JCSM has purchased a new domain name called http://yecs.org. We are going
to compile the largest internet archive of young earth creation science
(YECS) links like articles, MP3s, videos, debates, etc. We need several
people to help us with this large project. If you would like to help,
please email us at ne...@jcsm.org.

Sincerely,

Why do you want the largest, rather than, say, the best? Have you so
entirely surrendered the hope of finding *good* arguments, and actual
science, in support of young-earth creationism, that you have abandoned the
quest for quality and now seek mere quantity? Or are you unable to discern
the difference (not that, as far as YECism goes, there is much to discern)?
In any case, you might want to check
http://www.talkorigins.org/origins/other-links.html#creationism; including
the much longer unabridged list, it may be the current largest set of YEC
links (so you know what you're competing with, at least).

If you limit yourself to creation "science", the problem won't be nearly
so large as you imagine.

Of course, I fully expect that you will link to some sites that
support the opposing arguments too, so a balanced view can be reached.
Notice that talkorigins.org does this by directly linking to loads of
creationist sites. I've yet to see a creationist side reciprocate,
here's hoping yours is the first. :)

Perhaps you can talk more atheist sites into posting links to Christian
sites. I visited three atheist sites tonight and none of them had links to
Christian (or creation) sites. They were http://atheistnetwork.com,
http://infidelguy.com, and http://skepticsannotatedbible.com. If you could
get them to post Christian links, then you'd be the first. Here's hoping
you're the first to convince them. ; )

...lies.

By the way, coward... I'm still waiting for you to answer my questions
regarding the babble's "inerrancy". May I assume that you admit to your
lie?

--
UNWRITTEN RULES OF (PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN) FUNDAMENTALISM

1. "I'm right and you are wrong".
2. Never admit that you are wrong, even if you really are.
3. When you have nothing to say, hurl insults.
4. Regard and portray your own violence, whether physical, psychological,
or verbal, at all times as defensive
4a. Specific example for 4.: Cry for "freedom of religion", but whenever followers of other faiths want the same freedom and courts agree, scream "Persecution!"
5. Be prepared at all times to lie and bluster, particularly when backed
into a corner in an argument
5a. When caught lying, always accuse the opposition of lying rather than be honest and admit the obvious
6. Never accept responsibility for any mess you have personally caused.
7. When you are forced to admit to an error, regard the whole process of
error and correction as part of God's personal plan for you and not as a
something for which you should apologise retract or make amends except
verbally and secretly to God himself
8. Always see yourself and you personal actions as part of God's plans for
the world. Recognise that even your errors are just part of Gods will for
the betterment of mankind.
9.Profess humility but avoid the actual experience of it.
10.Refuse to take in information that differs from your own view and
oppose all such information through classification of such information in
a derogatory and simplistic manner(eg by categorising it as left wing
propaganda)
11.Refuse to accept that truth is not black and white; that reality is
complex and there are shades of grey
12.Refuse to forgive anyone else for anything unless you purport to
forgive on behalf of other people unconnected with you for whom you don't
have that right anyhow.

Not sure why this is Chez Wattish, but just for the record, there are links
to religious sites on all three of the sites noted above (maybe *that* makes
in CW-ish?):

True to form Jason displays a lack of scholarship worthy of a monkey.
It really makes you wonder how superficial his book and web site must
really be. Actually, that's rhetorical, it's really quite obvious.

Therion,

I'm more concerned with the capital "C". I first read that as a
name: Jason Characterises. Now, perhaps he does (well, he very
often does--usually unfairly); but I wouldn't like to name him that.

Jason, if I go there when its finished, will I be able to find a
detailed scientific theory of creation... or just links to the same
old (and I do mean old) mixture of pseudo-scientific misconceptions,
out-of-context quotes and religious apologetics?

I think Duane Gish summed up your problem rather nicely;-

"We do not know how the creator created, what processes He used, for
He used processes which are not now operating in the natural universe.
This is why we refer to creation as Special Creation. We cannot
discover by scientific investigation anything about the creative
processes used by the creator. (Duane Gish, Creation Life Publishers,
1979, p. 40.)

I wonder how far down he will hide the disclaimer?

1. No matter what the evidence says, no matter how solid the theory is, if
it does not agree with the bible, it is wrong.
2. And you don't have to show how it is wrong.
3. Unless you agree with what I say the bible says, you are wrong.


I also wonder if he will link to sites that claim a geocentric universe?

Those sites have more science on their side.

The modern YEC can't tell us how kinds developed or got to their final
destination leaving no record at all, but the geocentric people can tell you
exactly when Mars will go retrograde at any point in time.

well, just to be clear, there other sites aren't strictly speaking,
science sites, not even insofar as talkorigins is. and an atheist
site cant really be expected to have links to christian sites,
anymore than christian sites should have links to atheist, or heck
even satanic sites. but the point here is that you're presenting what
you want to be a scientific site, so it might be prudent to include a
link to talk.orgins, or some other pro-evolution site. of course its
not neccessary, but if you have actual evidence and actual rational
arguements, then presenting a dissenting opinion can't really be that
damaging. just my 2 cents anyways.

I don't understand: how is creationism vs. evolution synonymous with
Christianity vs. atheism? Both sides of the analogy fall over if you
think about them.

Regardless, if I ran an atheist site, I would certainly link to
Christian sites -- for laughs and grins. Y'all are some silly people,
willing to believe anything your authoritative masters and
biblidolators say you should believe! It's a miracle!

Point 1) I'm not an atheist and I'm not interested in atheist sites
purporting to push objectives that cannot be studied by science. The
existence of God is a notion that exists outside of scientific
boundaries. Talkorigins is not an atheist site, rather it is a
*scientific resource* that makes no claims about the
existence/non-existence of God. Unless I'm mistaken, I thought you
were intending your site to be a "scientific" resource?

Point 2) Irrespective of point 1, the sites you mention *do* link to
other Christian sites (see other posts in this thread for more info).
It took me a whole ten seconds to find them! With that in mind, will
you now retract your claim in public?

It is a sure sign of a weak argument when one side attempts to
"protect" its readership from "undesirable" opposing points of view.
All creationist sites that I've seen do this. This was the first thing
that alerted my creationist brain a few years ago and led me on the
long path to reject creationism. I was hoping that you would be first
to break the mould. Otherwise, your site will be merely a rehash of
AIG and you might as well go and volunteer your services over there
instead of reinventing the wheel.

Jason, you can't have been looking very thoroughly ( in the same way that

you don't look very thoroughly into the easily disproven claims of Hovind

and Ham). There are so many links on the Skeptics annotated bible site that

I just can't sumon up the energy to go through them (though there are

headings which give the definite impression that they'll link to Christian

sites), but on the other 2 sites there certainly *are* links to Christian

sites:

http://atheistnetwork.com/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=10

http://www.infidelguy.com/modules.php?name=Web_Links&l_op=viewlink&cid=8

I hope that you'll be big enough to acknowledge your error here.

A good point re the type of sites, but in fact, all the sites Jason mentions
as not having links to Christian sites *do* have them. In my years of
looking at religious philosophies, one thing has always stoofd out: the more
"freethinking" and humanist sites almost always tend to link to sites giving
the opposing arguments, whereas fundamentalist Christian sites almost never
do.

There are many links to false teachings of science in the science
advocacy places like talkorigins.org, where are your links to the sites
that show that your site is full of documented errors about science?

Oops. I suppose I was mistaken. IG has a couple links to Christian sites.
AN has exactly two. And SAB has a few scattered in between the
non-Christian sites.

Please don't act like the Christian links are anywhere close to as abundant
as atheist and non-Christian links on their pages. If any of those sites
aimed at being even-handed, they have failed. The non-Christian to
Christian links ratio is highly in the atheists' favor.

Be that as it may, Jason, what does that have to do with placing links to
genuine scientific (I.e. non Creationist) sites within your YEC pages?
The original question was, will your YEC page contain links to genuine
scientific sites, or just link to other YEC apologist sites? The T.O.
website gives ample links to YEC, and OEC sites, so one may compare the
quality of the arguments presented there.

Certianly you are not conflating mainstream science with atheism, are you?
Certianly you know that such a position is false, and you don't wish to ally
yourself with any more falsehoods, do you?

Well, *that* is a rhetoric question!
At least I didn't write it in all caps underlined, and also it only
occured once on the whole page (you would even have to scroll down to
see it if you have a small display). Further I ask you to especially
note that there were NO popup menus, and not even scrolling text in

Nope. The original question was, "Would someone like to help me make
http://yecs.org the biggest archive of young earth creationist data?" This
is why I have passed on a number of questions that have nothing to do with
my question. Right now, I'm looking for helpers; not lots of questions.

It's quite easy to produce an archive of young earth creationists data.
There is none.

Why do you make a false dichotomy between 'atheist' sites and
'christian' sites? The vast majority of Christians in the world find
no problem in reconciling their faith with science, and accept
evolution as sound science. The true dichotonmy is between science and
ignorance.

Or do you wish to perpetrate the idea that it is impossible to be a
Christian and believe that evolution occured?

I assume from this that you will have as many links to
non-Christian sites as you will to Christian sites. And you will
complain if other Christian sites don't do the same. Certainly we
don't want one standard for atheists and one for Christians. (Or,
rather, we should want Christians held to a higher standard.)

It's my time to waste. So, why are *you* bothering to put together such an
archive, when there is no evidence to support YEC? The only thing you will
find is misguided and fraudlent attempts to denigrate real science.

As I said before, certainly you don't want to associate yourself with
those who would deceive, do you?

I generally agree that the last thing we need is for yet another pile
of fallacious rubbish (which, quite honestly, "creation science"
claims are) to be dumped on us in cyberspace. At least a Black Forest
Misthaufe (manure pile, which are traditionally displayed prominently
in the front of the farm) will be put to very good use as fertilizer;
all that such a collection of "creation science" claims will do will
be to poison the mind and the soul and to mislead Christians to sinful
ways for which they will be staunchly unrepentent.

However, if done right, such a collection could serve a useful
purpose. But in order to do so, YOU must ensure or attempt the
following:

1. Research the claims:

a. Where do they come from?
Creationist claims are very much like urban legends. They circulate
about, get told and retold by one creationist after another, and keep
popping up as "authoritative" assertions in countless creationists
books, tracts, and articles. But what is the primary source of those
claims? Who first put forth that claim and in what publication?

For example, we have the infamous claim (that you have recently
back-pedelled on) about leap seconds meaning that the earth's rotation
is slowing down about one second per year every couple years (the
truth is that the rate has been directly measured to be about 2
milliseconds per day every 100 years). The current most popular
vector of this claim appears to be Kent Hovind. But where did that
claim come from? As I found when I researched it for my response to
QuestionEvolution.com (read it at
http://www.geocities.com/chastity403/questionevolution/solarsystem.html
), Hovind got it from Huse, who got it from Wysong, who posted
"primary sources" for that claim. However, it appears to have not
originated from Wysong, though Wysong had apparently added to it,
because we also find Walter Brown having published it two years before
Wysong. So it appears that Walter Brown originated it, though he no
longer uses it.

b. Where does it appear?
Basic bibliography work: where did you find the claim and where can
we go to look it up? Basic scholarship.

c. What are the variants?
As these claims get passed along, they change. Track the evolution of
a particular claim -- there was a Scientific American article last
year about tracking and tracing the spread and evolution of urban
legends by the changes that occur in them.

d. If they claim to be based on a scientific study, then cite that
source.
Part of this would be to research a claim back to a creationist source
that cites a scientific source. For example, in the leap-second claim
mentioned above, from Hovind we have absolutely no idea where he got
that rate of rotational decelleration from nor his calculations about
the consequences of that rate; all we get are conclusions and nothing
about how those conclusions were reached. It is only by researching
back to the original claim that we have any chance of seeing the basis
for that claim.

Of course, in many cases those "scientific sources" simply do not
exist. An infamous example is Gish's "Bullfrog protein" claim in
which he insisted that he had a scientific source and promised to
provide it, but never kept his promise. It turns out that his source
was a joke that he had overheard (seriously! --
http://members.aol.com/dwise1/cre_ev/bullfrog.html ). So where the
source mentioned cannot be found, that must be stated.

e. What is the history of this claim? Has it been refuted or
retracted?
This will address a key problem with "creation science". There is a
history to these claims that most "creation science" opponents know
and most creationists do not know. This causes very serious problems
for creationists trying to use these claims because they will get shot
down in flames (refer to the Answers in Genesis commentary, "What
About Carl Baugh?", reposted at
http://members.aol.com/Paluxy2/whatbau.htm ). The reason for us
knowing much more than the creationists do is that creationists do not
last long -- if they are honest and seeking the truth, that is; the
dishonest ones more highly practiced in self-deception do last much
longer -- because the facts and the evidence are completely contrary
to their position, whereas the "creation science" opponents tend to
last much longer because they DO deal directly and honestly with the
facts and the evidence and they ARE much more apt to seek out the
truth. Plus, new generations of creationists coming up from the
schools and from recent conversion see these same decades-old recycled
claims and think that they are brand-new and sound, not knowing that
in some cases even their originators had disowned them. Those new
creationists have a need to know the history of a claim before they
try to use it.

These entries should also include references to any retractions or
refutations of the claims in question.


These are just some ideas of what your site will need to include in
order for it to serve a useful purpose.

You seem be implying that I am deceptive, but we both know that's not

to deceive you in any way. The people you claim to "trust", however are
practicing deception and you keep eating it up. Don't you see that?

Is that really the action of someone who is commited to Christ? Isn't a

Oh, and I forgot another thing that would make your site a
constructive addition to the Web.

If you are going to include quotes/misquotes, INCLUDE BOTH THE SOURCE
*A*N*D* THE ORIGINAL TEXT FROM WHICH THE MISQUOTE HAD BEEN LIFTED OUT
OF CONTEXT.

After all, simply repeating the same misquotes without trying to
present the truth about them (AKA "repeating lies") would NOT belong
in a ministry devoted to the God of Truth, but rather in a minstry
devoted to Satan.

You could have actually put some material up before telling everyone
about the site.

On the other hand, that site *does* cover the same amount of factual
material that there is available on the subject of creationism, i.e.
none.

I don't know about other creationists, but Kent Hovind has

Whatever else one might say about him, I don't think he's in

If a book says it came from CSE, then I would assume so. Of
course, if the book bears a copyright notice, that would presumably
trump the statement above.

on cave formations. See http://yecs.org/caveformations.htm.

If anyone wants to follow the format on that page, tackle some other issues,
and provide more data and links for us, I'd be happy to receive the
information and post it.

Sincerely,
Jason

Wow. A page full of links to AiG, ICR, and two other idiot sites. Move
along, nothing new at any of them, just Jason passing on the same old
stupidity via links.

How about some information to start with - just appears to be a set of
links to other sites. If you want to defend YECs then you will have to
work very hard and come up with a few very clear ideas that you try to
defend.

I will tell you now that any argument that you use from sites like AIG
have probably been refuted already - check talkorigins.org

Hi Stew,

We have already confirmed the format of http://yecs.org. It will be a place
where one can go and find links to information about YEC topics from the
biggest and most successful YEC organizations in the world. Furthermore, I
HIGHLY doubt that talkorigins.org has refuted the 10 or so articles about
cave formations or the 200+ (upcoming) articles on Noah's flood.

God bless,
Jason

Well, it's good that your criteria is "big" and "successful". If you
were looking for "accurate" or "insightful" you wouldn't have anything
to link.

What you believe and what you doubt are comical at best.

Did you miss that one? And there are a lot more there too, the're just
sitting there in preparation for the rest of the YEC arguments that
you'll be rolling out. See the following link:

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/hovind/howgood.html

Why don't you check through the list of arguments in the link above and
come back with something original? What's the point of reposting all
the tired old arguments from AiG?

200!!! does that mean you have some new data? Where will these papers
be published? On Steve Austins web site? Or will we be seeing you
passing out pamphlets in San Diego? May be you could publish a peer
reviewed book, that would be very convincing.

There are at least two good reasons that the talkorigins website
doesn't need to bother with "refuting" 200+ articles on Ye Fludde:

1) Geology work done by Christians 200 years ago ruled out Ye Fludde
(so don't say it's an evolutionist conspiracy).

2) Most of the material in these 200+ articles will be redundant
anyway.

Besides, there's plenty of refuting done already:

I was unable to find any online resources or articles for Dr. Hovind on cave
formations. Therefore, I'm fairly certain that Matson won't be countering
anything about them from Kent. Nonetheless, as I've already stated and
shown with the example, this web site will be a resource for young earth
creation. People can go elsewhere for evolutionism.

Because more then one person agreed on something makes it no more
valid.

If you look closely many of these sources contradict each other on a
large scale.

It doesnt need to refute them individualy - it refutes the main ideas
which in term refutes the details of you 200+ articles. Noah's flood
has been shown from many different perspectives to be impossible. If
even one of these articles can find a truely scientific new
perspective that does not go counter to what is known then I would be
truly suprised. I am confident that all your articles have been
refuted by talkorigins.org.

A few examples: For logistical reasons you couldnt have two of every
animal on a floating platform. Two is not enough to propigate a
species. No geological evidence exists for a global flood. The weather
conditions needed to cover the whole world with water are impossible
without a sever increase in tempreture - and I mean sever - enough to
kill many of the species. Fresh and salt water fishes? Disease? Lack
of a genetic bottle neck present in known species evident. Lack of
support from other religions. No physical evidence of a wooden ship
that large existing or technology existing at the time to create
something that large that quickly.

There are just too many reasons why a global flood clearly did not
happen.

This is a joke right?? Can you possibly be so badly informed. Can you
really have such poor research and scholarship skills?

Look at the following web site for the material you cannot find::

http://jcsm.org/Creation/Hovind/seminar_part1b.html

WOW hang on a second, that would be YOUR web site???????????

Enough said!!
