Default Useful Talk Origins link

Kent Hovind systematically debunked. I don't know how they ordered it, but it is invariably the order the YECs throw Hovind at me...

How Good are the YEC arguments?

You might as give the start page for "How Good are Those Young Earth Arguments."

And the Archive has an Index Page for Hovind documents in the Archive plus a few representive outside links.

Sweet!

Will the gold mine that is Talk Origins never run dry?

I hope not!

Actually, I hope that oneday it will no longer be neccessary, and will simply stagnate because no-one needs it anymore. (Future talkorigins disclaimer: No, this site is not a joke. There really was a time when people made the arguments that this site refutes.) I'm talking, of course, about the end of all antiscience fundamentalism. A man can dream can't he?

Sadly, I expect that even if creationism goes into decline in the US (ID may -- repeat may -- be a sign of this), it will just take off again in other countries undergoing modernization/secularization. E.g. Turkey. Does anyone know of *any* Turkish (or Islamic in general) response to Harun Yahya? I imagine there've got to be some Turkish scientists who are positively steamed about Yahya...

I believe that there was a Turkish Government response which involved rounding them up for child pornography or something like like. I recall reading a post about it on T.O. (I think) from a Turkish poster.

Well, I don't mind having TO up and running even after Creationism has been abandoned (which is probably a forlorn hope). Aside from debunking creationists, TO is also a good guide for understanding Evolution.

Yes there is one in both Turkish and English:

http://www.geocities.com/evrimkurami/

Remember that any reference to BAV is to Harun Yahya's
organization.

The above link can be found in the T.O. "Other Links" section.
