Evolution is something that I consider to be fact. There has been a lot of discussion on the internet recently about evolution. Much of the debate seems to be lead by ignorance and there is a general intolerance on both sides.
In 2005 Prof. William D. Rubinstein, a professor of history at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (the university I attended) published an article with his opinions on evolution. The comments in reply to the article are, on the whole, more interesting than the article itself and contain many pointers to websites, books and names of related terms. I will continue to add links that I find relating to evolution so it may provide a starting point for people who might have otherwise written an uninformed article on evolution.
