Talk:Evolution
From Conservapedia
Student Panel's Decision
After much debate, the Conservapedia Panel has finished reviewing the Theory of Evolution page. We have determined that the article will remain protected indefinitely, to protect it from inevitable vandalism. We have decided that the article will not be changed in any major way. However, we agree that the article lacks an adequate, concise explanation of the Theory of Evolution. Those who wish to assist in improving this article should submit proposed changes to the panel for review. We also realize the article is in need of revisions to areas containing problems with grammar and style and appreciate your help correcting this. The Panel apologizes for the long delay in this decision. Thank you for your patience. Please submit any further issues to the panel at User talk:CPanel, and we will do our best to resolve them.
Sincerely,
The Conservapedia Student Panel --User:CPanel
The Panel regarding a concise definition of the theory of evolution:
- The article has been improved significantly since we began working on this issue. Some of the Panel may not be aware of these changes. They have been contacted, and after they give their opinions, we will post the results here. ~ CPanel 18:41, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

Evolution not evidentially based and evolution as a social construct
Given that there is no real evidence for evolution, I have decided to put together material for an upcoming Conservapedia article some of which will be incorporated into the evolution article which will partly reveal why there are so many Theories of evolution. The material I have gathered so far and am in the midst of fact checking is here: User:Conservative/EvolutionAsSocialConstruct The article will be given the title: Evolution as a Social Construct. I thought it would be a complementary article for Conservapedia's article: Causes of Atheism. conservative 01:17, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
Quick Question...
I understand other points of view on evolution, and I've looked at the archive of this talk page, so before I open my mouth, I have a question: This article, as well every other article on this wiki, is supposed to represent THE conservative point of view on evolution? We all must acknowledge that different conservatives may know more or less than others, but their collective opinion is supposed to be presented in this article. Am I correct?

- Please show us that the evolutionary position is a conservative position. You can start with the early church fathers and Moses. :) conservative 03:17, 15 June 2009 (EDT)
- Well, "THE" evolutionary position ISN'T a conservative position, all the conservatives I know and this page make that pretty clear. You know what, now that I think about it, I think this page is all good and representative of that standard, then. The numerous improvements I would suggest would not be appropriate for this wiki, because most conservatives don't know about them. I think the best thing I can do is support public knowledge of such topics elsewhere. If conservatives know about said suggestions, then said suggestions and conservative commentary would be appropriate. I have nothing to add to this article. Good luck on the article and God bless.

Irrational?
"Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic".[242]"
This isn't irrational, it's actually a valid comment on the scientific method. Science by definition searches for naturalistic explanations, if someone was able to propose a supernatural explanation (even if it were true) it would be outside the domain of Science. Again, this has nothing to do with "true vs. false" ie, "god created life" may be true, but if it can't be verified naturally it isn't science. Cheers Tim111 22:03, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
- Tim, please give a fairly exhaustive listing of definitions of science with the attending sources. Second, please do elaborate on why a valid definition of science would result in all physical data pointing to conclusion being ignored as I rightfully believe that claims should be adequately supported. conservative 03:19, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
Article appears to be non-neutral
I'm a conservative in most ways- but I do have a quick question- why does this article take God and Evolution and make them mutually exclusive? Evolution says nothing about God not existing- indeed- I cannot imagine a way that we could form without god's intervention. I support a theory known as guided evolution- where that while species did evolve and change overtime- god oversaw the whole process, guiding it into new directions. Just a thought. God bless! --Rockstone 22:17, 17 June 2009 (EDT)
- Rockstone, you failed to provide any evidence for your hypothesis of guided evolution. conservative 03:11, 22 June 2009 (EDT)
