It is off-topic, but if you want to review some of the Haeckel threads and my debate on this topic, you can see some of what you want addressed. Considering the numbers of hours presented, I think duplicating those efforts is unreasonable. Take the time to read those threads.
The nature of the creation/evolution debate is repetitive. Any issue raised has likely been discussed here many times before. EvC Forum attracts around 30 new members per week, and each new member is entitled to discuss topics from scratch without being required to read old threads, and it will often happen that old issues get rediscussed among old members as issues are rarely settled in any final fashion.
In other words, this is a debate board, not a summer reading list. Past participation here does not relieve you of the responsibility of actually debating. You do not at any point achieve the status of
Debater Emeritus who need only provide references to old threads. If you make a point in a thread you're expected to support it with evidence and argument in the very same thread. Providing helpful references is a good idea, but they should only be used in an auxiliary manner.
