Why they didn't quote from Hitching as they did at the Evolution Book? Or is it because he WASN'T a scientist at all, and he was involved with the Occult? They cannot break away from their roots, can they?
If God chose to create the world and humans by evolution whats wrong about it? The facts show that we have been involved indeed. We can see it by the graduate evolution of the spieces on earth, and the Book of Genesis does not have any contradiction with science. It is the Christian foundamentallists like WT that have such a kind of attitude, in order to support their theology that the Bible is infalible and the only expression of the Word of God.

"To say that a few thousand species can mutate into millions in just a few millennia is ridiculous! How they can disregard evolution and yet believe THIS is beyond me. It's the same thing, just squished into an inadequate timescale."
This is compounded by the prospect that all pre-flood animals came from a uniformly warm-temperature environment, as asserted by the WTS (that water-canopy thing). They're proposing near-instantaneous evolution of entire ecosystems based in colder environments.
