Evolutionists are still struggling to refine their understanding of just how evolution works, but at least they are flexible enough to modify their ideas in the face of facts contradicting their sometimes very cherished beliefs.

• Excellent discussion by a fundamentalist Christian chemical engineer on the second law of thermodynamics and why creationsists should stop abusing it. The author believes in divine creation, just doesn't think mankind is privy to the details. The paper is not directly intended as a support of evolution, nor as arguments against evolution, but as a contradiction to bogus arguments against evolution, on the basis that untruths hurt Christianity.
• Alfred Russel Wallace
  Evolutionist and contemporary of Darwin, but also a spiritualist. He was a believer in natural selection, but at what a price! Site run by Dr. Charles H. Smith of Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green.
• A really great read, James Schwartz' "Death of an Altruist" a short biography of George Price, who brought covariance analysis to bear on the problem of genetic selection for altruistic behavior.
• A really good read, James Schwartz' "Oh, My Darwin!" a discursion on Evolutionary Psychology and the big quarrel between gradualists and punctuated equiblibriumists for the hearts and minds of evolutionary sane-kind.
• A. G. Cairns-Smith - Research Interests Chemist interested in abiogenesis, with two books on the general subject of evolution, Seven Clues to the Origin of Life and Evolving the Mind, both linked off this site.
• ALife Yes, that Dawkins, Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene guy, The Blind Watchmaker guy. His position is near one extreme on the span from "evolution is about populations" to "evolution is about allels of single genes". It isn't the situation so much that any of these positions are correct or incorrect, as the creationists like to bray, in an "evolutionists cannot get their acts together" kind of gloat, it is more just that the foci and interests are different, sort of like analyzing the origins of the ingredients versus eating the cake.
• The Thermosynthesis Home Page A quite plausible explanation of the origins of life as molecular thermal cycle driven engines rather than photosynthetic powered ones, with animated illustrations of the chemistry that must have taken much labor and love to create. An excellent education in a lot of the issues surrounding abiogenesis.
• Evolutionary Biology Resources Ehud Lamm gathers together a wonderful fund of links to commentary on Evolution, plus a link to one of the funniest sites you'll ever browse, the Creation - Evolution Encyclopedia of handwaving telling why it (almost all of modern science) isn't so.

A huge resource of Christians speaking in favor of evolution and otherwise living at peace with the findings of science rather than in constant and self-defeating and "reputation of religion damaging" warfare with a solid and ever growing basis of fact supporting evolution, that can and should be indisputable.
