Default Evolution-Facts

Is there a website that debunks Evolution-Facts?

I guess I'm talking about a site like "No answers in Genesis" and "talkorigins" (although IIRC TO was around before the dubious "true Origins").

I did a google search, but I couldn't find any. I do realize that the information on Evolution-Facts is purely B.S.

I'm looking around this website, and I have to smile at such mind blowing evidence such as:

Quote:
Someone will ask, “But what are the evidences that Creationism is true?” There are two.

First, the only alternative is clearly disproved by a massive amount of findings.

Second,—and if possible—even more solid, we have the very existence of everything about us! Whether it be the whirling of electrons in the atom, the orbit of our world which mysteriously does not decay and crash us into the sun, or the existence of a living creature.
Such solid, irrefutable evidence. How can you atheists deny it?



(let's face it, the only people who accept evolution are, in fact atheists. I mean, I don't count BTW-I'm a *compromised* cafeteria Christian, which makes me the equiviliant to the Devil's sidekick).

As funny as the other pages are, this one gets me a little pissed.

It includes the typical out-of-context quotes.

Take this completely idiotic "evidence":

Quote:
There are so many ways to disprove it.

"I can envision observations and experiments that would disprove any evolutionary theory I know."—*Stephen Jay Gould, "Evolution as Fact and Theory," Discover 2(5):34-37 (1981).
It's called falsification you fucktard! If you couldn't envision ways to disprove it, then it would have no validity!

In light of this rather heinous website, I do have a question:

How can these websites stay up? Isn't there some legal to get websites filled with lies taken down? Probably not though, first amendment and all. It just seems as though these people are exploiting a loophole by pulling quotes out of context.

Why take them down? They stand as a shining example of the intellectual emptiness, the moral vacuity and the desperation of the Creationists.

Very true, but they also mislead the young and impressionable (on another MB a creationist is actually using this material as a cite).

Plus, isn't ignorance spreadable?

I mean, I feel as though I lost a few IQ points by just looking at it. Imagine the untold damage to millions of people who happen upon the site by accident.

I sware, the sight maks me feel more dumer evry time I vew it.

It is all one big scientific mistake.


"The theory [of evolution] is a scientific mistake."—*Louis Agassiz, quoted in H. Epoch, Evolution or Creation (1986), p. 139 [Agassiz was a Harvard University professor].
Note specifically how he makes it appear that Louis Agassiz wrote this in 1986 instead of 1886. What a retard is right. Another example of the lying for Jesus crowd.

Christians love to claim the moral high ground and then put up such blatant lies as this one.
