:::::Oh, I see now. That must be some weird Australian way to write it. Americans should have no trouble understanding the clause if you put "so they reject these dates."--[[User:Conservateur|Conservateur]] 12:51, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

::::::Although I couldn't previously see anything grammatically incorrect, I'll now concede that it ''might'' be grammatically incorrect (i.e. I'm not, in this case, going to plead that it's an American/Australian difference, although that ''might'' be the case). I'm happy to change the wording to include the word "they", for added clarity if nothing else. Would you be satisfied with that change? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

Gentlemen, I've been staying out of this area a lot, but I offer one observation. We need to make the articles ''intelligible'' both to the 45 percent of Americans who believe that God created plants, animals and Human Beings in their present form around 10,000 years ago - as well as to the 50 percent who believe that life "evolved" (with or without God's help) over a period of millions of years.

:I have concluded that you are an old earth evolutionist. And from that basis I can predict with 95% certainty that you oppose mandatory school prayer.--[[User:Conservateur|Conservateur]] 14:06, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

:Ed, I believe that what you suggest is what is already being done in this and similar articles. I disagree with you mainly to the extent that I believe that the two different points of view do need to be ''mentioned'' in each such article, not just in one common place, although extensive discussion of the different points of view should be confined to one place.
