Here is a useful site about common misconceptions on Evolution:

http://www.evoled.org/lessons/miscon.htm#1

And THIS site goes much, much further. It covers ALL bases. "Index to Creationist Claims". I highly recommend this.

"Why do Americans pronounce the word 'evolution' as 'eh-vuh-loo-shee-un' when the British clearly pronounce it as 'EE-vuh-loo-shee-un'?"

Hm... I don't think either do. It's pronounced 'Ev-oh-loo-shun'. You added an extra syllable on both cases. No one, to my knowledge, does that.

The British are better with enunciation, which may explain why they add an emphasis on the first syllable.

Anyway, this is all irrelevant.

I commend you on trying to educate the ignorant.

This won't work. People who don't believe in evolution are simply going to get their knowledge of the world from religion, not science. There is no way to change their opinion on science when science means nothing to them. They want to believe in creationism, so they will. They won't read this and say "oh, now that science has been given to me, I understand why evolution is real".

Case in point: You were referred to a book, Tornado in a Junkyard, in one answer. I assume that this is a book against evolution. Ironic book to suggest to you considering you link directly addresses the tornado in a junkyard argument.

Oh, me, me!

OK here goes: Why does Americans pronnounce the word "evolution" as eh-vuh-loo-shee-un" when the British clearly pronnounce it as "EE-vuh-loo-shee-un"?!?

AGE OF EARTH AS A PLANET

AGE OF WORLD FROM ADAM AND EDEN

The bible math is correct.

The age of the earth and the age of the world are different.
People misrepresent things.

Gen.1:1,2 [ The earth and all exist here, it is evident ];
Gen.1:3 [ Earth is a focus for preparation here ];
Gen.1:11,12 [ Earth is a focus for plant life, plant life a priority,
needed extra light through earth protection shield, with seasons ];
Earth existing and in preparation ages, eras and eons before man begans his time in the world from Adam to #10 son Noah,
to #20 son Abraham and family to Moses and half a million Promised Land heirs, to #34 son David, Solomon and Judah kings to #48 son Zedekiah at Babylon Empire #3, captivity? 606 years to # 62 son Jesus in Roman Empire #6. Matt.1:1-17;
To now in 2006 years after Jesus.
Rev,20:1-6 [ No Satan ]; The 1000 year reign of Christ,
to all is perfect as before Eden.

TIMES AS GIVEN IN THE BIBLE
2Pet.3:5 [ heavens and earth old ];
2Pet.3:8 [ 1000 years as 1 day, = LORD ];
Psm.77:5 [ years of ancient times ];
Psm.90:2 [ earth and the world ];
Eph.1:4 [ Foundation of the world ];
Eph.3:5 [ Other ages ]; 2:7 [ future ages ];
Col.1:26 [ from ages and generations ];
Job.38:4-7 [Foundation of the earth ];
Job 37:12 [ world in the earth ];
John 17:3,5,24 [ Jesus with God before the world was, before Abraham 5:58 ];
Col.15-17 [ Jesus first creation created in image of God Rev.3:14];
Rev.20:1-6 [ 1000 year reign of Christ ];

May I recommend a reading that should be required for evolution. It is: Tornado In A Junkyard by James Perloff.
