Evolution vs. Creationism Database
Ever get into an discussion with a creationist or an ID’er, and they throw some factoid at you “proving” evolution is fake? Or have you just read some creationist tract and are interested in the other side? Or, even more challenging, are you a creationist or ID’er and you want a healthy test of your beliefs? (Ha! As if.)
Well, in any case, check out the Talk Origins Index to Creationist Claims. Even if it is of no immediate practical use, it’s a very well-documented and exhaustive list of “arguments” forwarded by creationists to “disprove” evolution, each with an excellent explanation of why each claim is bogus. From “evolution is only a theory” to the “half an eye” argument and far beyond, it’s all there. Very interesting reading.
And if you ever get the chance, watch this PBS documentary on evolution, narrated by Liam Neeson. Excellent series.
I saw a bumper sticker on the way home from work tonight that said:
Darwin is Dead – Jesus is Alive
The first thing that popped in my head was:
George Bush is Alive – The Constitution is Dead
Wow, Becky, what a strange thing to have pop into your head. What part of the Constitution is “dead” as a result of our President being alive?
