This as a purely scientific theory.^[1] I assure you, it is. It makes no claims as to what deity or why things were created. One goal is to provide a theistic "plug-in" if you will, to science. The topic of deity only comes up in explaining the various histories of beliefs relating to science and the goals that each denomination has had throughout history. Also, many times evolutionist naturalists will smear this as not scientifically testable, but that is also flatly incorrect. The overarching theory is similar to one of evolution, but many of the smaller theories are in fact completely verifiable (ie. irreducible complexity is an example--my college biology textbook even has reference to irreducible complexity--the original theory was formulated by an ID advocate). There are so many flatly incorrect and/or inaccurate statements on this page it's infuriating...

Notice of discretionary sanctions

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you that sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

What DS mean

Briefly, discretionary sanctions (see link above for what that means exactly) means that administrators can take action against editors who violate Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and other standards of behavior. While we understand that everybody needs to time to learn them, it is every editors' responsibility to learn them. Every time you save an edit in Wikipedia you agree to the Terms of Use, which obligate you to abide by community policies and guidelines. If you are here, you are a Wikipedian.

The welcome message I provided above, has links to material to orient you to the policies and guidelines, which govern both content and editor behavior.

If you add all that up, it means go slow, and keep in mind that there is a great deal you need to learn here. Good luck. Jytdog (talk) 06:34, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
