No, Rev, you're right. If a source is written by a Christian, even a Young Earth Creationist, it is worthy to be read, if they are looking at, testing, and interpreting the available evidence objectively.
If the source is starting out from the standpoint that no other viewpoint but the one they are espousing can possibly be correct, that is what makes it an unreliable source. The very mission statement from AiG is that evolution cannot be true, before they even look at the evidence.
How can you possibly think this is a reliable method for testing the evidence that we see around us?
ETA: If you see any of us post a source from a site with a mission statement along the lines of "Our mission is to disprove religious claims, because no matter what, there are no gods and we seek to prove that through our research and bring people to atheism. Atheism is inerrant truth, and everything we look at will be through that lens." Feel free to disregard that source. Just get in line.
"Molecule to Man" evolution can not be true because it goes against what Scripture teaches. That is probably why they take that stance.

If evolution isn't true then why does ken ham look like a monkey?
That's just not right.

Profound but we believe science and the Bible are in harmony.

If you come here asking questions about transitional forms, why is it unreasonable to expect that you should have to learn more about transitional forms? Why should we have to learn more about Hebrew mythology to "balance out" you looking into your own questions about evolution?
If you're not interested in actually learning about evolution and are only asking these questions to prove us wrong, then you're being dishonest. Before Easter, you said you would be asking seven questions, and that if you got good answers, you'd leave. Not that I'm telling you to leave, but you gave the impression you were willing to learn.
I said I would present 7 arguments and leave if I felt that have been addressed satisfactory. I would like to present Argument #2.
