Creationist claims
From RationalWiki
Creationist claims are statements made for the ostensible purpose of providing evidence for creationism, but nearly always are in the form of evidence against the theory of evolution. While creationists' arguments in many cases at first appear to be verified intuitively, they without exception contain one or many logical fallacies and mistakes of fact.
An example of a creationist claim is that there is a lack of support for evolution among scientists. This claim has for example been articulated, "Interestingly, ever since Charles Darwin's book The Origin of Species was published in 1859, various aspects of the theory have been a matter of considerable disagreement even among top evolutionary scientists."[1] To counter this claim one need only note that scientists' disagreements are about details over the way that evolution functions - and not about the historical fact of it.
Hundreds more claims have similarly be countered by examination of them. It is unnecessary to identify all these claims and refutations here, as there is a complete list compiled on talk.origins.
