Concerning Your Recent Edits[edit]

Please be aware that article talkpages are not for discussion of whether or not the article's topic is true or not because it runs contrary to your religious beliefs. The purpose of article talkpages are for discussion of how to improve the article. Talkpages are not soapboxes for you to use to spread your own personal opinions, and please do not spam your personal opinions over several talkpages, either.--Mr Fink (talk) 21:03, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not "Spread my own personal opinion." I declared that some parts of the article stated widely accepted theories as facts. If you cannot understand my full purpose, please do not comment.--Computerchippo (talk) 21:09, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you can not understand the warnings on the talkpage boilerplates against discussing any alleged controversies in evolution, then don't comment there.--Mr Fink (talk) 21:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maunus Described it in a very acceptable way: "I am sorry but this is an issue that has been argued extensively. Wikipedia presents evolution as fact, because in so far as there is such a thing as scientific facts, evolution is one. The reason we present evolution as fact is not because a majority believes it but because it is the only scientifically supported possibility. Please see Evolution as fact and theory.·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 15:53, 30 March 2012 (UTC)" The way you dealed with my comment was uncalled for.--Computerchippo (talk) 00:32, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just FYI, theory in a scientific context is much different than it is used by the masses. Evolution and gravity are examples of things that are both fact and theory. SÆdon ^talk 22:40, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi[edit]

No problem, thanks for writing back. I am not particularly religious myself, but I do realize that being so is not a kind of madness as some people often seem to. In this case it turns around the fact that the wikipedia standard of "fact" is generally academic and scientific. I hope you will stick around and perhaps contribute to areas that are less controversial. Best wishes. ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 00:54, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
