My son needs some help [View all]

Dave Nutting, founder of the Alpha Omega Institute is coming to Clemson in a couple of days to give a talk entitled "Was Darwin Wrong?". I wanted to give my son a bullet point version of the case for evolution that could counteract Mr. Nutting's talk. Any information you could add to my list would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!
