I have put this in General Questions because I’m not at all interested in a debate or people’s opinions of whether there is such a thing as a good creationist resource. The evolution vs creationism debate is one that I’ve decided to approach with a totally open mind, and therefore I’d like to read the best of both sides so that I can not only make up my mind, but be able to convincingly argue whatever I decide. I’ve come across numerous excellent websites supporting evolution, but they are all completely dismissive of the creationist viewpoint. I would be very grateful if anybody who is either also open minded, or a believer in creationist science, could provide what they believe to be the best researched and written websites or books that argue the case against evolution. To put my question in perspective, I am a religious person, but one who doesn’t like to accept that something is true “just because it is” or because “the other side is clearly full of baloney (although I don’t have any evidence of that)”. Thanks a lot in advance. ---

You might try [Answers in Genesis](http://www.answersingenesis.org/intro.asp). They’ve recently published a rebuttal to Scientific American’s rather lame critique of Creationism. ---

I am suprised you had any difficultly. My guess is that there are more creation sites than evoloution sites ---

What constitutes a good resource is necessarily a matter of opinion, so I’ll move this to IMHO. ---

I shake my head at the links Libertarian and Robert Richards provided, I admittedly didn’t read them all–but put me down as an “athesist” who dosen’t buy the science they cite (the links I read are not the exemplars of impersonal science research they claim to disparage, but quote examples that further their “hypothesis”. I found the justification of their lack of publication in REAL scientific journal lacking. I ask: is the lack of Creationist literatue due to what I consider (and more guys than me) a lack of evidence? The problem with the internet is that anybody can post a Webpage–are you getting your info from some 6th graders website? ---

A good site which, to my mind, presents a fair assessment of a variety of topics (mostly fairly comprehensive book reviews), both creationist (with multiple flavors thereof) and evolutionist, is [Was Darwin Wrong?](http://home.planet.nl/~gkorthof/index.htm) ---

I don’t have any particular web sites to recommend, but you might want to include “intelligent design” in your keyword search. It might bring up some more intesting and intelligent debates. Not one’s I agree with but more intelligent : ) . ---

The best list of creationist web sites is, tellingly enough, on talk.origins… [http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/other-links-cre.html](http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/other-links-cre.html) I lost count around 150… I find it amusing that evolutionists have no problem linking creationist sites, but a creationist sites that link evolution sites are extremely rare… ---
