ITN
I just noticed that three of your nominations on WP:ITN/C were withdrawn. I want to recommend you go through the archives of ITN/C, to see what was brought up before, what made it to ITN and what didn't. Generally speaking fives types of events make it to ITN: major scientific breakthroughs, national elections, major sporting events, significant prizes/awards and incidents/tragedies/disasters. If you have any other questions about ITN/C, feel free to leave me a message. I see you are eager to help out, but I can imagine that withdrawing three nominations is not good for your motivation to continue. AecisBrievenbus 12:43, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your concern. At least we are not broadcast TV running the same few stories over and over again. One of my problems might be that I do not watch broadcast TV, nor do I read anything that requires a fee.
- What I am discouraged about is WP's hate articles, which seem to be controlled by a few editors - if that. I spent a lot of time on YEC and related articles that try to debunk Creation with science, but a line is drawn such that nothing more fundamental than biology can be referenced. That's very strange, because good mathematicians and physicists know we are dealing with some very fundamental and unresolved issues in time, complexity, and P=NP. I call these hate articles, because YEC = Amish is true and can't be referenced. (YEC = stupid) is the POV of the controlling editors. But that leads to Amish = stupid, and that is false to an extent that is hateful.

Creation and evolution in public education
"testable forces"
FYI, I've unhidden and weighed in on discussion you started, here. NCdave (talk) 14:20, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Dave - thanks. Those guys have greater editing skills than me, and I see you nailed a tag. I had no idea such a tag existed. Also, my attempts to insert Amish into the YEC article failed. My attempts to discuss the physics of time asymmetry anywhere these guys edit have also failed. I get gang banged. If one looks to money motivation, any chance these guys are part of a textbook lobby group? Anything that might change textbook content cost publishers a lot of money, and meatpuppets would be far cheaper. Doug Youvan (talk) 14:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Adolph Hitler edit
I don't know what weird angle you're coming from with this edit (maybe confusing fact and value?), but I'd be very interested in hearing how it has anything to do with the subject of the article. Richard001 (talk) 23:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- "It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. - Charles Darwin"
- P=NP ?
- Why someone would believe in Arthur de Gobineau's ideas of struggle for survival between the different races, among which the "Aryan race"—guided by "Providence" — was supposed to be the torchbearers of civilization?
- Are you certain those three problems can be solved by science? Doug Youvan (talk) 00:11, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Are you going to actually answer my question, or just serve me up more obscurantist, obfuscatory, trolling bullshit? Richard001 (talk) 01:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Please clarify "weird angle" and "trolling bullshit", as these are facts not in diffs.
- Just answer my original question please - how does your edit have anything to do with the article? If you continue to evade the question I won't waste anymore time on you. I'm well aware that question dodging is part of the arsenal of intelligent design creationists, as well as taking quotes out of context. Richard001 (talk) 01:42, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- That makes: "weird angle", "trolling bullshit", "question dodging", and "taking quotes out of context", all for pointing out that Hitler was a Darwinist - to an extreme that includes race - using a direct internal quote from WP. I would think our school children have a right to know this. Do you agree? Doug Youvan (talk) 01:59, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Right, now I can see where you're coming from. In future, don't try to add material that is so extremely distantly related to the topic at hand: Hitler was probably influenced by Christianity just as much as he was by social Darwinist thinking, and even that seems to result from confusing fact and value. Even if it was remotely related to evolution, it's not related to education anymore than it is to anything else; adults would benefit just as much as children would from reading it (if there were any benefit to be had). You might also want to read the bible, particularly the parts where God instructs people to commit genocide, then growls at them for not doing a complete job of it. Or if you want to learn something useful, try a biology text. Richard001 (talk) 03:12, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

- I tried to fix this yesterday, too, and could not find the image. Now, as a result of the attention to this page, the administrative editor who blocked me (User:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise) deleted the image. See his claims about copyright violation being obvious. The image originally came from Kairos Scientific Inc., where I am a 50% shareholder as a tenant-in-common with Mary. M Yang, my ex-wife. I took the picture and wrote the text. If she wants to give it to NASA, that's OK by copyright law. If I want to deposit it on Wikipedia, that's lawful under US copyright, too. The laws are directly analogous to physical property co-owned by two people: Either person can invite a guest on to the property. Doug Youvan (talk) 14:20, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
ITN/C
Hey, man. I don't think you understand what exactly it is we do at ITN/C. The first time was fine, since you didn't know any better, but you are not welcome to make proposals without offering a proper blurb. I repeat: Do not continue to drop random subjects off at the ITN/C page without at least formulating them into a proper blurb. It doesn't help discussion and it wastes time and space. -- Grant.Alpaugh 08:01, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Your tactics of misrepresenting normal opposition to your disruptive editing by fellow wikipedians as "threats of violence" [9] is completely bogus and shows that you are acting either in bad faith, or have a seriously impaired sense of reality.

These guys have never met an intelligent Creationist, and they are reacting as if they were Islamic Jihadists and I was defaming Mohammed. They are anti-YEC, and their Mohammed is Darwin. I fear for my life, mainly because of my dependent child.

Jimbo: Stay on course
In March 2008, Richard Branson hosted an environmental gathering at his private island, Necker Island, in the Caribbean with several prominent entrepreneurs, celebrities, and world leaders. They discussed global warming-related problems facing the world, hoping that this meeting will be a precursor to many more future discussions regarding similar problems. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales, and Larry Page of Google were in attendance.

"Testable Forces?"
[Off topic discussion removed from Talk:Creation and evolution in public education per WP:TALK#Others' comments: "Deleting material not relevant to improving the article" HrafnTalkStalk 13:13, 26 April 2008 (UTC) ] From the Article:
"The teaching of religious doctrines, such as Creation Science and Intelligent Design, relies upon an understanding of and belief in the supernatural. This is in direct opposition to the principle that science can only use natural, reproducible, testable forces to explain phenomena. This could lead to the disabling of students' abilities to develop the critical thinking skills necessary for all scientists."
What is a testable force in Darwinian Evolution and / or the Big Bang? The time scale is too great for a test, and there are only a few known forces in Nature as described by physics. Do you mean to imply some kind of Evolutionary Force, not known to physics?-50MWdoug (talk) 17:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- Go read a text on evolutionary biology, cosmology or particle physics. And please stop asking inane questions. Oh -- and I reverted your other two new sections as being completely off-topic, per WP:TALK. HrafnTalkStalk 18:22, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- There was a time in debate when people helped each other, so please see: Stuart_Kauffman#Publications to aid your viewpoint. Kauffman is probably the best at putting forth ideas about a force that is behind complexity. His math and physics are excellent. Prigogine describes the non-equilibrium, irreversible, and open thermodynamic systems that have mass and energy transfer that generate some simple types of order. You might also want to look into Genetic Algorithms, a computational technique that utilizes point mutation, cross-over, and recombination of strings. Evolutionary biology requires solid biophysics, and without a molecular mechanism, one is left with Vitalism. I think it is important for school kids to know that math and physics are the basis of chemistry and biology, whether the topic is evolution or something simpler. We need more editors here so that WP does not look biased. - 18:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nukeh (talk • contribs) 50MWdoug (talk) 19:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- A comment which begins with a quote from the article, and asks a question about it, is not off-topic. NCdave (talk) 03:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, evolution is testable, has been tested, and is confirmed. However, this IS off-topic. This article is about the political conflicts regarding creation and evolution in public education. It is NOT about the testing of evolution by science, and it definitely is not about the "physics of order". --Robert Stevens (talk) 08:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Baegis & Hrafn, please stop hiding discussions of this article.
- Robert, Baegis & Hrafn, the topic is a sentence in the article. There are no sentences in the article which are "off-topic" for discussion on the article talk page. Regardless of whether or not the article should discuss any topic, if it does discuss that topic then it's germane to the article Talk page.
- 50MWdoug asked a very reasonable question: what is a "testable force" (since that term is used in the article). He didn't deserve to be personally attacked for it ("Go read a text on evolutionary biology, cosmology or particle physics. And please stop asking inane questions.").
- To the best of my knowledge, the term "testable force" is not widely used in the fields of evolutionary biology, cosmology, and particle physics. If anyone here knows where it is used and what it means, then please enlighten those of us who don't.
- Also, the confusing "testable force" terminology is not that paragraph's worst problem. A second problem is that it calls ID a "religious doctrine." That's an editorial comment promoting the POV that ID is more about religion than about science. But, even if you agree with that POV (and I don't), and whatever you think of ID, it is very obviously not a religious doctrine. A religious doctrine is:
- religious doctrine. n. The written body of teachings of a religious group that are generally accepted by that group.[10]
- ID doesn't in the least resemble that definition.
- Also, the confusing "testable force" terminology is not that paragraph's worst problem. A second problem is that it calls ID a "religious doctrine." That's an editorial comment promoting the POV that ID is more about religion than about science. But, even if you agree with that POV (and I don't), and whatever you think of ID, it is very obviously not a religious doctrine. A religious doctrine is:
- A third problem is that the paragraph goes on to say, very provocatively, that teaching ID or creationism "could lead to the disabling of students' abilities to develop the critical thinking skills necessary for all scientists." Translation: "people who believe in God can't think critically."
- That's untrue, there's no reliable source given for it, religious insults like that are forbidden on Wikipedia, and it reads like a deliberate stick-in-the-eye directed at Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy.
- Can we all agree that this horrid paragraph should simply be deleted? NCdave (talk) 10:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
'Testable forces' refers to testability. The paragraph could probably use some work. On the doctrine matter, I wouldn't deny that ID and CS are 'religious doctrines' in the sense the writer meant, but religious doctrine probably isn't the best word. That they are both born from the assumption that there is a (single) God is not something that anyone would deny. Richard001 (talk) 10:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- The concept of testability/falsifiability in science does not refer to the testing of "forces," it refers to the testing of "theories."
- ID does not say anything about how many Gods there are, and the existence an intelligent designer (or designers) is not an assumption, of ID, it is a conclusion, resulting from observation of things that appear to be intelligently designed. In the same way, if an unmanned alien spacecraft were to land on the Whitehouse lawn, we would conclude (not "assume") that some intelligent alien race had created it, from having seen the alien race's handiwork. NCdave (talk) 13:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- I suppose you could say the existence of a designer is a 'hypothesis' rather than an assumption (though if the ID crowd don't get the results they want we needn't doubt they'll fiddle the data). That there could be more than one Gods isn't something I've ever heard an ID proponent say, ever. If there is a designer it is a single designer, specifically the Christian God. That is what they are trying to prove, after all! Richard001 (talk) 12:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
