What is wrong with the Christian apologetic website

Please be courteous and specific.

No offense intended, Jim, but I'm assuming from this that you're
probably a fundamentalist Christian who very likely accepts the Bible
(or most of it) as literally true and who has little or no knowledge
or understanding of science. After all, you wouldn't even be asking
this question otherwise. Always assuming, of course, that you're not
merely a troll.

It's tough to know where to start, because in fact there's nothing
*right* with AIG. First of all, it isn't a Christian apologetic site.
It's a creationist site, the avowed purpose of which is to debunk
evolution and promote the YEC agenda. The tone is arrogant, the claims
are specious, the "science" is bogus, the arguments are fallacious and
the goal is obvious.

AIG resorts to distortion, misrepresentation and outright lies to
promote the creationist agenda. Even the site name is a sham. They
aren't there to provide any real answers. Their aim is to gain
converts to young-earth creationism even if they have to lie their
asses off to do it. And they do. Lie their asses off, that is. :-)

I suggest you visit this site for starters. You might find the tone a
bit condescending at times, but it's no worse than the disdain for
"evolutionists" we so often find on creationist sites, so grin and
bear it.

Here you'll find detailed examinations and refutations of many of
AIG's bogus claims, plus you'll discover that the *real* theories of
evolution, the *scientific* ones, bear no resemblance to AIG's silly
strawman version. You'll also discover that, contrary to AIG's
insinuations, the Big Bang and abiogenesis are *not* part of the ToE

For more detailed explanations of modern evolutionary theory, the
evidence supporting it and what it does and does not attempt to
explain, and to see why the evidence points to evolution and an
unimaginably old Earth, go here;

Some of the information on this site, and other sites it may lead you
to, may be a bit technical for someone with little or no scientific
background. If you don't understand something, ask. More than likely
someone will be happy to help you.

Above all, understand that the information you'll find on these sites
is based on actual observations. It's real-world stuff. The
conclusions you'll find there were painstakingly formulated and
rigorously tested by a great many highly qualified people. They have
withstood the test of time and survived every attempt to prove them
false. They are in most cases as close to proven as it's possible to
be in science. Don't let your religious beliefs blind you to that
fact.
