Talk:Politics of creationism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The politics of creationism concerns efforts to change public policy in favor of creationism.

[edit] Rationale

Unnecessary Fork?

I don't think so, but then, I created it. The Creation-evolution controversy article rightfully focuses on the historical and philosophical/ideological debate, yet almost all of the introduction/summary in the beginning is about the political issue of today regarding public policy on teaching creation and evolution in public education. However, this topic is mainly covered in the last section of the article, as Ramifications of the controversy, and seldom mentioned in the main text.

By separating out the political aspects of the controversy in the new entry on the politics of creationism, the new entry can cover the ever changing political issues more in detail, allowing the Creation-evolution controversy article to progress faster towards stability.

All of the Ramifications of the controversy section from the Creation-evolution controversy article has now been moved to the politics of creationism entry. Terjen 05:25, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

History of the creation-evolution controversy now covers the historical aspects of the controversy, leaving the Creation-evolution controversy article to the philosophical debate and the Politics of creationism article to document the attempts on changing public policy.
