It has hundreds of members, and the majority devote their time to examining Creationist claims.

If you have a question which people here are having difficulty answering, you could try asking it there.

The group was made by Lenny Flank (has a really neat Evolution vs. Creationism page).

Does this board have a list of good evolution/creation links? If so, this one should probably be added.
The links section at the following website should suffice:

Very amusing. It doesn't take long to make an error, there are two in the opening sentence:
Quote:
Science Against Evolution is a California Public Benefit Corporation whose objective is to make the general public aware that the theory of evolution is not consistent with physical evidence and is no longer a respectable theory describing the origin of life.
Of course the theory of evolution is consistent with the physical evidence (as scientists realized 150 years ago, and it has been confirmed again and again sisnce then), and what should be more obvious to creationists: the theory of evolution does not describe "the origin of life." When will these creationists get a clue?

The closest thing to a "links section" at this Science Against Evolution that I could find is Web Site of the Month. The really amusing thing is that all of these "Web Site(s) of the Month" are just different pages in the Science Against Evolution web site. Even other creationist web sites do not seem to be linked to. Note that Talk.Origins provides links to other web sites, and is not afraid to link to creationist web sites. Funny that creationists seem afraid to link to good science sites like Talk.Origins.

This site looks much like a parody (accidental or deliberate) - look at these gems:

Quote:
There are only two documented cases of inanimate objects coming to life.

* Pinocchio
* Frosty the Snowman

Most scientists consider these two reports to be false.
Quote:
breasts had to have evolved from nothing
Quote:
Radioactive measurements of rocks are based on assumptions that were chosen to make the radioactive measurements agree with the presumed ages of the fossils.
And they use the "Decay of the Earth's magnetic field" "argument" against an Old Earth...

From another site:
Quote:
according to some paleontologists, birds are dinosaurs.
"some"?

Actually, they do provide a link. November 1998.
Funny that you didn't bother to look.
Also, they're not creationists - they just don't believe in evolution.

So the irony was not completely lost.

Such excitement - just imagine if you'd grasped what they're about aswell.
THEY - ARE - NOT - CREATIONISTS
