→"Evolutionary View"
I propose we rename this section the scientific or natural view. Evolution has nothing to do with the creation of the earth hence that would be like having the "Gravitational view on the age Egyptian pyramids". Evolution is about the diversification of life. {{unsigned|Glorfon}}

: It is not the "scientific" view; different scientists have different views. And "evolution" does not just refer to biological evolution. Have you never heard reference to things like the evolution of stars? [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:21, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

:: There really isn't much debate in the scientific community about how the earth formed. You're right that evolution can refer to any gradual change but I don't think we should call this section the evolutionary view because it could mislead people to associate it with the theory of evolution. Would calling it the natural or uniformitarian view be too bad?
