A HUGE resource of Creationist arguments

[Vance]

After serious deliberation, I have decided to let the Creationists in on the secret vault of all the Creationists arguments. It has all the best arguments the Creationists could ever use to fight evolution, a comprehensive collection from the leading Creationist sites and distilled from all the best Creationist books, and all in one place, neatly organized by subject.

Even better, after each Creationist point there is a summary of what an evolutionist will likely respond so the Creationist will know what to expect and can cut the evolutionist off at the pass by providing a counter to that argument before they even get a chance to make it!

Here it is:

Now, you may ask why I would be giving this list of ammunition to use against evolution since I actually believe in evolution. Good question. It is purely because it will prompt more interesting discussion that we have seen so far, and allow the Creationist a chance to hear how we might respond and prepare accordingly, allowing us all to "cut to the chase" much easier.

I hear a lot of Creationists still ask the "how come there are still monkeys" type questions, or raise "living fossil" issues, or misunderstand transitionals, etc, rather than bring up some more legitimate challenges.

Thank you Vance
There is much I have questions about without the motivation of discovering "ammunition". Nor am I 100% pleased with the answers I may get that convict me of my rebellious and sinful nature.

Your gift of generousity and goodwill is much appreciated. Whether or not other creationists know of that link isn't important in light of the motivation on your part to post it.

Now you have to at least admit it is interesting

What's that? The contents of the link or Vance's motivation to share it?
I can always find links but some kinds of motivation aren't quite so easy to come by.

I just meant the page itself.

Actually, my motivation is a bit selfish as well as wanting Creationists to have access to such a strong list for their own position. Over the last year I have grown tired of hearing the same Creationist arguments presented solely because the posters are not aware that there is a ready answer for the question (whether they like that answer or not). I have even considered keeping copies of my answers to these questions/arguments just so I could cut and paste them in rather than having to retype so much.

So, if Creationists could look up the question on the list BEFORE posting, then check out the response given on that page, they could jump straight to their refutation of that response is going to be, thus "cutting to the chase" much more quickly.

Then the post could go something like this: "I think that X is true. Now, I know that evolutionists will respond Y, but I have looked into that and it does not convince me because . . ." etc, etc.

Also, with some of the less substantive positions, it might even make the Creationist say "ah, I see, well nevermind about that point, on to another one." This is all good.
