Question I need information...

I need good links on the following subjects. Can anyone please point out some to me:

1. Evolution.
2. Theories on the beginning of the universe.
3. Disproof to the "Great Flood" or Proofs if there are any.
4. Disproof to the "Creation" account on Genesis or Proofs if there are any.

thanks

These topics, particularly the first one, are more appropriate to Evolution/Creation than to Biblical Criticism & History.

best,
Peter Kirby

Thy seeks Talk Origins.

For further reading, (and this being the IIDB) check out Internet Infidels Library.

Specific information regarding evolution can be found on both sites. Number 2, the origins of the universe, is not really evolution, but a collection of related documents can be found in the II Library.

yes, you want talkorigins.

for example: "3. Disproof to the "Great Flood" or Proofs if there are any."

no one with a properly functioning brain could believe the flood story after reading this talk origins article.

If you're dealing with a bunch of creationists who are inclined to dismiss TalkOrigins as an atheistic site full of satanic lies, try thesse sites which are written by Christians (albeit of the variety that probably don't count as Christian in the opinion of creationists):

I am dealing with a fundie who dismisses any scientist who has done works that disprove the bible as a God-hater. As if you need to go that deep into science to see that the bible is full of BS.:banghead:

So I'm really wondering if there are Scientists who has done works such as that but are solid Christians.

Define solid. Biblical literalist? Not one. Ordinary healthy and mentally stable run-of-the-mill non-fundamentalist christian? Loads.
