Via the Biblioblog Top 50 I learned of several new blogs, including Larry Tanner’s blog Textuality. And so I’m sharing a post on creationism’s gaps from several months ago that I just encountered for the first time. The key point he makes is this: “When we compare evolution to creationism, then, we can fairly conclude that Whatever the gaps in evolution, the gaps in creationism are substantially bigger and badder. Indeed, this conclusion seems to me so obviously sensible and accurate that I really wonder why anyone would prefer creationism to evolution.”
