This is roughly the equivalent of me fingerpainting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel ____2____ improve the work.
According to the ____3____ at the National Center for Science Education, the NCSE, who monitor efforts to interfere with evolution education in public schools, Comfort in his intro repeats ____4____ familiar anti-evolution claims. For example, that there"s a lack of transitional fossils and that the second law of thermodynamics makes evolution impossible.
