Creationism :: 12 Arguments Creationists Don't Understand - June 2010
I have tried to shed some light on some of the misconceptions creationists have about science and scientists. Most of these arguments are just misrepresentations of some of the commonly used arguments against creationism.

The TalkOrigins Archive is a collection of articles and essays. The primary reason for this archive's
existence is to provide mainstream scientific responses to the many frequently asked questions and the
frequently rebutted assertions of those advocating intelligent design or other creationist
pseudosciences.
It is a weblog giving another voice for the defenders of the integrity of science, the patrons of "The
Panda's Thumb". You can expect to hear a variety of levels of discussion, ranging from the picayune to
the pedantic. The authors are people associated with the virtual University of Ediacara (and thus the
talk.origins newsgroup), and various web sites critical of the antievolution movement.
The mission of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science is to support scientific
education, critical thinking and evidence-based understanding of the natural world in the quest to
overcome religious fundamentalism, superstition, intolerance and human suffering.
The purpose of RationalWiki is to analyzing and refute pseudo-science and the anti-science movement,
document the full range of crank ideas and explore authoritarianism and fundamentalism.
TalkReason provides a forum for the publication of papers with well-thought out arguments against
creationism, intelligent design, and religious apologetics.
