summary: Creationists claim that since sciences such as archaeology and forensics can detect design, it is a valid scientific practice to detect intelligent design in nature, and that the success of those sciences shows that the methods of intelligent design work in practice.¹ However, after i watched Professor Dave's latest video debunking Ben van Kerkywk İ felt that this argument was fallacious. In the video, Ben van Kerkwyk claims that the pots found in Egypt where too advanced to have been made by the Ancient Egyptians…

summary: ## _What we say, what they hear_ I've recently come to realize that certain rational rebuttals that we often use fall on deaf ears due to the methods used by YECs in priming the in-group identity. The group identity policing makes use of assigning concepts definitions that ensure high noise-to-signal ratio in any debate. Likewise it makes sense now why TalkOrigin's entries (https://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/) may not work for the hardcore YECs. So here are three rebuttals I've used in the past, what the YECs hea…

summary: 25 years ago, when I was steeped in the futility of debating creationists, I came upon the Talk.Origins Archive which is a collection of content that was originally posted to the Usenet group prior to the World Wide Web (Millennials: Ask me about Gopher and PINE mail!). For those of you who have never read it, it's worth a stroll. But my favorite post of all time has to be the [June 2002 Post of the Month](https://www.talkorigins.org/origins/postmonth/jun02.html) by user rossum. This post lists many of the things…

Did it move or is there an equivalent site that archives all the common theist talking points with references to answer them? I've found a few crude archives, but nothing useful enough. Thanks!

summary: Having participated in C/E debates for going on 3 decades now, I'm still astounded to see the same creationists arguments being recycled year-after-year.

summary: So we all know that talk origins made an index to creationist claims which addressed all of their statements. However, creationwiki responded (rather poorly based on the ones I have seen). Who’s thinking of making a counter rebuttal? If one is made, then we can post it on this Reddit or save it for a future blog/web writing. Any thoughts? Edit: Who doesn’t have to mean one person. You can post your rebuttal to some claims in this discussion.

The fact that many of these arguments are paradoxical (Covid is a bioweapon *and* the vaccine is a bioweapon?) doesn't matter. Talk Origins was a usenet group which basically created a numerical index of creationist claims to help deal with the bullshit.

I've used their links in plenty of my posts and their Index to Creationist Claims rebuttals to talk.origins is extremely helpful. Hopefully this'll be fixed soon if there's a problem. Someone should definitely create a safer place for their Index in case something happens with their site again if they can get it back up.

summary: Are people still operating the Talk Origins Archive and making sure that the science on the website is accurate and up to date? I have learned a lot from that website as it is a good reference site, but I know a lot of these pages seem to be from the 1990s and early to mid-2000s at best. Are there other sites addressing creationist claims that are more recent? I have looked at the ThoughtCo pages on evolution, as well as Stated Clearly animations, for example, but I don't know if there are others.
