I'm writing a persuasive essay on why creationism is, well, retarded. In
German.
It should be fun; I'm just going to summarize the easiest arguments to rebutt. The hardest (or most tedious) part will be looking up all the scientific words not in the typical curriculum for students learning German.
That's right folks!

Alfred, I am sure that you have everything covered, but if you need some help with the biology let me know. One of my degrees is in biology.

The problem is that while your information would likely be totally awesome, I have to translate it correctly, which is easier said than done. I'm trying to stick to the general stuff, without having to get into complicated numbers and figures and names of things.
'S a shame the German department here doesn't offer scientific German, because I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat.

K-rist! I'd have a hard enough job doing it in English let alone German. Good luck!
