Note on Robert P. Murphy edits
Hey Horsecarrot. I reverted your good-faith edits on Robert P. Murphy regarding his (since renounced?) evolution denial (which is the term the community uses to describe an unequivocal rejection of the notion that human beings evolved from other species). I welcome your contributions to the community and hope you stick around to make some more, both on the Murphy piece and other pieces. However, reverting the (well-sourced) evolution denial claims isn't the way to go about it. Rather, you should cite the source that indicates Murphy is no longer a denier, and add that to the piece.


 * UPDATE: I misread your edit as reverting the entire Murphy entry on evolution; I apologize very much for that.. However, the source you cited to say Murphy's views have changed doesn't say that at all; he praises the work of evolution denier Michael Behe, claims Darwinists are "hilariously overconfident" in their worldview, and claims to literally believe Jesus walked on water (while believing, along with virtually all fundamentalist theologians that some elements of the Bible are metaphorical.) I encourage you to reread it. Steeletrap (talk) 08:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

I am a bit puzzled by your change regarding the claim about the amero. As Murphy wrote in the cited piece "remember that one of FDR’s first acts as president was to confiscate monetary gold held by U.S. citizens, under threat of imprisonment and a huge fine. Yet nowadays, that massive crime is described as “taking us off the gold standard” which “untied the Fed’s hands and allowed it to fight the Depression.” the same will be said in future history books, when they explain matter-of-factly the economic crisis that gave birth to the amero." That's pretty straightforward, so I don't know why you'd want to remove that. Steeletrap (talk) 08:09, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
