Because the universe is beautiful enough without having to lie about it

Presentations

On this page you can find a free repository of powerpoint presentations and text files for use in supporting science against creationist opponents.  The subjects in these slides were initially taken from a reading of Kent Hovind’s enormous 6,016 slide Powerpoint corpus. Yes, I actually read them all. I believe you can get most of them from this web page, though be warned that they’re huge files!

The first step should be downloading and reading the Overview files below, but then feel free to download any of the other files in any order. Each presentation comes with a text file accompanying it, detailing the main arguments in that particular subject as well as the actual relevant science. I have also provided hints and tips for most effectively getting the scientific message across in each case.  The images used in all the presentations are public domain and can be reproduced without prohibition. The majority are from the Wikimedia foundation. See their terms of use here.

Copyright : You are free to use any of these totally free of charge, but please bear in mind that the original copyright for the text and slides rests with me, Colin Frayn. Copyright of the images rests with the original copyright owner.  You are allowed to take this material and modify it as much as you like with three caveats: (1) please acknowledge that I am the original author and (2) if you write anything new or fix errors in my slides, feel free to send it back to me and I’ll incorporate it into the archive and (3) none of my work, nor derivative versions based on it, may be sold on for profit.

Disclaimer: I’m sure there are errors in these slides. If you use my work then you agree not to hold me responsible for any loss/damage/embarrassment caused by errors or omissions in my work. Also, if you’re going to completely mash everything in here and misrepresent it, then please don’t tell your audience that I said it all, or I’ll get some really irritating emails.
