From RationalWiki
Isn't everything in Category:Creationism likely also critical of creationism? 141.134.75.236 (talk) 15:58, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- ...Yes? But if you look at the contents of this category, it's specifically pages that are intended and designed to be deconstructions of creationism in general, not responses to specific creationist claims. Ikanreed (talk) 16:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- I dunno if "criticism of" is the best way to phrase it then, though. Oh, and it seems this category is specifically about Young Earth Creationism. 141.134.75.236 (talk) 16:24, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- Possibly because OEC isn't exactly falsifiable, where (in some respects) YEC is. OEC arguments can usually boil down to "well I guess you're right but I think god started it anyways" Trick (talk) 16:52, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
- This category is mostly just to populate the "Science" section of Template:Creationnav, since that section was more specific than "Random articles". FüzzyCätPötätö (talk/stalk) 17:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
