Creationists will always be creationists because they can't be convinced by reason and evidence.

It's a complete waste of time to explain evidence for evolution to a Christian or Muslim science denier. They are not interested in the evidence. They have no desire to understand evidence. They are not able to understand evidence. Instead of at least trying to understand scientific evidence, if they don't completely ignore it, they assume it's wrong and so they invent problems with it, but what they think are problems are really misconceptions. They just don't get it. Perhaps if they really tried to understand there could be some progress, but the last thing a science denier will ever do is try to understand what he's denying.

Of course their problem is their religious indoctrination, but that's not the most important reason they can't grow up. Creationists are creationists because they're just plain stupid.

Try showing a Bible thumper or a terrorist this paragraph from the Encyclopedia Britannica and see what happens.

The authority of this kind of test is overwhelming; each of the thousands of genes and thousands of proteins contained in an organism provides an independent test of that organism’s evolutionary history. Not all possible tests have been performed, but many hundreds have been done, and not one has given evidence contrary to evolution. There is probably no other notion in any field of science that has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as the evolutionary origin of living organisms.

If creationists were normal instead of insane they would probably want to do some research to find out why the best encyclopedia in the world would write something like There is probably no other notion in any field of science that has been as extensively tested and as thoroughly corroborated as the evolutionary origin of living organisms.

But creationists have no curiosity. They don't want to know anything. Curiosity is a natural characteristic of our species. Our curiosity is why we have learned so much about the world and the universe we live in. Creationists don't have it. Their curiosity was sucked out of them thanks to several years of relentless religious brainwashing. There's no cure. It's a terrible pathetic waste of a life but nothing can be done for these brain damaged tards.

  1. Not directed at creationists alone, but the whole spectrum of religious fantasies, there's an excellent summation from the UK here:

  3. The website you provided talked about Laplace. When Napoleon asked why didn't he invoke the creator, Laplace said "Je n'avais pas besoin de cette hypothèse-là."
