:::::I accept that there are many Christians who believe the atheistic origins myth which is contrary to the Bible.  I alluded to that in my previous comment.  But if a scientific model helps to understand how God's creation works ''regardless of when it was created'', how does it contradict young-Earth creation?  That sounds very close to the anti-creationist lie that creationists reject science.  And I've yet to see any ideas that contradict young-Earth creation that can justifiably be called a scientific theory.  Generally they are just-so stories about the past.  [[User:Philip J.

::::::The article as it stands appears to divide the world (or at least scientists) into "secular" and "Young Earth creationist", then document the tension between them. "Conservative" is not the same as "Young Earth Creationist", neither is "Christian". The title is "Permian", so that should be the focus of the article. The lead section should describe Permian without reference to any "side" of an argument. I think the first two paragraphs are neutral and accepted by all parties. The rest appears to be rather partisan. I think I'll have a go at cleaning it up. Please check that I don't misrepresent either side, but please try to avoid reinserting any bias or division I manage to reduce. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 10:39, 1 June 2007 (EDT)
