The mountains of verifiable evidence for the rather simple mechanisms of Evolution are so far above the levels and quality of evidence 'agin it' that it's patently laughable. And yet, hard-line Creationists persist in their ardent denials, especially those who just come out and naively blat...
"No! It's all just a fantasy, a "theory"!"
Or, even funnier, when they drag out one sitch where NatGeo, in all of it's >>100 yr history, publishes something that turns out to be partially fraudulent (like the date on that northern Chinese desert fossil; the rest of the info there was in fact verified and valid...), then well of course, everything NatGeo (or ditto, Scientific American) ever did, all of it, is invalidated. Not to mention (Ssshhhh!!...) that it's always either their own staff, or a scientist, who uncovers the fraud or mistake.
True intellectual honesty and scientific integrity on display, but let's ignore that too.
But well... if that's all yah got in the bag, then hey; go for it. I prefer more substantive stuff myself.
There will be a crescendo of denial from the naysayers, the desperation is palpable, and the search is on for anything and everything to deny facts is most assuredly on.
Standby for volumes of misrepresented information since evolution deniers are not always honest in representing the identity of the people they quote.
Examples:
"Dr. Etheridge, world-famous paleontologist of the British Museum is commonly quoted by evolution deniers but turns out to have been an obscure nineteenth century figure who was an assistant at the British Museum and was never famous at all.
Francis Hitching is sometimes represented as being a scientist by antievolutionist sources that quote him -- a "well-known evolutionist" as one antievolutionist put it -- when he was really a sensationalistic television script writer who was neither a scientist nor had scientific training.
Which in summation amounts to telling lies to support the unsupportable untruth, so let us not worry about the closed eyes or ears, the closed minds are the danger. Quotations and Misquotations
or just flat denial based on nothing will be offered as proof.
Hmmm. I wonder if Creationist denialist types would actually pause to read it. Else, if I were them and learned that my cohorts were lying through their teeth, I'd be a bit embarrassed to be so closely linked to such a rampant and erroneous source of purposeful prevarication....
This of course assumes they have a strong sense of positive, personal ethics and integrity, even if it might be problematic to their larger spiritual cause.
I like how they put "Was Darwin Wrong? on the cover in big red letters. Must have got all the creationist real excited there for a few moments.....till they opened up the magazine, that is.
They probably treated it as if it were on fire after reading the first page on the inside. Hot potato!

Yeah, NG pretty much just trolled evolution-naysayers.

indeed! The third rule of sales is 'Let 'em find out it wasn't what they thought it was - but only after they've paid for it'.
