Faking itRakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."
So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

The EyeCreationists ... sorry ... Intelligent design enthusiasts will also often bring up the example of the Eye. How can such a complex organ evolve with no intelligent guidence?, surely something as complex as the Eye cannot be plucked from thin air as natural selection suggests?
well, excellant work by Nilsson and Pelger not only demonstrates exactly how the eye has evolved, but also how an eye can evolve from a crude patch of light sensitive cells within less than 400,000 generations. (assuming a generation is 1 year, a generous assumption for lower order creatures), an eye can evolve in less than half a million years under the right condidtions.
Always drop the names Nilsson and Pelger into any conversation you are unlucky enough to have with creationists and other wackos
