Would a creationist care to point out, succinctly if possible, some of the major points which he/she feels are failures of evolution, so that those of us who do not have time to wade through some very turgid literature (yes, I *have* tried) can marshall our counter-arguments ? -- Nigel Sharp [noao!sharp National Optical Astronomy Observatories]

A prominant biologgical ( I believe ) Scientist in England some time ago was involved in the study of complex microorganisms. From his study he was able to determine the odds that evolution actually occured, and he came up with 1 in 10 to the some hundreds power, which any mathmatician can tell you is essentially zero. He was largly ignored because no scientist wanted to admit that evolution was improbable. The article I saw this in appeared in the Buffalo News within the past 2 or 3 years, and contained references to some science magazines. I may be able to get my hands on the article in a couple of weeks, but I'm not sure. If anyone else saw this article, and has a copy, feel free to preempt me and post it.
