Perspective: Neutral Webpage Local copy
Summaries of articles of the topic from several magazines. Examines the rapidly increasing problem of drug-resistant strains of bacteria, explains how drug resistance develops, and suggests what steps we can take.

Perspective: Evolutionist Webpage
PDF copies of papers which are no longer in print.
Are pseudogenes really purposeless junk DNA whose presence of identical copies in different species is an indicator of common descent and an argument against Creation? Or is the conclusion of purposeless unjustified? Explores the details behind this issue.
Pseudogenes: Are They Non-Functional?
Perspective: Creationist Webpage Local copy
Argues that pseudogenes do indeed possess function and therefore are not the evidence for evolution that evolutionists claim.
Pseudogenes: a Description of the Problem
Perspective: Neutral Webpage Local copy
Explains how man's decline can be interpreted in terms of pseudogenes.
Explains the results of recent work on transposons, DNA sequences which move around in the genome. Improved understanding is revealing that these mobile genetic elements are more important than had previously been appreciated.
A detailed discussion of types of mutations and their potential effects. Explains how mutations can be either harmful, neutral and helpful. Provides examples.
Provides a little background on natural selection and genetic drift, then explains how recent work has not supported the position of the neutralists who believe that most evolution takes place through genetic drift rather than through natural selection.
