Rebuttals Against Evolution
If you believe that the theory of macroevolution is true, prepare to be challenged. No, you won't find the usual creationist rhetoric about the second law of thermodynamics, Nebraska Man, or the creationism charges of mistakes made by evolutionists 60 years ago. What you will find is the best of creationary science - real, peer-reviewed scientific literature of studies done by evolutionists! Start here and work your way down the page.

Evolutionary Biology Problems
- Recent Problems in Evolution - expose of evolution's failings (from 1990 onward)
- The Evolution (NOT!) Times - news not found in your local newspaper or evolution textbook.
- Intentional Deception by Evolutionists - Oops! Evolutionists caught using the "techniques of creationists"!
- Demise of the "Birds are Dinosaurs" Theory - two clever studies by well-known avian evolutionists. - "The opponents of the theropod hypothesis refuse to propose an alternative hypothesis that is falsifiable. This is probably because there are no other suitable candidates for avian ancestors".
- Tetrapod Tracks Overturn Reigning Evolutionary Theory on Fish-Tetrapod Transition - Fossilized tracks of large, advanced four legged animals are found from 395 million years ago - at least 10-30 million years before the existence of their transitional or intermediate "ancestors."
- Sexual Reproduction: A Continuing Mystery to Evolutionists - Sexual reproduction and recombination acts to dilute Permanent structural alterations in DNA, consisting of either substitutions, insertions or deletions of nucleotide bases.mutations - minimizing the effects of harmful Permanent structural alterations in DNA, consisting of either substitutions, insertions or deletions of nucleotide bases.mutations to preserve fitness, but also concealing beneficial Permanent structural alterations in DNA, consisting of either substitutions, insertions or deletions of nucleotide bases.mutations, which prevents these Permanent structural alterations in DNA, consisting of either substitutions, insertions or deletions of nucleotide bases.mutations from being acted on by natural selection.
- Second Thoughts about Peppered Moths - This classical story of evolution by natural selection needs revising, by Jonathan Wells, Ph.D. (off site)
Evolution and the Bible/Morality
- Naturalistic Biological Change and the Bible - Does the Bible preclude any form of evolution? The answer may surprise you!
- Inherit the Wind- The Truth About the "Real Brady" (William Jennings Bryan) of the Scopes 'Monkey Trial' This fictionalized depiction of the Scopes trial distorts the original characters, vilifying the Christians and elevating the evolutionists. If such a book were written intentionally distorting any other religious or ethnic minority (blacks, Jews, Moslems, etc.) it would be banned from public schools - much less actually used in classrooms.
- Implications of Evolution in Morality, Culture, and Society - Evolution has profound implications in the areas of human worth, purpose, and morality.
- Are Atheists and Theists Morally Equivalent? - What moral values do atheists consider to be "very important?"
- Atheism Doesn't Lead to Immoral Behavior or Poor Ethics - Or Does It? In theory doesn't necessarily lead to immoral behavior, but in practice...
- Scientists are Completely Unbiased? They would never put paradigm over data, would they?
- Parasite Ecology and the Evolution of Religion - A paper by Ben Cullen, which argues against Richard Dawkins' "religion as a disease" position, on the grounds that Dawkins has not manipulated neo-Darwinian logic consistently. Cullen argues that Dawkins has erected a highly personal view of religion, which is in complete conflict with both his own selfish gene theories (Dawkins, 1989), and a growing body of parasite research.

The Edge of Evolution: The Search for the Limits of Darwinism
by Michael Behe
Darwin's Black Box author Michael Behe takes on the limits of evolution through an examination of specific genetic examples. Behe finds that mutation and natural selection is capable of generating trivial examples of evolutionary change. Although he concludes that descent with modification has occurred throughout biological history, the molecular devices found throughout nature cannot be accounted for through natural selection and mutation. Behe's book claims to develop a framework for testing intelligent design by defining the principles by which Darwinian evolution can be distinguished from design.
Icons
of Evolution
by Jonathan Wells
In this book, biologist Jonathan Wells examines recent college and high school textbooks (from 1998-2000), and shows how they distort the truth about biology, often presenting information that has been falsified by recent scientific studies. Icons refuted include the origin of life (the famous Miller experiment), embryo drawings that were faked, the famous Pepper Moth example of natural selection, which used staged/fake photographs, showing moths on tree trunks, genetically engineered fruit flies, the beak of the finch, archaeopteryx, and much more.
Dawkins' God: Genes, Memes, And The Meaning Of Life
by Alister McGrath. According to Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome
Project:
"Wielding evolutionary arguments and carefully chosen metaphors like sharp
swords, Richard Dawkins has emerged over three decades as this generation's most
aggressive promoter of atheism. In his view, science, and science alone,
provides the only rock worth standing on. In this remarkable book, Alister
McGrath challenges Dawkins on the very ground he holds most sacred -- rational
argument -- and McGrath disarms the master. It becomes readily apparent that
Dawkins has aimed his attack at a naive version of faith that most serious
believers would not recognize. After reading this carefully constructed and
eloquently written book, Dawkins’ choice of atheism emerges as the most
irrational of the available choices about God's existence."
Evolution:
A Theory in Crisis
by Michael Denton
A general discussion of some of the problems associated with macroevolution. It is somewhat outdated, but a good introduction to the overall scope.
Mere
Creation: Science, Faith & Intelligent Design
, William A.
Dembski, editor InterVarsity Press (1998), 448 pp.
Nineteen experts trained in mathematics, mechanical engineering,
philosophy, astrophysics, ecology, evolutionary biology, and other
disciplines challenge the reigning ideology of materialistic
naturalism on both scientific and philosophical grounds, as they
press their case for a radical thinking of established evolutionary
assumptions
How Blind Is the Watchmaker?:
Nature's Design & the Limits of Naturalistic Science
by Neil Broom, William
A. Dembski. This book examines the naturalistic origin of life, along with the intricate complexity of
design in biology, and exposes the weaknesses of the naturalistic
Neo-Darwinian paradigm.
