I didn't need to be persuaded that evolution happened.

In fact, upon finding out in my teens that there were people that rejected it, I can say that my reaction was one of utter confusion. Why on earth would someone believe it not to be true? It seemed pretty obtuse and a little alien, like objecting to atomic theory or something similar for no reason whatsoever.

Anyway, suffice to say, I'm little more educated about the whole movement against evolution now. And, however confused you are about the nature of evolution and the proof for it, I have to say that; what I'm going to talk about is the most blindingly obvious proof for evolution by natural selection, and should provoke a bleedingly hard facepalm.

What I'm talking about is all of the glaring mistakes that evolution has produced. Not just an oversight, maybe done on friday afternoon after a grueling week's creatin'. Glaringly obvious, what-the-hell-are-you-doing-are-you-drunk, type mistakes.
