The website "Answers in genesis" is a pro fundamentalist christian website and a heavy proponent of creationism. The authors of AIG have compiled a list of commonly used creationist arguments that they reccoment NOT TO USE ANYMORE because they have been discounted or are dubious. Yet, here and in other creationism vs evolution debates these same debunked notions keep popping up. Here especially, for some reason, they are used with alarming frequency
I have compiled a partial list of the arguments that HAVE BEEN DISMISSED BY CREATIONISTS. They are all ones that I have seen used here.
In order to maintain your credibility in this debate forum creationist should stop using the following (as per the advise of other creationists):
Darwin recanting on deathbed
Moondust
Human remains found in "old" strata
:o That the second law of thermodyamics makes evolution impossible
Archaeopteryx as a fraud
"no benificial mutations" argument
the "no new species have been observed argument"
Paluxy tracks (man and dino prints)
Darwin's quote about the evolution of the eye
Sudden and catastrophic continental drift
Genealogies from genesis
That Ron Wyatt found Noah's Ark and proof of the bible
The "canopy theory"
No rain before the flood argument
the "evolution is just a theory" pap
speed of light changing over time
lack of transitional forms in the fossil record
plate tectonics not being real
"mircoevolution is true but macroevolution is not"
Plate tectonics and speciation have been observed directly. The laws of physics have not changed appreciably in 14 billion years (radioactive decay and speed of light), geodes containing 1922 champion sparkplugs and "human footprints along with dinosuars" have been demonstrated to be hoaxes, natural formations or other phenomenon.
Here is the website for a complete description of why not to use these - and other - pathetic attempts to dismiss years of scientific research in various fields by thousands of workers (religious, agnostic and athiest together) that have benefited mankind and expanded our knowlege and wonder of the universe which we inhabit.
Thank you.
