| On the main page and at the message board, we seem to often discuss topics which pertain to religion and science. Because of this, I will list some sites on both sides of some of the issues we have talked about. Other links will follow farther down the page. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Creation/Evolution Debate: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Talk Origins - In my humble opinion, the best site on the internet. This site presents a very scholarly treatment of the relevant issues. I have included some of the specific article links here too, to pique your interest. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What is Evolution? - Too often, I find that people who argue against evolution don't even know what it is. This is a short overview. Go here for a much more in-depth article. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Evolution is a Fact and a Theory - This is one of my favorite articles. I often hear the phrase, "Evolution is just a theory." This should help clear that up. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Age of the Earth - Do scientists really know the age of the earth, or is this just something they have "faith" in? Find out here. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Creationism - Many Christians don't realize how many brands of creationism there are. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Christian Answers - This site attempts to provide scientific and other proof for the Bible. Judge for yourself. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Institute for Creation Research - This is the only other big site I know of which tries to validate the Bible scientifically. I list these in an attempt to be fair to both sides. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Other Sites of Interest: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Biblical Errancy - I have often heard people say, "If the Bible isn't true, prove it!" In actuality, the burden of proof rests on the one who asserts that something is, so it is no one's job to "disprove the Bible." It is actually biblicists' job to prove it. Nevertheless, this guy has met Bible-believing Christians on their own turf and attempted to prove the Bible false. I think he's pretty thorough. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Why I Am Not a Christian - This is one of my favorite short essays explaining some of the relevant flaws with the Christian worldview. It's concice, clear, and you can probably get some credit for your philosophy class for reading it. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Logical Fallacies - Whether arguing a point with someone else or deciding what you personally are going to believe, it is crucial to understand what makes something a logical fallacy. Go here to find out if you've been tricked into believing something by some of these fallacies. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Chick Tracts - This site simply has to be seen. No words can explain it. Be sure to click on "See titles available" and look a few of these "witnessing tools." Bear in mind, I am not accusing any Christians on my message board of using such methods. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Christian Spotlight on the Movies - Another site that defies description. Suffice it to say, each movie gets a "moral rating." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Skeptic's Annotated Bible - Perhaps of interest. This site color-codes Bible verses to indicate things like "sex," "contradictions," "cruelty and violence," etc. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Secular Web - An interesting site which calls itself "a drop of reason in a pool of confusion." | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Creation Myths - Every culture has (and had) its own way of imagining how the universe came about, and I'm sure every culture probably felt that theirs was right. Thankfully, we now have science to help us sift through these great mysteries, rather than trying to decide among these hundreds of equally valid yet often mutually exclusive myths. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Onion - This is unrelated to religion, but I think this is one of the funniest web sites on the net. The humor is sometimes a bit on the edge, so consider yourself warned. It's in a newspaper format, updated weekly. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Links to Sites of Folks on My Board: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Karl's Web Site - This is a site created by Karl, from my message board. It is a Christian site, and I recommend you visit it. He has done a nice job with it. It contains several links to interesting sites. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wade's Web Site - This is a web site created by Wade, another participant on the message board. He is very sharp, and has a lot of very interesting ideas. This site is also Christian, though probably more conservatively minded than Karl's. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
