[edit] Atheistic Creationism

Article represents one person's philosophy, rather than a genuine movement or school of thought. Article is also nonsensical, as creationism refers to theories regarding theistic cosmological origins.Rohirok 01:12, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Neologism, personal essay, original research. Note that no source citations are given that would suggest any significant use of the term or the concept. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Originally researched essay. Amren ^(talk) 01:48, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. From a google, there seems to be something out there, though insignificant. Tintin 02:02, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I also did a google. There were plenty of articles with "atheistic" and "creationism," but I found only two links, both to the same very brief personal essay, that contained "atheistic creationism." Interestingly, the essay revision is dated July 1 of this year--the same as the Wikipedia article and the 3 revisions made by Bokkibear. I suspect Bokkibear is one and the same as Chris Richard Harter (AKA Chris Harter, AKA C. Richard Harter), and that this "atheistic creationism" is his own pet idea. Are there any articles on the subject by other authors, or any scholarly apologies reconciling creationism with atheism?Rohirok 03:07, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I am still not sure. Raëlism page says that they believes that scientifically advanced extraterrestrials created life on Earth through genetic engineering. If this is a belief that is followed by many and atheistic creationism is the only term that correctly describes it, we may keep this page. Alternately, redirect as suggested by AxSkov is also fine.

• Delete. I googled. Looks like a neologism that numerous people have concurrantly come up with, usually as a joke. I see no reputable sources that use the term. Thus, as a neologism, it needn't be on wikipedia. Fieari 04:45, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Raëlism. – AxSkov (☏) 07:21, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete after reading the Raëlism page, I do not think it could be correctly called atheist. They believe all the prophets of the religions were sent by the Elohim, aliens they look upon like Gods, furthermore they believe their leader Rael, to be a prophet of the Elohim. I think they could be called a religion. --Revolución (talk) 13:01, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. As per Geogre. / Peter ^Isotalo 13:09, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment also if this helps, the Raëlism article states that Rael applied for tax exempt religious status when he immigrated to Canada. --Revolución (talk) 13:22, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect To Flying Spaghetti Monster if we keep this article at all. Gotta love that monster... Karmafist 13:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Although Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is obviously a joke and its main "followers" are actually atheists, it still qualifies as a religion (in this case joke-religion), because the Flying Spaghetti Monster is regarded as a deity. --Revolución (talk) 13:57, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Ancient astronaut theory. Alf ^melmac 19:01, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
