GRI: then & now

[edit]

I've finished summarising Numbers on the history of the GRI. What it really needs now is some reliable, third-party-sourced, information on the current state-of-play. HrafnTalkStalk 08:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a note

[edit]

The "institute" itself doesn't reveal itself as running religious propagandism. Instead it hides as an organisation for "paleontological research". Worse than I could have imagined from adventists — much more like the Jehovites. ... said: Rursus (mbork³) 10:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pseudoscience

[edit]

@Robynthehode: I had a few notes on my TODO/ISSUES list about this article, one which you just addressed, thank you. Another note I had: "specializes in the study ... does research", when it's probably more about promotion and apologetics (and not scientific research), then we have "hires PhDs" without more context. —PaleoNeonate13:25, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Article is referenced mostly by GRI citations. Knowing these type of organisations from other similar ones I would agree it is very likely to be more about promotion and apologetics. It may take a bit of digging to find appropriate sources that show this though so I only inserted 'pseudoscientific' so 'creation science' term doesn't confuse the casual reader. Probably be reverted at some stage though as various religious apologists seem hell bent on denying their religions are religious and not scientific. Good work by the way on the other articles you have edited re this subject. Robynthehode (talk) 14:48, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Robynthehode: a recent edit called this article to attention and although it's clear that it's YEC including some denialism, there's indeed no extant mention of pseudoscience. —PaleoNeonate21:12, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
