Though this topic doesn't directly pertain to religion, I think it needs to be addressed. Failure to accept (or even consider) scientific concepts has led to the attempted insertion of religious bullshit, for lack of a better word, in science classrooms.
I'm certain that most of the atheist community is familiar with all of the reasons for why this is complete and total hogwash, so consider this a free-to-share page explaining it to evolution-deniers of all stripes.
Let's have a look at the basics...

I understand. It's difficult, dear Creationist. All that sciency talk sounds like jibberish. Allow me to translate for you.
A scientific theory explains why something happens and is based on observations and enables predictions that can be tested.

Incorrect. Here are 8 Examples of Observable Evolution.
Then there's this little gem of an argument.
This is just willful ignorance. A very brief Google search provides a large List Of Transitional Fossils.
But I'm sure the devil put those there to confuse everybody right?

"But it's not the LAW of Evolution!"
These two bring up an interesting point, albeit incorrectly. Evolution indeed is not a law and can never be a law.
A theory explains why something happens. A law describes how it happens.
Perhaps an simplified example will help clarify.
The Law Of Gravity allows you to predict the gravitational force between two objects.
The Theory Of Gravity explains why that works.

There, I've done your homework for you. I know this doesn't address all of the issues. Perhaps I will end up doing a Part 2.
