Jeff, in the comments on SciAm Smacks Down Creationism, makes a good point: for all my bashing of creationism and intelligent design I haven’t actually cited any references to the other side (the non-scientific side), an error on my part I admit and I hope to rectify that here.
These are, as I understand it, among the dominant sources on the web for the theological rationales behind these two concepts. Quite obviously this list is by no means comprehensive. I do not quote these sources or provide excerpts of any form so as to not bias the list itself.
Creationism
- The Wikipedia: Creationism
- http://www.creationism.org/
- Creationism Connection
- Creation Answers
- Creation Theory.org
- Stanford University Encyclopedia of Philosophy: Creationism
Intelligent Design
If I’ve omitted a resource you think is important please feel free to use the comments to expand the list.
(Oh, and the “x”’s beside the points are not subtle editorials on the points. They’re the default Unicode character I chose for HTML unordered list items when I first created the CSS file for this blog years ago. All unordered lists on this blog use those X’s as their bullets, honest.)

Thanks for the effort Chris, and the reasonable attitude. I’m happy to look at those this weekend. I hope that time frame is ok. Also, I’m mostly going to look at the ID stuff. I don’t consider myself well enough informed about the creationist stuff to have an opinion.
Cool, you’re in for some interesting times. The ID side is well determined to couch itself in “science”, you’ll read that a lot. However, while reading keep this in mind about true definition of “science”:
“any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation.”
Note that last bit, “unbiased observation and systematic experimentation”. It is the cornerstone of the scientific method, and the hallmark of real science.
