It is a measure of how successful evolutionary propaganda has been that some might question whether there is any need to look at the idea of Creation, since surely Evolution is accepted by everyone nowadays?

 Creation Rediscovered, by Gerard J. Keane
Foreword by Professor Maciej Giertych
"In clear and simple language, Gerard J. Keane reviews the present status of the Evolution-Creation controversy. I am very happy to be able to recommend this book. Indeed, Creation Rediscovered by science comes to the rescue of Christianity."
Preface by By Rev. Fr. Peter Damian Fehlner, S.T.D
"It is most important that Catholics have available to them studies of Origins such as Gerard Keane's Creation Rediscovered, which is free of errors in faith and morals and advances sound Origins arguments on the premises of Catholic theology."
Introduction by Gerard J. Keane
Chapter 13 - The Position within Catholicism - Part One
Chapter 13 - The Position within Catholicism - Part Two
Review by Anthony Nevard
"Creation Rediscovered should be read by every Catholic priest, teacher and parent who is still under the delusion that the facts of modern science require a revision of Catholic doctrine relating to the origins of the World and the nature of Man."

Site which details the new insights of Guy Berthault in sedimentology, and which demonstrates how sediments can be laid down very quickly, thus radically challenging the necessity for the "long ages" of evolutionary theory.
Answers In Genesis
This is a very well resourced Evangelical Christian site, which makes information and books etc., available to a world-wide audience. Once there you can choose your preferred language. Some caution is needed in realizing that this is an evangelical site, and thus is not necessarily fully compatible with Catholicism - but as far as can be ascertained, the majority of the material available is essentially concerned with presenting the biblical case for Creation, and this is something that any Catholic should be able to go along with. This is an example of genuine ecumenism!
