I just picked up a book at Amazon
that some people might like. It's not a new book, but it looks quite promising.

It's called the Counter-Creationism Handbook, by Mark Isaak, who also writes a column at the website, talkorigins.org, a well known atheistic website.

Has anyone read this yet? Supposedly he gives good, researched arguments and discussions that pretty much blow away any rantings by creationists. I know I will have to look at it more than once in order to memorize some of those points!

And I would love to hear about other books that will tell creationists where to go. ;) I'm sure others would as well.

1. Denying Evolution: Creationism, Scientism, and the Nature of Science
A pretty good book by massimo pigliucci. He tells the creationists where to go, talks about some of his encounters in debates, and clarifies some myths about evolution and science. He's not rude enough for my tastes though :rofl:.
