:I think there are two issues here (1) Was the book "sold to the science fiction audience" (2) Even if it was, is the science fiction category justified based on the ''audience''? After all, the book was read by numerous scientists that criticized it; do we add the "science/scientist" cagegory? --[[User:Eric2009|Eric2009]] 09:59, 15 February 2009 (EST)

:: Agreed, except that you have the questions back to front in the sense that No. 2 needs to be answered first, and No. 1 only needs to be answered if No. 2 is answered in the positive. Personally, I think it should be answered in the negative. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 14:55, 15 February 2009 (EST)

==Religious Creationists==
1. I'm not familiar with the Religious Creationists view of Velikovsky, besides the one quote provided from Don DeYoung. Can you provide a few more references which support the consensus view?
2. I note we now have a Category:Creationism, which as far as I know, was never associated with Velikovsky. Is there a rationale? --[[User:Eric2009|Eric2009]] 15:13, 15 February 2009 (EST)
