General Resources

 General Resources - Answering Creationist Objections and Resolving Creationist Problems

2022

The General Resources hub is planned to host general answers to creationism, along with information that demonstrates how we know that the general theory of evolution is true. Note that many creationist models simply lump all science that does not conform with their models under the title "evolution": i.e., the YEC models I was raised in taught me that the Big Bang and a universe that was "billions of years old" was all part of evolution. In reality, "evolution" simply refers to how species change over time. For individual issues in science that are painted as "evolutionary" by creationist sources, please see the field's heading in the Main Menu / Directory.
