T.O Wrote:Creationist claims are numerous and varied, so it is often difficult to track down information on any given claim. Plus, creationists constantly come up with new claims which need addressing. This site attempts, as much as possible, to make it easy to find rebuttals and references from the scientific community to any and all of the various creationist claims.
This is a good one-stop shopping place, however I find the best defense to creationist nonsense is truly understanding the science yourself. Evolution is a complex and deep science, and many people who attempt to defend it would do well to learn it better themselves first. The t.o site is no longer maintained (added to), but by reading the material at that site one can become better educated about the subject as a whole, and particularly the nuances that creationists like to exploit. (Talk.origins was originally a usenet newsgroup which primarily served as a place for evolutionists to answer common creationist claims, and much of the material generated is of highly professional quality.). There's probably books to recommend, but the only one I've read that's relevant is Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker, which, while good, isn't exactly a barnstormer.
Hello apopphenia thank you very much for repling yes i am actually in process of reading blind watchmaker and indeed am studying biology for quite a while now, but excuse me for not knowing all about it as you said it is a very diverse subject and equally complex as well, I have the sight bookmarked and have read through it couple of times but I am perhaps struck by his comment because it is rather unusual one he does of course has a great knowledge of science on biochemical level and although I do have an idea how to disprove him wrong I rather want to double check with more experienced evolutionary biologist if there is one.
with regards Jergus
