So when the post says "This is a homework question, but both me and my math teacher weren't able to figure it out", we are skeptical about the qualification and treat it as any homework question. Our aim is always to provide

O it's no problem, I would be happy to give my arguments if you like, I enjoy debates/intellectual discussions, especially when the aim is greater understanding. I must admit that most of the arguments I have actually seen are rather poor. Most creatists seem to think that they must argue that things

I don't know specifically where but I don't take positions without good justifications for them, and I have found good justifications for creationism. These are based on logic and by in large are not opposed to the vast majority of scientific results. One thing that bother's me is the frequent use of

I am not a creationist but I was not trying to pick a fight with you over it. Where I was coming from was this; when I posted the link to the creationist site, I particularly chose one (of the many out there) that seemed to put forward the creationist arguments in a detailed, factual and rational

If you have access to a Mac running OS X, there's a program in the
Utilities folder (under Applications) which will quite happily graph implicit functions for you. It can also be used to get the real/imaginary and modulus of a complex function as a 3-d graph.

I went ahead and read the article you mentioned, horribly written. They know the main flaw in the theory of evolution CONCERNING the origin of the species, but they have failed to properly exploit it.
