This article is excellent, but I would like to know what sources the author used before I go in and editing. After all, perhaps he has better sources than I do. --Ashens 10:40 27 February 2007 (EST)
- The best reference to date is the review article "Baraminology -- Classification of Created Organisms", by Wayne Frair, Ph.D, Originally published in CRS Quarterly, Vol. 37, Num. 2, Sept. 2000. I have added this reference to the article. Dr. Richard Paley 14:09, 27 February 2007 (EST)
As someone well-trained in biology, I would be interested in more support for this theory, for instance, physical/genetic evidence. Thanks. Palmd001 11:20, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
- Physical/genetic evidence for what exactly? The article is about a classification system. Philip J. Rayment 07:48, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
- Physical/genetic evidence that the categories are meaningful distinctions, presumably. DrLib 17:41, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
