My name is Fuller Ming and I am a devout Christian. Thus, because of my faith, I currently reject a purely naturalistic view of the universe. I do indeed believe, based on my faith, that there is a Creator. Those who differ with RationalWiki's premise were invited to join, so I did.

RationalWiki's claim states that its purpose is: 1. Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement. 2. Documenting the full range of crank ideas. 3. Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism. 4. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media.

However, the real purpose of RationalWiki is to promote a purely naturalistic view of the universe and to outright reject any claim that includes the metaphysical or supernatural. In fact, RationalWiki's tone is to consider foolish and "a crank" any idea that include even a hint of the metaphysical or supernatural. Thus, the purpose is actually not to refute pseudoscience and anti-science but to prove that all religions are purely myth and inventions of mankind. For example, in the definition of Theistic Evolution, the article states that it is an attempt to reconcile the theory of evolution "with religious myths involving a creator deity".

I am not a proponent of Theistic Evolution but I would not define it as reconciling religious myth with a scientific theory. I would define it as an attempt at reconciling religious claims with the scientific theory of evolution. However, those involved in RationalWiki seem to want to stamp out religion, specifically faiths systems that include a Creator such as Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Sure, many would claim that's not true - but it MUST be true because all three of these faith systems claim to involve the supernatural and a creator. In fact, to reject the supernatural is to reject all three of these faith systems and to put them in the category of myth along with ancient Norse, Egyptian, Roman and Greek religions, and along with the pleathera of myths, superstitions, ancestral religions and other ancient beliefs and customs around the world.
