As I have pointed out repeatedly, the Christadelphian seeking reliable, authoritative, credible information on evolution and the age of the Earth must look outside our community (apart from websites such as this and others) given the depth to which YEC has compromised our community. There is no such thing as too much information, so I am delighted to provide a link to computational mathematician David Bailey's 26 point list "Evolution, Creationism, and Intelligent Design." His list covers subjects from scientific epistemology to geology to biology, is impeccably referenced, and in contrast to the belligerent, intolerant nature of most YEC websites maintains an irenic tone. Definitely another to add to the list of must-read resources for the intellectually honest Christadelphian seeking the truth on evolution and creation.
Bailey's 26 points are listed below, with the full articles at the links:
- How old is the earth? How old are the geologic ages? How are these dates determined? Ages
- Does the notion of irreducible complexity pose significant challenges to evolution? Complexity
- What has been the outcome of court cases testing creationism and intelligent design? Court cases
- Have creationist writers uncovered significant technical issues for geology and evolution? Creationism
- What is the evidence for or against the notion that species (including humans) have been individually designed? Design
- What do modern DNA studies tell us about evolution? DNA
- Can an evolutionary program generate English text? English text
- Are there analogues of biological evolution in other fields? Evolution-analogues
- Does evolution exhibit progress or purpose? Evolution-progress
- Is evolution falsifiable? Falsifiable
- Do gaps in the fossil record present serious difficulties for the theory of evolution? Fossils
- Does information theory refute evolution? Information theory
