Christian Answers (Home page)
Good website for those people looking for answers to their questions about God, faith, creation, evolution, life, etc.

Christian Answers: Creation
Christian Answers.com - Creation. On this particular section of the website, there are brilliant articles all about creation, written from the science perspective. It is brilliant! This is a great resource for anyone interested in both faith & science (as I am) & really helps you to et to grips with the problems of the theory of (macro) evolution by natural selection.

Christian Answers: Origin of life
Christian Answers.com - Creation - Origin of life. This article is brilliant! It was a huge eye-opener for me, & the first time I found an article which really talked in terms of both solid science & evidence, & faith in God. Previously I had only read articles & books which referred to the bible, with very little reference to the know facts that science presents. This article delves into the solid physical sciences & talks in depth about what we know, & relates that to the origin of life. Great stuff!
