Doing some random searching tonight, I ran into "Holysmoke.org." It's a site I've never seen, and is very well written, even if graphically rather ugly. The site seems mostly to be the work of one James A. Haught, "an old newspaper editor." His articles, and there are many reprinted from national publications, are (at first glance) first-rate skepticism at its best.

Anybody here familiar with this site, or with Mr. Haught?

I have encountered it before in connection with Scientology and creation "science". There is a very good what evolution is and isn't FAQ.
