CREA Don't know if this will be of interest/value or not, but I've been "tilting at windmills" recently with some local adherents of Creationism of the Morris/Gish/ICR variety. As a result, I've acquired copies of a number of texts critical of creationism ( Ronald Numbers' __The Creationists: The Evolution of Scientific Creationism__, Tim M. Berra's __Evolution and the Myth of Creationism__, G. Brent Dalrymple's __The Age of the Earth__) as well as two advanced undergrad/reference texts on evolution (Mark Ridley's __Evolution__ second edition, and Douglas J. Futuyma's __Evolutionary__ Biology third edition). In addition, some of the OE creationist books are positively CRAMMED with data refuting YE creationism, and I've got a couple of those titles on hand as well. I know the timing is tight, but if you need quotes on specific topics, etc., let me know & I'll see if I can't find something useful. Luck with the "debate". Take care of yourself & be good to yourself. With Mettaa, Joseph Crea <Joseph.Crea@worldnet.att.net>
