As, we've (educated people) have another foe to fight, not AiG, nor, ICR, Ian Booby. I'll be debunking his nonsense one at a time. Okay, so hear is his most ludicrous claims. 1, "Dino footprints have been found with man footprints", well no, it's all forgeries. 2,"The earth isn't over populated", well we have 7 billion people on this planet.
Note
I haven't looked into the crank that much, but I'll be doing more debunking soon.

Genetics
Genetics is the study of genes, allele frequencies, mutations, and heredity. Here is the material from Wikipedia.
Genetics deals with the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behavior in context of a cell or organism (e.g. dominance and epigenetics), patterns of inheritance from parent to offspring, and gene distribution, variation and change in populations, such as through Genome-Wide Association Studies. Given that genes are universal to living organisms, genetics can be applied to the study of all living systems, from viruses and bacteria, through plants and domestic animals, to humans (as in medical genetics).
The fact that living things inherit traits from their parents has been used since prehistoric times to improve crop plants and animals through selective breeding. However, the modern science of genetics, which attempts to understand the process of inheritance, only began with the work of Gregor Mendel in the mid-19th century.[6] Although he did not know the physical basis for heredity, Mendel observed that organisms inherit traits by way of discrete units of inheritance, which are now called genes.
Genes correspond to regions within DNA, a molecule composed of a chain of four different types of nucleotides—the sequence of these nucleotides is the genetic information organisms inherit. DNA naturally occurs in a double stranded form, with nucleotides on each strand complementary to each other. Each strand can act as a template for creating a new partner strand. This is the physical method for making copies of genes that can be inherited.
The sequence of nucleotides in a gene is translated by cells to produce a chain of amino acids, creating proteins—the order of amino acids in a protein corresponds to the order of nucleotides in the gene. This relationship between nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequence is known as the genetic code. The amino acids in a protein determine how it folds into a three-dimensional shape; this structure is, in turn, responsible for the protein's function. Proteins carry out almost all the functions needed for cells to live. A change to the DNA in a gene can change a protein's amino acids, changing its shape and function: this can have a dramatic effect in the cell and on the organism as a whole.
Although genetics plays a large role in the appearance and behavior of organisms, it is the combination of genetics with what an organism experiences that determines the ultimate outcome. For example, while genes play a role in determining an organism's size, the nutrition and health it experiences after inception also have a large effect.

New Scientist
Ahhh... New 'Scientist', a (non)peer-reviewed science blog. FULL OF BALONEY and other errors.
One controversial issue was the "Was Darwin Wrong", which moronic creationists quote-mined. I'm sick of the nonpeer-reviewed bullcrap that spews out of that blog...

Does god exist?
Does god exist? I mean who would be asking this question, could god exist sure why not, any evidence no, conclusion god is extremely unlikely to exist. We have a ton of scientific evidence to support this conclusion, including the fossil record, cosmic microwave backround, genetics, DNA, geological record. The God concept brings a paradox, one is simply to ask "Whom created God". That basically destroys there concept that everything needs a creator. Saying "God Dit It" is a large logical fallacy. It's called the argument from ignorance.
Creationist crap.
As you all might know i haven't posted anything for a while so this time I am gonna explain the fallacies of several creationist claims, number 1. Dinosaurs coexisted with man if man coexisted with dinosaurs we have to be finding poodle fossils with trilobites or giraffe fossils with sauropods. Number 2. Water can carve the grand canyon in five minutes, well that is five times the speed of sound to carve something that deep and long in five minutes.
Critic of youtube
On youtube videos about science are being destroyed and unplayable which gets me mad. Don't worry there not like that anymore must of been an error.
Anctient Aliens Debunked
So We have all watched The history channel's show Ancient Aliens. Well In this series of blog posts I will be debunking it. The levitation device is a supposed tool used by these aliens to lift huge rocks but we clearly see drag marks.
