So, You Think You Know Evolution?

I help run a general atheist forum which has recently been increasing in activity. The topic of Evolution comes up now and then, and the creationists always bring up all the misconceptions again and again. Sometimes you wish you had an hour or so to write an massively long response to them, citing all their mistakes, providing lots of evidence, and backing it all up with research. This rarely happens since it takes far too much effort for simple online forums, and often people are left simply pointing out simple mistakes and telling the creationists to “go do some proper research”.

When it does happen however, it completely blows everyone away.

The member, solidsquid, a self proclaimed “Dioist“, wrote an epic post complete with images, research, links, and references. It must have taken ages to put together, and I applaud him for his efforts. The question is, will any creationists actually read it?

Perhaps the author should put together FAQ for Creationists!

Better yet, wouldn’t it be cool to have a wiki-server hosting such a FAQ.

There is a great short answer to the Creationists’ “10 questions” by Miller and Levine:

Could stand in for a FAQ

Talkorigins.org is an excellent site for learning about evolution. A large part of what I know about the subject came from this site.
