honestly, i've never understood exactly why creationists are set against evolution.
They don't like the idea that we have a common ancestor as a fish.
​
Just think back in history. Everything that fundies have done in the past have always been something that puts the human species in the center of "creation". If we have a common ancestor with a dog or cat, it kinda defeats the purpose of humans being god's favorite.

do you know what current theories there are for changing numbers of chromosomes?
Here is one obvious one, but not so obvious for most people. The Y-chromosome is getting smaller my the generation. Many biologists think that it's going to disappear or join the X-chromosome in the distant future. Wouldn't that be sad? No more guys. Only ladies.

I've often wondered if we should not get together and start our own Creationist site.
If you ever become serious about this, count me in. I have heard enough creationist arguments, both in real life and online, that I believe I can come off as more a creationist than any genuine creationist can be. I've heard more creationist straw man than some creationists I know. Actually, sometimes I can make a better creationist argument than some creationists I know just because I know the technical stuff more than them.
​
I bet we can be far better than the real creationists out there because of our technical backgrounds.
