I was talking on chat about how the frustrating thing to me about creationism is that I think a lot of it is the result of just bad science education. Of course in some states that's deliberate, but even in states and schools where legislatures and educators want to teach science, they do a really bad job of it. Every creationist argument I've seen except one* stems from a misconstrual of evolution by natural selection, whether deliberate or not.
However online, the majority of the time I've run across "creation vs evolution" arguments, I see the people defending "evolution" conceding at least some of these mistakes, likely because their own science education is very good.
There are a couple people on TCS whom I think might be creationists, but we're all friends here, right? And I'd wager that the majority of TCS has a rather incomplete understanding of evolutionary biology. I didn't understand evolution by natural selection enough to refute all creationist arguments accurately until I took a college-level evolutionary biology course. And there's still a fair bit I'm certain I don't know; there's a lot that the best scientists don't know.
If anybody has any questions about evolutionary biology, evolution by natural selection, or even discredited alternatives such as Lamarckian evolution, feel free to ask them here; I won't judge you for asking a question that's "stupid." And if someone who isn't me wants to answer them, feel free, just be nice about it. If I think your answer is incomplete or inaccurate I'll correct it, also nicely.
*"The Bible says it's true and I believe every word the Bible says" is not something which can be argued with on scientific grounds. It can be argued with on theological grounds, but that is not my wheelhouse and is beyond the scope of this thread.
