Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
Since it appears that Mechanical Bliss is no longer participating I thought I’d take up the torch so to speak. If you have any posts that you think should be included in the archive please PM me.

Criteria: Inclusion of threads is based upon the originality, insightfulness, and construction of the OP and/or an OP that asks a question or makes an argument that is replied to with good answers and refutations from multiple participants.
Origin: The archive originally started based upon making my own bookmarked threads public, personally scouring the entire forum from the beginning, and hoping that others would find this information useful and be willing to contribute so that everyone finds it useful.
Alterations: Now you're probably saying, who is this guy to choose which threads belong in this collection and which ones don't? Since this thread is supposed to serve the C&E community of regular posters, it's really up to all of you. If there are any threads that were excluded, wrongfully included, wrongfully categorized, errors, or improvements, let me know.

Its so so brilliant. What we have is a Creationist strawman at the start, and then it turns into a massive debate (argument) about Taxonomy. Its the best inadvertant refutation of the OP post Ive ever seen, even if you didnt happen to agree with Aron. So much information here, it really does deserve to be put in the archive.
