Talk:Creation and social history
From RationalWiki
Is this more of an essay than an article? I don't see what is being "defined" here, though the information is interesting. — Unsigned, by: WaitingforGodot / talk / contribs
[edit] delete or move to essay or what?
I agree with WFG. What is this mess for anyway? ħuman

- Another article against a literal interpretation of the bible. How about we give these a consistent titling system, like Biblical chronology: a social history perspective and round up a few others similar. - π 05:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, but the title sucks, and only vaguely relates to the content. It still reads like an essay, and maybe it should be one. "Christian young earth creationists would have us believe that the world is somewhat over 6000 years old, having been created shortly before 4000 BCE." as an opening sentence is very vague, unless it's an essay. ħuman

- Keep. The only problem is the title. perhaps we could have a contest, with a year's supply of goats as the first prize. Totnesmartin 22:27, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
- The content is reasonably interesting but, as others have said, he title doesn't tell you a lot. It really should be "Creationism ... but even then it's not very informative. A long title might "Arguments against a YEC worldview based on social history". But, while such a title would be accurate, it doesn't really run nicely off the tongue.--BobNot Jim 22:59, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
