accredited schools[edit]

My recent change to the biography regarding "accredited schools" relates specifically to the Institute for Creation Research (yes, it is an accredited graduate school) and to other institutions such as Biola University (whose staff is composed of scientists from various points on the creationism-naturalism spectrum.--eleuthero 21:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is science. Accreditation means nothing, especially when reading that the founder of Institute for Creation Research was on the board of directors of its accreditator. ErRe 03:46, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no spectrum in that regard. Either you accept naturalism as a logical limit to scientific inquiry, or you don't. - Roy Boy ⁸⁰⁰ 19:14, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Book Review[edit]

There was a section (titled "Criticism") which was a review of Whitcomb and Henry C. Morris' book titled "The Genesis Flood". Seeing as it was a book review, I moved the content to The_Genesis_Flood:_The_Biblical_Record_and_Its_Scientific_Implications#Reception. Kdulcimer (talk) 14:32, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that this removes the only third-party coverage that was in this article. Further, the source in question, AiG is clearly a questionable source, so its use as the sole source violates WP:ABOUTSELF. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 14:41, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you believe this issue is now resolved? I see that there are 6 sources cited now. As far as AiG is concerned, the only claim cited to them is if John C. Whitcomb works for AiG or not. AiG says he does, and I see no cause to call them an unreliable source on who their own employees are. Kdulcimer (talk) 16:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
