Great a teenager that thinks he is smarter than all adults; including those with Phd's and decades of actual hands on experience.
Now let me critique your comments above in light of the trends of our educational system over recent decades. That is the introduction of phonetic spelling, new math and relaxed standards for qualifications to be a teacher and the use of hand calculators instead of learning the times tables, etc.
The consequence simply put is that kids today, through no fault of their own, have been cheated of an education and cannot spell, read nor think logically.
Now there are exceptions to the general rule and to be fair to you I have restrained my judgement until now. Sometimes posters here are using English as a second language and poor word usage or spelling, or even typo's are really not appropriate to comment on but you have now indicated to me at least that that is not the problem with your communication skills:
(My unnumbered rewrites follow your numbered quotes)
#1 - Did you ever
went you UW? (University of Washington)
"Did you ever
go toUW? (University of Washington)"
"
Have you ever attended classes atUW? (University of Washington)"
#2 - "Anyway
s, continue criti
.zing me. "
"Anyway, continue criti
cizing me. "
"In any case please feel free to continue criti
cizing me. "

This is very good observation, on how adults act on stuff like this.
"Posts here have provided very good demonstrations of how adults respond when challenged by a more youthful person."
(Sorry for the complete re-write but your composition is almost unintelligble)
#4 -
Good stuff but so far I am very disappointed with the reactions of "adults"
"These discussions have been interesting but so far I have been very disappointed with the responses"
(Ditto on the comosition comment above) Also you don't know the age of the posters you are responding to so your comment directed at "adults" is inappropriate.
To wrap this up.
a - Like it or not you are 15. You do not know everything and certainly do not know more than all, or even most, adults regardless of their educational background and certainly you do not know enough about evolution to challenge those that wrote the books you are studying from and those that are working hands on in the field advancing our knowledge.
b - While you seem to be more knowledgable than most 15 year olds and claim to have a zeal for science, you appear more interested as being viewed as a genius or prodigy; which you clearly are not.
c - If your writing and composition skills are at the level indicated above, I must question your reading and mathematics capabilities as well. Perhaps that explains why you fail to understand the simple mathematical propagations of evolutionary mutations. Or why you failed to respond to my simplified demonstration of the almost incomprehensible magnitude of mutations available in a breeding population from which actual evolutionary change advances and why you haven't responded to the challenge to show the steps for extracting the square root of a number by pencil and paper and your own mind.
SUMMARY: THE ADULTS ARE EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IN YOU. You want respect learn to give it. Learn to listen before you speak. Your making snide or derogatory comments about others understandings or making claim that something is impossible simply because it violates your ability to comprehend, is not good science nor a means of learning science.
Your time has been wasted here. Not that we can't learn from you but that we have already learned science as it is generally understood and you can't teach us what you do not understand yourself. You really do not understand the process which you claim is invalid.
Understand this: I do not fault you entirely. But the simple truth is that getting an "A" today in most schools is the equivelent of getting a "C" or "D" just a few decades ago. So being "Top of Your Class" no longer has meaning. You have to be truely superior and not just meet todays standards.
