First post...
I see a lot of nonsense posted on the internet about evolution and creationism/ID, and this blog is me having my say. My aim is to post on a weekly basis, and to keep this page as an index with links to each post.
To make my own position clear, I believe in evolution, and most of the posts here will be about debunking the claims of creationism. I am also an atheist (I accept there may be a God, but I find that pretty unlikely), and some posts are going to be about some of the claims of Christianity, which is, afterall, closely linked to the creationism debate.
Racism
Slavery
Eugenics
Links to Hitler
The Noachian Flood - Mechanics
The Noachian Flood - Life on the Ark

It sounds interesting from the Amazon reviews. How much does it acknowledge the contribution of Islamic scholars to Middle Ages science?
ReplyDeleteI ask because this would be a good gauge of whether it is a historic book, trying to accurately portray science at that time, or an apologetics book, trying to promote Christianity.
