Young Mennonites
Apparently more accepting of evolution than average US citizen. Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science 01:58, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Influencing highly religious undergraduate perceptions of evolution: Mormons as a case study
Apparently educating Mormon undergrads about evolution or educating them about their own religion improves acceptance of evolution, as does reducing religiosity. 13:08, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

History of creationism
Intelligently Designed: How Creationists Built the Campaign against Evolution. 21:29, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

I think this article should be at least a silver
It appears to match the requirements. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. -DiamondDisc1 (talk) 00:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. It's time to Silver this shit. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 12:09, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Humor removal
Was there really a reason to do that? This article was apparently already judged as a good one over a long period of time and the snarky tone of the altered section fits the nature of the site. Arawn Emrys (talk)
 * Yeah but it isn't humourous. Acei9 22:02, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

The foundational falsehoods of creationism
If you care about Creationism, I highly recommend checking out AronRa's now-classic video series, The Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism.

Here, just to get the saliva running, I'll start you off with the first vid. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 22:47, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Question
Would it be possible to change 'Fossil record' (article history) into some form of deliberately ironical putdown? 82.44.143.26 (talk) 16:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK: it already is. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 17:47, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * As it is used of all articles the term becomes invisible.
 * Probably most people even while accepting evolution as a reasonable explanation (even if sometimes complexified by eg one species evolving in tandem with others or being specifically selected for traits by another - do ants specifically select aphids on the basis of their sugar production?) probably wonders at why there are so many species and how did such complexity develop ('sensory spots' once developed can be adapted to register light/sound/pressure etc - but how did they become eyes and ears etc; hibernation makes sense - but how did pupation develop? etc) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
 * The joke is that Wikipedia calls the same tab "History". We call it "Fossil record" instead, because the fossil record is a record of our history. Reverend Black Percy (talk) 20:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Why no Young-Earth atheists?
Have you ever noticed how everyone who holds to a young age of the Earth is religious? If the Earth really were only a few thousand years old, then shouldn't there be at least one non-religious scientist to pick up on the fact? There ought to be at least one PhD.-holder going around saying "I don't belive in any sort of god, but I have found considerable evidence that the Earth may not be as old as we previously thought. But again, just because the Earth is a world that's only 6,000 years old, it does not necessarily follow that it is a world that was also put there by some powerful supernatural entity." &mdash; Unsigned, by: Skadooshbag / talk / contribs 22:55, 15 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Because no one can go back in time and objectively verify the age of the Earth. Lightest (talk)
 * This is really two statements:
 * No one can literally travel back in time (as far as we know) - obviously true.
 * The age of Earth cannot be objectively verified - obviously false.
 * This smacks of the silly, How do you know? Were you there? nonsense.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 17:56, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

Cover story (sticky)
It's a good article(as the Silver award), and with how Creationism could possibly be considered one of the more knownpseudosciences. A few touch-ups in some places might be the only thing needed. Custom (talk) 17:24, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
