Evolutionary PRATTS

Post fallacious pro-evolutionary arguments that have been put forth by evolutionists. Akin to to Creationist PRATTS ("Flood caused geological strata"; "Giraffes don't give birth to walruses"), but for evolution.

The only ones I can think of are the sort that angry teenaged atheists tend to post on GameFAQs: evolution proves that there's no God, creationism is wrong because it's dumb, etc.

"The Second Law of Thermodynamics only applies to closed systems."

"Evolution doesn't say humans descended from apes; it says apes and humans had a common ancestor."

"Micro- and macroevolution are terms invented by creationists."

This one is true but seems designed to do nothing but annoy people: "How could you possibly dispute the fact of evolution? You can observe allele frequencies in populations changing."

The biggest evolutionist PRATT I have seen here is: "Creationists are all idiots," or variants thereof. They may be intransigent, they may be deluded, they may be ignorant of certain things, but they are not generally speaking idiots or stupid people.

this can be corrected by inserting the word "modern" before "ape".

These are both correct; what's wrong about them?

Well, the second law doesnt go away just because it's not a closed system. The overall entropy of the universe is still increasing.
