I am doing a mock trial on evolution. I am on Charles Darwin side and I have Herman Bumpus, Thomas Malthus, Charles Darwin, Kettlewell, and Alfred Wallace as my witnesses.
The other side is Jean Baptiste Lamarck. They have Ian Malcolm (The Lost World), a Paleontologist, A farmer, Erasmus Darwin, and Lamarck as witnesses.
THe case is, we have to defend our theory and prove the others wrong. I already know Darwin is correct but thye have awesome debaters on their side. So if you guys can dgive me advice or any thigns that could hurt me so i can defend against it. ALso i need some things to target Lamarack and his witnesses. and things tod efend mine

thats the thing, we can use reference of today but for example if i am questioning lamarck i can't bring up george mendel later on cuz he existed after lamarck did.
Thanks for the help guys. If you guys have some more information on attacking the farmers and paleontologists and erasmus darwin that would be good.
One problem that might hurt me is the fact they might say :
If charles darwin theory is right, then how come humans and other species don't look alike. I don't know how to dfend that. I can't say anything cuz it is true that we all descend from one organism.
The case is going to be Next Thursday the 29th so i need to do a lot of preparing.
If people also help me on ian malcolm, that would be great also. I got out witnesses all set but im not sure if they can be attacked at all. The kettlewell thing might hurt us but it didn't really matter cuz its logic that birds will probably eat the butterfly they see first and kettlewell proved camoulflage and stuff like that
