  The primary goal of the Darwin Club is to educate Augustana and the surrounding community about evolutionary biology and its scientific and philosophical significance. Here we have compiled the best educational links and resources to help you learn more about evolution and the controversy surrounding it.

  This is the first place to go to learn about the evolution-creationism controversy. Its 'resources' section  includes excellent introductions to the science of evolution, to creationism, and intelligent design. The NCSE site also includes current news about the invasion of creationism into public schools. Portions of NCSE Reports, NCSE's journal are also available online.

  An awesome internet newsgroup devoted to 'the discussion and debate of biological and physical origins.' Read about and discuss the science of evolution, intelligent design, relevant court decisions, and just about anything else related to the topic.
