Book bikes are a recent and clever innovation in library outreach. They're bicycles or tricycles that have been modified to carry and display books and other library materials. Pictured above is one operated by the Denver Public Library. It carries popular books and is a wi-fi hotspot. A librarian rides it wherever people congregate and sets up shop. Thanks to the wi-fi connection, patrons can also get research assistance and download ebooks.

Here's a book bike run by the public library of Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Library volunteers ride it to playgrounds and parks and give away (not loan out, but give away) books to kids.
Would you like for your local public library to get a book bike?

Creationism is faith based, and requires no evidence.
Is your faith in God so very weak that it is necessary for you to deny reality? Is your faith strong enough for you to forgo all the benefits that evolution has brought to medicine, science, and agriculture?
The evolution of flowers is another important piece of the tapestry of life, of where we came from and to where we may go.
What has evolution brought to us in terms of science on its own basis?
THere is no evidence here for the evolution of plants, in fact plants pose quite the problem for uniformitarians. GQ I have to disagree. Since leading evolutionists cannot find sufficient intermediate fossils in the fossil record, the most commonly used argument is that punctuated equilibrium (sudden change) is the driving force of evolution. I think it is you that needs to do some reading. Evolutionists when confronted with a major issue and threat to their theory just stick their finger in the wind to see which way it blows and go with some other unprovable theory. Bozko makes a good point in why don't we see any intermediatary evolution taking place right now. I think i know why.
I believe what you mean to say is that no matter how many intermediate fossils we find, it is never sufficient enough for the creationists.
Research the quotes, you will find that even Steven J. Gould and others admit to there not being enough intermediates in the fossil record that is why they have come up with the punctuated equilibrium theory. Also science is observable and repeatable by definition. So if we are talking about evolution from a scientific debate, show me where an animal has changed from one kind to another that has been observed and repeated. There is not even a single case.
