I don't think you know what genes are. Generally speaking, the genes in identical twins don't change much if at all from birth to death, but on the other hand...
You may not know this, but genes are designed to be mutable. That's not evolution
Actually, that's pretty much what evolution is.
If you throw out evolution, you have to throw out one of these ideas: the theory that an organisms devolopment is an expression of its genetic material, the theory that an organism inherits its genetic material, the theory that the genetic material is mutable.
Now, all of these are pretty hard to refute, but if they're all true then evolution has to logically follow.
It's about effectiveness. A dog is in to your chickens, a little bird shot to the but will send him packing and he won't come back unless he's dumb as a post. Now, if he is dumb as a post, you either have to kill him, chain him up which is no life for a dog, or stand guard over your chickens all day which is no life for a man.
It's a time honored American tradition to shoot your neighbor's wayward animals, although in this case if you just wing the cat a couple of times it will probably get the message.
He has a point, though. If Bush were PM instead of president, his first act would have been to revoke the BBC charter and put his own henchmen in charge of it.
And his party would have gone along with it like lemmings.
I've never grown out of that excitement either, but I have grown out of the ability of enjoying them for more than a few minutes.
So while my game addiction still hurts my bank account, it doesn't eat up my time. Or wouldn't if I didn't spend hours reading about cool games on Slashdot that I'll never bother to play.

Huh, my four year old son has learned the alphabet (except c and v and other unused chracters) from playing nethack, as well as the vi movement keys because he plays on a laptop.
It's interesting that he can get four or five levels into the game with out even knowing that there's any combat going on.
How about "stare in disbelief at the shear incompetence" in place of "laugh"? Then you'll have it.
Isn't it wonderful that out of the axis of evil, we've only dealt with the one nation that was least crazy and least nuclear?

But you do have to throw out at least one of them if you want to throw out evolution.

What you have to ask yourself is why were the parents so upset? Why did they complain?
Who does a detective trust in a murder case? The physical evidence or the witness?
Yes, actually it has.
Can you site an example of something that's a law but not a theory?
I'd say that 99.99999% of parents want their kids' teachers to be way above the norm in both knoweldge and insight.
This isn't really about education, it's part of a political war waged by the Poor Persecuted Fundamentalists against the rest of us.

The fossil record. DNA.
It doesn't, but when is the Tolkien estate going to be rounded up for leaching of their ancestor's genious at the expense of the public?
Can anyone explain to me why it's their right to hold copyrights in perpetuity?

It's no more than you'd pay for filing clerk to work 2 months.

The sun is already way hotter than burning hydrogen, and any water that did form would immediately be blown apart again, I'd guess.
What's the last big story broke by NPR? Anita Hill harrasment allegations?
And his party would have gone along with it like lemmings.
I'd dare say the world would be better off. Heck, if they just burned 200 billion one dollars bills the world would be much better off.
I have friends that got just as addicted to PQ as to EQ.

Whatever happened to Freenet? I'm not sure if it's an "open ditributed proxy" but wasn't the whole point of it to solve this kind of problem?
Further proof that his talent is on lone from God.
