List of books on non-evolutionary explanations for the diversity of life

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Very incomplete list of books, with very broadly described subject. The division looks like evolutionary books vs the rest. Orphaned article (only 1 link from main space) Lukasz Lukomski (talk) 02:25, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment: Where is the Iroquoi creation theory? They hypothesized that the earth was created on the back of a turtle.--Milowent (talk) 03:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * this is not a list of creation myths.Mercurywoodrose (talk)
 * coulda fooled me.--Milowent (talk) 11:15, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete i suspect that most of these books dont fully deny evolution. title of article is too vague, inclusion criteria may be impossible to define. is this books which question some aspect of evolution, all of it, books by religious fundamentalists or skeptical/fringe scientists? both? awkward. darwins black box author does NOT deny evolution, just questions whether evolution can fully explain biochemical change/diversity. this may be a hatrack type list.

 * Delete It's synthesis (WP:SYNTH), as the title of the article itself is an analysis of the contents of the books - and I think it's an inaccurate analysis of at least some of them -- Boing!   said Zebedee  06:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per previous two comments andy (talk) 11:07, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Aside from the suggestive title and other mentioned problems, it's also largely a fork of List of works on intelligent design. — Rankiri (talk) 14:23, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Not that the topic of non-evolutionary explanations isn't notable, but Wikipedia is not a directory and it's not a reading list either. This can be part of the bibliography of one of the creationism articles. Mandsford (talk) 18:35, 20 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete synthesis in the form of an indescriminate list. Unmaintainable RadioFan (talk) 20:22, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
