A few words to the creationists:

You can't meaningfully participate in the science threads unless you can show that you've bought a ticket. The ticket is some basic understanding of what's going on here; and the price you have to pay for it is the effort needed to bring yourself up to speed. No ticket, no credibility.

The Theory of Evolution. (Excellent introductory encyclopedia article.)
The scientific method. You must know what science is (hint: it's not a cult).
What's a Scientific Theory? Encyclopedia article. Yes, evolution is a theory. That's a good thing.
Evolution as Fact and Theory by Stephen Jay Gould. Very useful article.
The List-O-Links. Direct link to the right part of my homepage.

Thanks for the ping!

It's interesting -- to me anyway -- to compare the evolution of the ping list logo. Post #12 has the ping I made in this thread almost exactly one year ago, which is reproduced here:

We then had somewhat over 240 names, which I thought was a lot. The latest (erroneously posted) version of the logo is at post #41, but reproduced here:

Evolution Ping The List-O-Links

A conservative, pro-evolution science list, now with over 350 names. See the list's explanation, then FReepmail to be added or dropped. To assist beginners: But it's "just a theory", Evo-Troll's Toolkit, and How to argue against a scientific theory.

We now have over 350 names, so we've gained 110 in a year. Verily, evolution is on its last legs.

Unfortunately, the new species had the root of a cabbage and the leaf of a radish, and therefore had no commercial value.

Why is this such a big deal? It isn't 'macro'evolution. The new plant is still part of the salad "kind".
