Talk:J. Laurence Kulp

Not dead yet?
Laurence Kulp is not dead. According to the New York Times this morning (February 2, 2008) he has just resigned his position at the NAPAP.


 * He resigned days after the acid rain report was published in 1987. See New York Times Dec 31, 1989
 * Please recheck your source and post reference. The ASA did produce an obituary in Feb 2007  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Another berean (talk • contribs) 09:47, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


 * So, we have a dispute between Old Kulp Decompositionalists and Young Kulp Vivisionists! 11:32, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Kulp and Old Earth creationism
The lead currently states: "He was a prominent advocate in creationist circles in favor of an Old Earth and against the pseudoscience of flood geology." with "Old Earth" linking to Old Earth creationism.

These claims don't appear to be substantiated by the section on 'Criticism of flood geology'. I am therefore changing this to "in American Scientific Affiliation circles" and linking "Old Earth" to Age of the Earth, to avoid making an unsubstantiated claim of Kulp's ties to OEC. If sources explicitly supporting Kulp's creationism can be found, then it can always be changed back. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 13:27, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There was nothing amiss in calling Kulp a creationist. As Christians all members of the ASA pledge as much. Check:
 * A POSITION ON CREATION from the The Creation-Views of ASA.
 * "We Believe in Creation". Richard H. Bube. JASA 23:121-122 (1971).

It might help if you actually read the documents you cite:

That is hardly an unequivocal statement that all ASA members are creationists. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 15:07, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
