Here's a video that discusses some misconceptions of evolution as well:

Creator or Evolution? Confused...
by Newborn ini don't feel i have to know the truth about how life started or where we're coming from etc, but can't help thinking abt it anyway now and then.
guess it's only natural.. right now i feel really clueless and that i have too little knowledge abt the darwin, big bang theory.... (i was always taught by the dubs that darwin questioned his own theory...but was it really so?)..
i have a close friend who's sure of the evolution but can really the complex and wonderful life and nature come abt by chance (even though he says it's not chance...).

The evidence for evoultion is overwhelming. Can you mention a few??
It truly is overwhelming. To me some of the most compelling lines of evidence that prove common descent are found in genetics.
TalkOrigins.org (already pointed out) is a fantastic source for information. However, some may find the articles a bit hard to understand...especially if they are first delving into the evidences for evolution.
SeattleNiceGuy (used to post here) wrote some great articles on evolution. You might find them interesting. Here are the first couple which deal with genetic proof of evolution:

The alternative to Creation is ultimately - Nothing Made Everything - which defies the basic rules of science. The key one being cause and effect - Every effect MUST have a cause.
This isn't necessarily correct. Energy could have always existed in some form. Who said it had to be created from nothing?
And how does "God" fix this problem? He himself either has always existed (like perhaps energy did) or he was created by nothing (or another God, in which case you must question that God's origin).

i had the tonight show w/ conan o'brien playing in the background, at first i was shocked to hear what i heard, yet very happy to see what was being prominently displayed in public view for the entire world to see (as the show is syndicated internationally)!
yup, the study version of our dear watchtower with the words announcing jehovah's kingdom prominently on the front cover.

I think most JWs eat this stuff up. Being on the butt end of a joke fulfills several needs they have. It strokes their ego because it proves to them that people know of them and their preaching work and it fills the need they have to feel that they are being persecuted by the "world".
Absolutely!
And you know that some JW's actually enjoy seeing "apostates" and "opposers" making comments. They love being "persecuted." One JW was even surprised that no apostates had made an appearance in the comment section (yet).

Someone in the comments suggested JWs look up more info on the 607BC date. A JW replied:
Apparently you feel secure that the ancient historical dates you've learned in college(or in the library or in a comfortable chair in a bookstore) aren't open to question. You seem to feel that it's not possible for one to be inadvertently mislead or even purposely duped by those sources. Not a wise stance. Certainly if an almighty God exists and the Bible is the means by which he's chosen to communicate with man, he has the power to make sure that it's understood accurately. If Jehovah's Witnesses are the channel he's using, time will tell whose dates were right. The question is, should you stake your future on the authorities you've chosen to put stock in? Why are they worthy of such faith?
Wow...the irony....

Look at this comment:
Great skit, Conan.......thank you. Hey, no apostates yet!!! What's this???? Could they have collectively found a life for themselves. You mean they're not spending their useless hours surfing the internet and have not yet hapened upon this skit??? Too bad.....would have been a good laugh as well to hear from one of those lifeless, pathetic, sods

Yup, the study version of our dear Watchtower with the words Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom prominently on the front cover. It was over-sized and appeared to be an exact duplicate of our precious magazine.
Soon the day will come that people worldwide can't ever say they've never heard of us.........
Instead of downloading it I uploaded it for you to watch streaming here:I don't think I've ever heard a JW say that about, you know, the BIBLE. lol
