Talk:Wedge strategy

Two audiences
I'd like to expand our coverage of how the ID movement (1) reveals the religious nature and purpose of their approach to one audience but also (2) denies that ID is in any way religious to another audience. One place to start would be the "designer". Does intelligent design begin with a premise that life began because it was created (as in Creationism) by The Creator (as in God)? Or does it simply argue that scientific observations lead us to the logical conclusion that cells and organisms show evidence of "having been designed"?

I'd like to see a list of quotations from proponentsists (hee, hee!) acknowledging and boasting about the religious basis of ID. This would look great alongside a similar list of denials, evasions, rationalizations, etc., as they try to promote ID as properly secular and academic - having no connection to Creationism.

To ID opponents, this is all obvious, perhaps, but I'd like to make it more explicit for the reader. --Uncle Ed (talk) 14:15, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Shouldn't Wedge strategy (diplomacy) be the main article?
It seems weird to me that "Wedge strategy" in the Creationism debate has the main article whereas the more widely understood "Wedge strategy" from diplomacy has the (diplomacy) in parenthesis. Shouldn't it be the reverse? Snooganssnoogans (talk) 14:56, 26 December 2021 (UTC)


 * I agree with you...I'm guessing that since Wedge strategy (diplomacy) is such a small and undeveloped article that that is the reason...but that doesn't mean it needs to stay that way.--- Avatar317 (talk) 01:52, 28 December 2021 (UTC)
