Reference: An Index to Creationist Claims
Sun, Jun 29, 2008 at 2:16:15 pm PDT
Here’s another excellent resource for people trying to make sense of the conflicting claims and counter-claims of the anti-evolutionists: An Index to Creationist Claims.
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. It is updated frequently; see the What’s New page for the latest changes.
Since most creationism is folklore, the claims are organized in an outline format following that of Stith Thompson’s Motif-Index of Folk-Literature. Sections CA through CG deal with claims against conventional science, and sections CH through CJ contain claims about creationism itself.
This collection is intended primarily as a guidepost and introduction. The explanations are not in depth (with a few exceptions), but most responses include links, references, and sources for more information. These are not just added for show. Readers are strongly encouraged to pursue additional reliable sources. We hope that readers will put in the effort to gain enough understanding of the subject so that they will not just parrot the information here, but will be able to explain it to others.
Many of the arguments we’ve seen raised in recent LGF discussions related to paleontology, geology, biology, etc., are covered (and thoroughly debunked) in this useful index.
