Scott Huse

| Running gags |
Scott M. Huse is acreationist who authored the bookThe Collapse of Evolution, which has gone through several editions and is still in print.[1]
The book is a haphazard compilation of just about every bad argument for creationism and then some. The usualPRATTle is pratted out for our edification (evolution violates theSecond Law of Thermodynamics; there are notransitional fossils;radiometric dating cannot be trusted,ad nauseam).
It is riddled with factual errors. For example:
- Claims that according to evolutionary theory,humans descended frombirds
- Also claims that evolutionists believe the duck-billedplatypus is the evolutionary link betweenbirds andmammals[2]
- Claims that human anddinosaurfossilshave been found alongside each other, and this disproves evolution
- Cites a scientist who won the 1971Nobel Prize in physics[3] as "winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in science"
It includes an appendix titled "Scientific Facts that Prove Evolution."The page is blank.
