long rant
:First of all, if you have evidence that all or even most of the OOParts that I have catalogued in the article are ''not'' out-of-place according to [[uniformitarianism]], then I invite you to show it, not just post Talk, Talk, Talk.

==Clarity==
I was unable to evalute this article with my usual quick glance. This bothers me. :-(
I like articles which make sense, right from the start. This article, on the other hand, gives a superficial definition, cites dozens of examples, and then drifts into a vague discussion.
How about a comparison with the [[argument for design]] in [[Intelligent Design]]? If something is found which seems "out of place" in the sense that erosion or mutation seems unlikely to have "put it there", this would seem to indicate that someone or [[God|Someone]] put it their by [[choice]].
I'm confused by this article, as I can't tell what point it's making. And if it *is* making a point, why isn't it labeled as an essay? Or presented as the POV of some particular author (or [[school of thought]])?
Argument by article is not what we are about here, are we? (Other than in article exposing [[liberal bias]] in politics and academia, of course.) --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 10:59, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
