Thing is OP when the crazies start another thread attempting to disprove evolution we can just give them this link.
No more repeating ourselves .
Exactly - that was the idea. Saves everyone a lot of time and trouble - just find the topic in the library, cut and paste, then discuss!
I will also go back through older posts when I have time which I and others have made and pick up links to topics.

I have drunk too much tonight to add anything of use, so this post is a bookmark for me to provide such information as you stated in the OP.
I like your courage, in this environment.

Thanks - look forward to your contribution. In the meantime, drink 16 oz of water and eat a chocolate chip cookie. That will fix it!

I just wanted to add a video on this animal who has adapted the ability to photosynthesis , over long periods of time it would seem likely given how
animals evolve that the sea slug would eventually have the ability to produce its own cholorplasts and become both plant and animal a hybrid of
species
Wouldnt it be good if humans could photosynthesis when there is no food available !

Evolution doesn't answer such and such question about the universe and the origin of life -
No scientific theory answers 100% of the questions in science. Sorry I don't have a link for this one, but it is just so absurd that it doesn't really need one. If you find a theory or idea that claims to answer every question imaginable (religion) then it is HIGHLY suspect. The idea of science is that it works to answer a question, but then when that question is answered many new questions appear that the scientists then work to answer. It is an infinite process, but it certainly doesn't discredit the information gained and answers to questions that it does answer.

Any number of hoaxes about evolution (ex: piltdown man) -
Ok, unfortunately this one won't have any links either because it is rather obvious. Thanks to the peer review process once a hoax is identified, it is removed from the scientific knowledge base and is no longer regarded as evidence for anything. HOWEVER, because a hoax exists is NOT proof that the prevailing theory that is for is also untrue. In order for that to be the case, ALL the evidence for that theory would have to be exposed as fradulent, and this is simply not the case for evolution. In fact new evidence surfaces all the time that proves evolution is true, while literally zero evidence surfaces that completely contradicts it.
Every now and then there is some evidence that shows that evolution doesn't work EXACTLY how we originally thought, but in this case we just modify the theory to account for the new information. An example of this would be the punctuated equilibrium idea that I posted in the last point. Originally evolution was thought to happen at the same rate across the species, but evidence kept surfacing that contradicted this account. So now, the theory was updated to include this and show that not all species evolve at the same rate. What DIDN'T happen however is that evolution was completely discredited by this new evidence.

A crash course in evolutionary development, dives into what developmental regulatory genes control and give instructions to change body parts.
“This is one of the clearest examples of how indirect the morphological consequences of genetic change are mediated”.

I don't know if this is entirely accurate, but here it is..
Videos like this are the reason so many people have a highly in accurate view of evolution - and science for that matter. The teachers don't teach. They're lazy. They don't want to do the hard work. Accreditation for teachers is a disaster in math and science. Stuff like this shouldn't be allowed in schools even as a poor example. Lawrence Krause was right when he said that teaching poor science and Creationism should be considered child abuse.
