What, no Creationist literature?? Curiously the course on Evolution and Society discusses the early, pre-Darwin, investigations that led to the understanding that deep time was involved, and reviews the various Christian integrations and reactions. They don't make more than a passing references to Creationism, such as:
Lecture #2 PDF quote: ... where they discuss the differenced between "Historical Science" and "Experimental Science" and they do provide answers via things learned that invalidate certain concepts (such as a Young Earth). Such as their demonstration that:
quote: So it appears that they are well aware of the Creationism talking points but choose to deal with them tangentially by showing the basis for scientific knowledge that makes such thinking obsolete and scientifically irrelevant. Interesting factoid: Darwin had the same dorm room at Christ’s College ... as William Paley. Material is in PDF and look like they would be used as slide shows for lectures, and thus many questions are left for the student to answer. Quite a different format from Berkeley Evolution 101 which is more like an on-line textbook. In Lecture 9 they make the argument that his inspiration for natural selection came from reading Malthus:
quote: AND then Wallace
Lecture 10 PDF:
quote: He sent it to Darwin. So they were very much on the same page at the same time.

The calculus I video course is outstanding. I recommend it for anyone whose college education did not include Calculus. It is accessible for a student who has had trigonometry, but the trig stuff can be skipped.
Yale has online courses as does Cal Berkeley. I highly recommend the Berkeley Astronomy Course with Alex Filippenko if it is still available. Probably not YEC friendly...Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. Galileo Galilei If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Alex's video course is no longer on line at Cal Berkeley. I did find a link to the audio, but the quality of the recording does not do the material justice. It does get better after lecture one.
