Quote the crazy:
Young Earth creationist Joseph Mastropaolo, argues that "Change over time, 'definition one' of evolution, actually describes devolution to extinction, the exact opposite of evolution.... actual epidemiological data from human genetic disorders and fatal birth defects, identify 'natural selection,' the alleged 'primary mechanism' for evolution, as actually a mechanism for devolution to extinction, the exact opposite of evolution." and elsewhere, "Evolution is the development of an organism from its chemicals or primitive state to its present state. Devolution is the sequence toward greater simplicity or disappearance or degeneration."

Emphasis mine. Joey is the dude offering the $10K.

The part bolded is wrong. Scratch a creationist and find someone completely, utterly, totally ignorant of science.

There is no such thing as "devolution" or "reverse evolution," in this context.

Crazy's website. Crazy's contest rules. Looks you have to put up $10K of your cash against his. No word on what judge he'll pull out of his ass, as I can't think of any U.S. judge, even Judge fucking Judy, that would waste their time arbitrating such a case. I don't even know what the "case" would be and, consequently, how'd you have standing to get in front of a judge.

There is absolutely nothing to be gained by debating crazy. If they didn't have their own version of reality, they wouldn't be crazy in the first place.
