"Kind of blows pete and his rather insulting assertions out of the water."

Rather insulting, Musket??!! Unbelievably ignorant, arrogant and stupid, I'd say! pete keeps demanding that we supply him with EVIDENCE! But he needs to be reminded that Darwin's 'Origin' was published in 1859 - over 150 years ago. And since that time thousands of the best brains in the world have spent millions of hours between them gathering, analysing and evaluating the evidence for evolution. And most of that evidence has been published in countless books and scientific papers - all available for pete and his creationist chums to read if they really wanted to. As I keep reminding pete, Richard Dawkins recent book, 'The Greatest Show on Earth', is an admirable, and readily available, summary of the evidence to date. I note, though, that pete would rather read the creationist "refutation" instead.
No doubt he would plough through Dawkins' book indignantly asserting, "I don't believe this and I don't believe that!" And I suspect that that disbelief is because the scientific evidence doesn't accord with the creation myths of a bunch of Bronze Age desert tribesman. Those myths might represent an interesting historical curiousity - if they hadn't, rather unhealthily, dominated Western thinking for the last millenium or so. pete and co., it's time you moved out of the Middle Ages and into the 21st century ... or, at the very least, into the mid-19th!
