From Katie Talbot

Your report is remarkably sparse regarding the scientific facts. You accuse
creationists of cherry-picking, “discarding anything that doesn’t fit”. I
suggest that the evolutionist is guilty of committing that very offence. When
recently completing an A-level project about evolution, I was surprised at the
gaping holes in the theory. As a believer in six-day literal creation, I
expected to come across hard arguments in favour of evolution with which to
grapple, but found that evolutionists have little evidence to discuss, and take
the concept for granted.
