Removing Creationism

[edit]

I feel creationism should be removed from the list for two reason: 1. It has not been disproven nor has evolution (its competing theory) been sufficiently proven that it can be considered a law. It is still in the theory state. 2. Listing creationism as an obsolete theory is biased in favor of evolution. Bias is prohibited by Wikipedia. - 3/23/13 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.22.176.14 (talk) 05:18, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at its guidelines, Wikipedia is based on neither "feelings," personal religious beliefs, nor fringe sources. Instead, it is based upon published sources, which according to Wikipedia standards are credible and reliable. There exist an enormous number of such academic sources that conclude that creationism has been soundly disproved and discredited to the point that it qualifies as an obsolete biological theories.

Except that it hasn't been 'soundly disproven', and there are just as many published sources and credentialed scientists who are willing to attest to the shortcomings of Darwinism and to what the evidence may really say, that it might just well fight the Bible's view better. It isn't just 'personal feelings or religious beliefs or fringe sources'. People should stop denying that the debate exists and that the controversy isn't over. The first poster is right, the article needs to be removed as it is not obsolete. It belongs in a disputed theories category. The real problem is that Wikipedia, despite its claims of neutrality, is indeed liberally biased due to the beliefs of its creators. It isn't really 'neutral POV' at all.
