Creationism is not the alternative to evolution, ignorance is.
The only web site that gives the facts about evolution but also gives links to creationist attempts at rebuttal is Talk Origins
http://www.talkorigins.org
What the Coriolis effect has to do with evolution I cannot fathom - and that charlatan and criminal Kent Hovind doesn't know either.
Answers in Genesis started in Australia but has been taken over by the US branch with a great schism between the creationists. A good Australian site is No Answers in Genesis at
http://home.austarnet.com.au/stear/default.htm
You can read all about the creationist split there as well as some great stuff about evolution.

What is less biased on beliefs than a petroleum company trying to make money? Do some research and see if you can find even one petroleum geologist who uses any of the Creationism notions about geology to locate oil plays. Every single one of the professional geologists I know has no doubt whatsoever that the Earth is billions of years old and life evolved from a common ancestor. The group of geologists I'm talking about covers most of the Christian denominations, Islam, Hindu, Buddhist, Atheist, one Wiccan and one Navajo. I have never personally met a Creationist who was not a Christian fundamentalist with the exception of a few Native Americans.... and they had just as much supporting evidence that a magic animal created the world by kicking around a blood clot or playing with mud as Christian Creationists have for their notions.
With that in mind, it may be as difficult to find the type of information you seek as it would be to find unbiased information on the views of white supremacy vs Social Sciences. Exploring http://www.talkorigins.org/ will provide you with a truthful view on the debate, although it may seem very biased just due to the tactics used by Creationists. Creationist presentations never withstand scrutiny very well.
To MB110: It's not surprising you dismiss the valid points made against Creationism then copy and paste "evidence" that has already been refuted publicly elsewhere like you think it still needs answering. Typical Creationist tactics include evading answering challenges, then repeating their own over and over while ignoring when they are proven wrong. I don't need to answer your questions; it's been done elsewhere many times. Feel free to act as if that isn't an issue to you.
Dr Dino??? LOL!!! Thank you for proving my point, MB. He is one of the worst charlatans, and there is much information showing he knowingly lies and uses dishonest tactics not only in matters dealing with evolution, but in most aspects of his public life. He is more active than most Creationists, but otherwise typical. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Hovind has a little bit of information about him, and a few hundred references at the end worth following the links on. You really should ask yourself why the leading Creationists have to be snake oil salesmen if Creationism is more than a scheme to sell coffee table books and videos to the ignorant masses that think believing and repeating obvious lies even after the fallacies have been pointed out makes them closer to their chosen diety.
As for the silly notions on Hovinds site, Talkorigins covers almost every one of them in detail, if not all.

creation is a non secular tale Evolution is a scientific organic and organic concept. there is not any authentic argument right here. one is a technology subject count number with over a hundred and fifty years of information in the back of it and the different is a non secular tale written in a e book hundreds of years in the past after being exceeded on via storytellers for generations and that they've not have been given something to do with one yet another. heavily all of us who stands up and says humanity has discovered all there is stable now approximately each and every thing is obviously retarded and desires to be sterilized for the sake of the species so if the case (and by no ability met all of us that asserts we've) why can we assume that folk so some time past they concept epilepsy became demon possession and that have been no longer able to craft telescopes, etc....they needless to say have been all understanding and knew each and every of the mysteries of the universe and knew precisely the place it got here from, from what it became made, how long it took.....yet had no clue earth revolved around sunlight, earth's axis and rotation led to seasons, etc. Now you stated some thing had to create the massive bang....nicely no longer likely, yet i think of a few thing did. That, inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, has 0 to do with Evolution. Any being able to starting to be a universe, and installation rules of actuality so as that the entire factor might artwork.....is so a techniques above us that to think of people so some time past figured all of it out and wrote it down and inspite of different variations and translations of holy books all of them by some ability got here out suited is only basic lunacy on the order of thinking fred flinstone invented flight yet in addition conceitedness many cases that of devil

You're not going to find it, though the book The Blind Watchmaker is a very well scientifically supported overview of evolution.
The thing is, evolution is science, and creationism is religious indoctrination. There is no real evidence for creationism. It has to be taken on faith. There's overwhelming evidence for evolution.
Evolution to creationism is apples to oranges...creationism is just not even vaguely related to science.

Creationism doesn't account for ancient cultures such as Aborigines who have been in Aust for about 50000 years. That's 46000 years older than what the bible predicts. Also when Noah was around building the ark Aust wasn't known about, so how could he get Skippy the kangaroo and the rest of his mates on the boat?

I'm a firm believer in creation.
I wont even try to argue with some of the previous answers, but please answer me these questions Now and Then.
1. If the earth is slowing down every year- how fast do you think it was moving Billions of years ago?
2. Now using your knowledge, what do you think conditions would have been like taking into account the Coriolis effect?

Take a look at http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/help/timeform.html for a neat look at the fossil record of evolution.

Answers in Genesis has established a strong foothold in Austrailia and South Africa. They are rabid creationists.
