around the same basic molecule, etc. doesn't sound like all that much variety to me.
-man is the highest order life form? hmm, the cockroach will outlive us all....

besides, all the above has nothing to do with evolution, which he confuses with, among other things, the big bang.

oh, and of course, he's the judge of whether or not you've "proved" evolution, so he'll never pay up, of course.

4. I've read some of Hovind's debates
And he usually (read always) gets his ass handed to him in a basket.
But he's too dumb to know it.
