Can anybody give me a good scholarly journal or paper that defends creationism or gives major flaws of evolution--from an origin of human standpoint or any standpoint (like the big bang).

I will not debate evolution or creationism on this forum.

I hope y'all can give me some good sources.

Creationism sources are the hardest thing to find; I mean good one's from educated people.

You can find plenty wrong with Darwin, but it sure would be hard to find something wrong with the current theory. Perhaps you could find ambiguity but I would say it doesn't look good for creationists at all.

Ken Ham lol.

He's good,
Does Ken Ham have a scholarly paper? I can't use just his website. Teacher's rule.

Where can I find this quote?

I know, it's an up hill battle trying to find good sources; right now, I'm trying to find weakness in dating techniques and others. Trying to find the flaws of the big bang theory, I'm trying to understand this law of thermodynamics that can disprove it--but thermodynamics is complicated.

Ken Ham vs. Bill Nye is a great debate to watch. If you're looking for scholarly journals just use google scholar.

Also if you're looking for debating techniques, ArguingFromIgnorance is a good youtube channel to watch.

Can't find scholarly journals defending creationism; that's the problem, tried google scholar already.

How's it great when the debate was so one sided?

Hard to find arguments in support of creationism on a rational level. I'd check wikipedia but look through the sources at the bottom for not just what is written on wikipedia.

There's no evidence for creationism other than faith.

Just checked, I think I may have a lead. Thanks!

You're right. But I'm doing a debate paper--in a debate, if you can't give a rational argument proving your point, you go on the offensive and destroy the other side.

You will never find a scholarly paper on creationism because there is no evidence for it. The best place to find information on creationism is Ken Ham's site . For radioactive dating techniques, Wikipedia has a good list. You can also look at the sources that Wikipedia uses to find a more credible site for you paper. However any .edu or .gov site is credible; .org sites can be, but I don't always trust them.

You're welcome, for a Philosophical argument for Creationism/Intelligent Design, here is an article by Alvin Plantinga concerning the errors of materialistic reductionism in Evolution:

It has to do with the philosophical view of materialism, basically it says that empiricism and material causality encompasses the totality of objective phenomena, and that evolutionary mechanisms are completely accounted for through natural selection, the "Universal Acid" as Daniel Dennett calls it.

Yes, and also, strong reductionism argues that we do not have Qualia aka qualitative experience, we are merely "strong A.I" according to them, read Mervin Minsky and Daniel Dennett regarding the material reductionist's view of consciousness.
