A creationist on twitter is pestering me to ‘debate’ her. Here’s a sampling of her arguments and style.
No way can we have a conversation about that in a 140 character limit. So I’m telling her to come here and expand on her ideas, if she can.
But first, I’d like her to answer a little quiz to see if she’s worth wasting time on.
-
What is a typical mutation rate? (be specific about the units!)
-
Are most mutations deleterious, neutral, or beneficial?
-
What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?
-
What is the difference between mutation and “deformity”?
-
What is “elephant disease”?
That’s a start. I’m going to tell her on Twitter to come here and address these very simple questions. Anyone want to take bets on whether she bothers?
