Talk:Urmonotheismus

message: I must admit I'm more than a little concerned about the sourcing for this article:
*A fifty-year old German-language journal article is more than a tad inaccessible, making it problematical as a general reference -- as even if you could get your hands on it, a non-fluent-German reader would have difficulty browsing it to see where it says what.
*I don't think an Biblically-inerrant Christian apologetics article, with a fairly partisan tone is a WP:RS for what should be an anthropological article.

replies: text: Taking a closer look, I don't think the available coverage is too slim (see e.g. this, which has some good material). The questions would seem to be (i) whether to call this article 'Urmonotheismus' or 'Primitive Monotheism'. Both seem to have usage, so I'd favour the latter as being English-language. (ii) Whether to base it primarily on the 1958 German article, or on more accessible, but perhaps less authoritative, English sources (again, I'm Anglophile). (iii) Whether to retain the Geisler material (I'm against it, as being too obviously partisan, without a secondary source to analyse it). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 12:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

message: from the Narmer pallette (c. 5,000-4,000 bc) to most all temple designs from stonehenge (2,500 BC to first Indonesia major temples and those in Europe, Egypt, China, Yucatan (Maya), Camboddian, and so he whole globe is the same overall patterns, designs written in stone for all to see, q.v. and those establish firmly monotheism from the earliest days and so primitive monotheism as the global norm, which did then degenerate to be reformed again; and of course, the decades of "now proven" refutation of this norm is all the drivel which reps as academe ...

replies: text:  and add a footnote and of course, those patterns rep not only that ancient clear understanding of monotheism from those earliest days, THEY also rep the THEN (5,000 BC plus) clear understanding of astro -physics of all creation, the creation model / machine (and note no present day understanding yet of any of this but those 7,000 ancients KNEW all that THEN) q.v. (note the source for these accurate conclusions are all those temples in stone and their patterns which have always had all that info preserved for all mankind but never understood at all by those hi scholars of that academe, aris totil joans IIIIII 7 tils now 23:03, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

message: In History section it says "It was first defended by Wilhelm Schmidt (1868–1954), in his". First? were there others because I can only see him mentioned in the article. Defended? from who, there is no info on anyone challenging it before this statement, so maybe supporting (Primitive Monotheism, while opposing the Revolutionary Monotheism) would be better. --PLNR (talk) 03:40, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Minor wording issue 

message: Only judeo-christian monotheism is discussed, no mentions of zoroastrianism and its recognition or even egyptian episode with monotheism as currently understood by scholars, the page should be renamed original monotheism as understood by christians  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.173.48.160 (talk) 08:09, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
