Creationism
An academic site examining the characters, the arguments and the law in the so-called ‘Monkey Trial’ of 1925. This was the first great legal battle between the creationists (in this case the State of Tennessee) and science (in this case a biology teacher who wasn’t even called to give evidence at his own trial).

Why Hancock is wrong - debunking the Lost Civilisation

The Coso Artifact: mystery from the depths of time
This article by Pierre Stromberg and Paul Heinrich of the Pacific Northwest Skeptics solves the ‘mystery’ once and for all. No doubt about it! Here’s their own (too modest) description: The Coso Artifact has been touted by creationists and UFO proponents as evidence of an extremely advanced civilization from thousands of years ago. In the course of investigating this artifact, we made a stunning discovery.

A method for searching for artificial objects on planetary surfaces
Ancient history, modern mysteries and new research, by Rob Speight. A web site “dedicated to bringing you all of the news and information on Modern Mysteries, Ancient History and the New Research.” It claims that it “will not publish anything we cannot substantiate, the Internet is full of rumor which does the subjects we cover little justice.” Judge for yourself.
