Over the years, I’ve dedicated significant effort to the field of biological evolution, clarifying the scientific facts and truths, while also defending it against the misconceptions and challenges posed by young earth creationists and other fundamentalist groups
To streamline access to my contributions, I've decided to create a comprehensive resource page that consolidates all the links to my articles and videos in one place—a thorough hub for evolution education and critical analysis of YEC arguments.
This will serve as a single, convenient source that
I can share when needed, functioning as a portal to all my relevant material.
So, where to start? I’ll offer some suggestions for
navigating this page, although if you prefer, feel free to move around at your
leisure in any order you wish. Articles
are in blue and Videos are in purple
For comprehensive coverage on the basics of the
evolution and creation topic, both from a scientific perspective and a Biblical
perspective, I’d start with this talk I gave:
An Evening With The PM #6: Creation
& Evolution Talk + Q & A
Then you might wish to follow it up with this
video:
Simple, But Irrefutable Evidence For
Evolution
Then I think I’d recommend my eight part series It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution, which takes the reader on a comprehensive journey through the key elements of the creation/evolution topics:
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part II - Alleles & Genetic Algorithms
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part III - Assigned DNA Codes
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part IV - On Speciation
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part V - How & Why We Evolved Two Sexes
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part VI - The Origin Of Life
It's Impossible To Love The Truth And Deny Evolution: Part VII - On Interpreting Scripture
Then, it might be good to suggest some more niche
or specialised articles on evolution:
My Favourite Metaphor For Evolution
On The Myth That You Can't See Evolution Happening
We Did *Not* Evolve From Apes. We *Are* Apes, Silly!
Next, a few articles on God’s creation may help appreciate His Divine handiwork:
Creation was very good, but was it perfect?
Understanding the nature of God’s creation
Evolution helps us marvel in the extraordinary
The Mathematical Bias Theory Redux: Why There Probably ‘IS’ a God – in 20 Steps
Then, here are a few deeper, philosophical articles on evolution:
Irrreducibly Complex Society, Biology & All That Mathematical Jazz
A Fascinating Twist On The Theory Of Our Evolution
God, Evolution, Genes, Morality, Altruism, Grace & Sacrifice
What Would Happen If We Rewound Evolution?
Then, some general criticisms of creationism and of the denial of evolutionary theory:

An Evening With The PM #17: Going Head To Head With A Creationist
Last, but by no means least, here are some conversations I had that are worth exploring – in the first 2 videos, we hear from ex-YECs who’ve seen the light; and in the third video, I have an interesting discussion with Herman Mays, professor in genetics at Marshall University:
An Evening With The PM #14: Former Young Earth Creationists Who've Seen The Light
An Evening With The PM #15: Former Young Earth Creationists Who've Seen The Light
An Evening With The PM #7: A Discussion With Dr. Herman
Mays On Creationism
Edit to add: Here is a great resource from my friend Kristine Johnson,
entitled Basics of Evolution, which is full of
excellent material on a wide range of topics, with input from a wide range of
good contributors.
