Use professional language[edit]

So that teachers will feel comfortable having their students read these pages, we should avoid the four-letter-word-obscenities -- such as the ones at the end of the "Dear Emma B" and "Fourth-grade science test" sections. DrMatt (talk) 13:48, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Could use some more sources[edit]

I really think that we should try to get this article up the quality scale. Looking around much of the propaganda that creationists use these days (especially on youtube), this seems to be one of their most favorite arguements.

From AIG -
When teaching children, we tell them they should politely ask the question “Were you there?” when talking to someone who believes in millions of years and molecules-to-man evolution. If someone replies by asking the same question, as you have done, we say, “No we weren’t there, but we know Someone who was there, Someone who cannot lie, who knows everything, and has always existed. And this One has revealed to us what happened in the past in His history book called the Bible. Are you interested in reading God’s history book to find out what the Word of One who was there tells us about the true history of the world?”
But I'm not quite sure how to add it into the article. Jack Hughes (talk) 10:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
I have it added as a source in there somewhere, but I'm sure we could find a place to quote it in the article itself. Anarcho Symphony Noise Swatting Assflys is how I earn my living 10:21, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
I've added it, but it could probably do with a better treatment. Scarlet A.pngsshole 11:45, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
