Er valt meestal toch niet echt serieus te discussiëren met creationisten, dus je kunt het ook anders aanpakken.

“Hiiiiiii!” I shouted like a maniac at anyone within earshot. “Yow!” I yelped in unison with one firm clap of my hands. I bounced in the wheelchair with glee, for I was among God’s special people. I almost envied them in a way. Unencumbered by reason and logic, their minds drowned with sweet ignorance and incredible fairytales, they were the true freaks. You have to admire that sort of commitment to delusion. I let a strategic pool of saliva slowly dribble from my gapping maw. I wanted to fit in.

Message Board Poster Overturns Evolution; World of Science Agog

A new theory of how life develops, posted on an Internet message board, has sent biologists back to the drawing board.

Declaring that “science has absolutely no idea what it is that makes an animal what it is,” the poster, Guzman, unveiled on Sunday his own theory that includes thinking molecules, the inheritance of acquired characteristics, the demotion of mutations from their presumed central role in evolution, and prayer.

“Molecules have minds,” Guzman explained, “and when prey approaches a predator, the molecules think what do. ‘Dear God,’ the molecules say, ‘we pray that the prey of which we are a part will instantly sprout some pointed spines or big teeth or something, to scare off that animal that is about to eat it and us.’”

If the organism is worthy, Guzman emphasized, “the Angel of the Lord” descends upon it, and grants the molecules’ prayers. But if the organism has been bad, Guzman noted, God refuses to answer the molecules’ prayers, and the organism perishes.

“My theory explains both extinction and the development of new traits,” Guzman said. “God does not answer the prayers of the molecules of bad organisms, and those organisms get what they deserve: they are cast into the Outer Darkness.”

But, Guzman added, “The prayers of the molecules of good organisms are answered, and then the new trait that the organism acquires by the grace of God is then passed on to its offspring.”

Guzman called his theory “the predator and pray paradigm.” Random mutations, Guzman noted, play no role in his theory, because “no structure can come from random activity. Everyone knows that from the random, you only get the random.”

Biologists were speechless.

“Jebus Christ, I’m speechless,” the biologist P.Z. Myers wrote at his well-known science blog, Pharyngula. “I’m just — I can’t — I — I — ahhhh!”

Not everyone was as praiseworthy as Myers. Some biologists complained that the visual materials that Guzman posted with his theory were unclear at best, and misleading at worst.

The charts, which Guzman created with Crayola crayons, labeled “genes” as “jeans,” and identified “atoms” as “Adams” (though it was unclear late on Sunday whether the latter was a deliberate reference to the Biblical first man). A diagram of a cell showed a circle, with curlicue-like markings inside. “Stuff Here,” the cell was labeled, with a crude arrow pointing to its interior.

Apprised of the new theory, Francis Collins, the head of the human genome project, said, “The scientific community will need to rethink some long-held views."
