Changes
Evolutionism has nothing to do with the origin of the Earth, or of the Universe; wording should be changed to reflect that
I have no idea what [[culture wars]] means here, or "portrayed as". And what does the reference have to do with anything? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:13, 12 January 2008 (EST)
==Language inaccuracy==
Concerning the opening paragraph, it is incorrect. Evolution concerns, according to Evolutionists, only the evolution of lifeforms; it does not seek to answer the question "How did life appear", and, even less, the questions "What is the origin of the Earth" and "What is the origin of the Universe". Evolutionism has nothing to do with Earth or the Universe.<br/>
To clear things up: <br/>
[[Evolutionism]] is the non-religious theory about the development of lifeforms; <br/>
[[Abiogenesis]] is the non-religious field of study about how life can appear from inorganic matter; <br/>
There are several non-religious theories about the origin of the planet Earth and the Solar System; <br/>
[[The Big Bang Theory]] is the most famous non-religious theory about the origin of the Universe; <br/>
[[Creationism]] is the religious theory that encompasses the origin of man, life, the planet, and the Universe.<br/>
So, while you can use the word [[Creationism]] to describe both the creation of life, of man, and of the Universe, the word ''Evolutionism'', if you want to be accurate, should only be used in a biological sense. While it is true that most people who believe in Evolution also seem to believe in the Big Bang, the Theory of Evolution has nothing to do whatsoever with the origin of the Earth, or of the Universe, or even with the origin of life. Therefore, saying that the Creation vs Evolution debate "''concerns the question of how things came to be, including the universe, Earth, life, and mankind''" is incorrect. --[[User:LeonardO|Leo-from-UK]] 11:06, 2 July 2011 (EDT)
