True.Origin Archive

The True.Origin Archive is a website that has become the primary clearing house for creationists to respond to specific criticisms leveled at them by Talk.Origins Archive. The articles are written by many from the creationary community having PhD, MS, and BS Degrees. Multiple links between Talk.Origins Archive and True.Origin Archive are provided on both websites.
Origins and history
The True.Origin Archive began in 1997 when Timothy Wallace wrote a rebuttal because a relative suggested that a few Talk.Origins articles would clear up Wallace's "erroneous" thinking on the subject. It was originally written to demonstrate (for that relative) the application of critical thinking skills and a measure of objectivity in the analysis of evolution. It was then "published" as a web page for a wider readership.
Wallace, president of a website design and hosting company, then expanded the web site in the style of Talk.Origins Archive.
No individuals, churches, denominations or organizations sponsor, fund or control the True.Origin Archive website other than Wallace. He does not solicit donations; however some people have asked to donate, so a Paypal donation button was provided.
Features
The website provides both pointed rebuttals to what it calls "the Neo-Darwinian macro-evolution origins model," along with claims of "compelling, corroborative support" in the "data of empirical science." Besides rebuttal articles directed at it has many guest articles written by members of Creation Research Society, Institute for Creation Research, Answers in Genesis, and Creation Ministries on geology, isometric dating, biology, paleontology, astronomy and information theory. There is also a section where creationists are allowed to defend their positions.
The archive has a feedback system soliciting reader comments, and originally posted a compilation of these, along with responses, each month. However, Wallace stopped updating this page in 1997, stating that "the formatting and posting of feedback material" was a "lower priority than original articles themselves".
Criticism
The archive has been criticized as being biased by favoring only one side and only featuring links to like-minded websites. Wallace agrees, “This website was established expressly for the purpose of giving voice to the creationary perspective." Multiple links to Talk.Origins Archive exist throughout the site.
