[QUOTE="Wiccan_Child, post: 60745219, member: 104966"] You could say the same about heliocentrism and Round Earthism for much the same reason. Actually, this is the staple of scientific publications (reputable journals, at least). Even Darwin listed potential objections in his book. I don't think such an author exists. But, I don't see the issue with reading a book on evolution by an evolutionist, or a book on creationism by a creationist. At the end of the day, you should evaluate the evidence presented for both claims. Read Dawkin's book on the evidence for evolution - he's staunchly pro-evolution, sure, but the book is written to present the evidence. There's nothing wrong with a Creationist citing evidence for creationism, or an evolutionist citing evidence for evolution, so long as you can critique it with your own mind. To paraphrase Gautama Buddha, trust nothing, demand sources for everything. That is why I'm a firm believer in evolution, FYI :P The evidence for is overwhelming, and the evidence against is virtually non-existence. Contrast that with Creationism, where the opposite is true.
