While the Talk.Origins Archive already has a slew of FAQs, there are many issues that come up regularly or occasionally which aren't adequately addressed by the existing set of articles and essays. So, the archive maintains this Request for FAQs list, which describes topics for wanted articles. People wishing to write FAQs may peruse the RFF list below and see if their knowledge or expertise matches any of the listed topics -- or any other issue relevant to the evolution/creationism debate that isn't covered on the archive. If so, by all means, check the submission guidelines and start pounding away at the keyboard.
