Creation vs Evolution

This directory is designed to cover the issues of origins, primarily biological, particularly those that deal with common descent, darwinism or neo-darwinism, abiogenesis and related topics. Some material referenced will deal with the broader topics of origins, such as the big bang, stellar evolution, etc.

Terms

Evolution (General)
Any site with information either promoting the scientific theory of evolution, especially biological evolution without a specific philosophical or theological slant. Museums and most general nature sites will go here.
Evolution (Theistic)
Any issue which deals with the relationship of divine guidance of the evolutionary process or the compatibility of theism with evolutionary theory. For the majority of theists who accept the theory of evolution, the physical description of the process will be no different than for a non-theist. You will find here also material on intelligent design and irreducible complexity where the advocate of those points does not postulate a special creation as an explanation.
Creation (OEC)
Any site that supports the view that the earth is old, i.e. much older than the 6-10 thousand years allowed by young earth creationists, but that special acts of God were required in producing some or most species, in the creation of life, and particularly in the production of human life. Ruin-and-restoration sites are also listed here.
Creation (YEC)
Any site that supports the view that the earth and universe is less than around 10,000 years old, and that special acts were required for all or most of the species on earth.

I am uncertain which section this link should be in, but it argues for the need for supernaturalism without arguing for a young earth.

This site provides mainstream scientific answers to issues in the Talk.Origins Newsgroup, but it also provides many articles of interest to those not participating in the newsgroup. Its Links section is quite extensive and covers sites from a variety of views, nicely group according to those views. This is a must visit if you are involved in creation/evolution debates.

The Blind Watchmaker
One of the best explicitly atheistic explanations of evolution available. Read my review at Review of The Blind Watchmaker

The Fourth Day : What the Bible and the Heavens Are Telling Us About Creation
This is a fine work with a high view of scripture, yet the author accepts that evolution has occurred. I have sometimes classified Van Till as an old earth creationist.

The Genesis Question : Scientific Advances and the Accuracy of Genesis
This book by Dr. Hugh Ross takes the view that Genesis is accurate and scientific, but that it does not intend to describe a literal, 7 day creation week. It is not primarily designed to support that view, however, but rather to argue against a non-theistic view of origins.

What is Creation Science?
My review of What is Creation Science?

The FACE that Demonstrates the Farce of Evolution
I have not completed my review reading of this book yet (and it's not on my front burner), but I read the chapter on punctuated equilibrium, and I do not believe the author has digested any serious literature on the topic. He appears to be responding to a strawman, and failing miserably.
