Oolon's list of useful links

Creationism

The Talk Origins Archive

Does exactly what it says on the tin: it provides the mainstream scientific answers to creationist claims. The best single place to check out the accuracy of any creationist claim. Of course it's biased; that's hardly a surprise, because creationism is wrong, and this site will show you very precisely why that is the case.

Some of the most useful sections are:

• Must-Read Files
• Biology and Evolutionary Theory
• 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent
• Fossil Hominids: The Evidence for Human Evolution

Clifford A Cuffey's pages:

• Evolution, Scientific Creation, Uniformitarian Geology, and Flood Geology
• The Fossil Record: Evolution or 'Scientific Creation'
  A very useful critique of the evidence for evolution and 'scientific creation' from a fossil and geology perspective. Especially handy are:
  • Transitional fossils
  • Mammal-like reptiles (excellent diagrams and details on the synapsids)
  • Faunal Succesion and Correlation
  • The Nature of Science

Palaeontology

Palaeos

Everything you could want to know about the history of life, really, all in one huge place. Palaeontology, geochronology, systematics and the diversity of life, ancient and modern. Vast quantities of details about many fossil groups of interest, including especially:

• Tetrapods -- fish with legs!
• Therapsids and the reptile-mammal transition
• Aves (birds... well sort of ;-))
• Invertebrates -- browse through them!

Biology

Journey into Phylogenetic Systematics

Don't be put off by the title: this is a nice simple introduction to what CLADISTICS is all about, how it works and why it's useful.

Medical matters

Atlas of Dermatology

You name it, if a parasite or pathogen does it to the skin, there'll be a picture of it here.

The Big Picture Book of Viruses

A marvellous collection of electron microscope etc pictures of these beautiful -- and often deadly -- creations.

Centres for Disease Control and Prevention

An A to Z of diseases -- that is, things caused by those amazing creations, parasites and pathogens.

Parasite Images

From Acetodextra to Zygocotyle lunata, by way of bot flies, filariasis, sand fleas and trypanosomes, together with useful notes about each one of these lovely creations.

Photo Gallery of Bacterial Pathogens

Want a photo of a disease-causing bacterium? You'll probably find one here.

Freethought

Freedom From Religion Foundation
Despite its US emphasis, this is a useful collection of non-religious materials. I'm especially fond of:

• Mass Killings Ordered, Committed, Or Approved By God
• Why Jesus?
