Talk:Hindu views on evolution

message: The section on Hindu opposition to Christian creationism includes a {main} article tag pointing to Californian Hindu textbook controversy.  I have commented this out, as I simply don't see the relation.  If I understand correctly, the Californian Hindu textbook controversy was about the textbook's portrayal of various alleged negative aspects of Hinduism and its past, e.g. the caste system, women's rights, etc.  What does that have to do with Christian creationism?? --Jaysweet (talk) 13:19, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  {main} article tag in section on Christian creationism 

message: The article mentioned that 
"In India, Hindus widely accept the theory of biological evolution. In a survey, 77% of respondents in India agreed that enough scientific evidence exists to support Charles Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and 88% of God-believing people said they believe in evolution as well."
According to those reference links, the survey consisted of about 1000 people max. Theres over a billion people in India. Is that wide acceptance of evolution??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.151.132.21 (talk) 17:15, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I pretty much corrected it, the sources were wrongly interpreted in that line, and agreed, no one in India denies this theory, neither they deny the 100% Hindu theories either. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:21, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

message: I've removed that again. We don't use stuff from the American Chronicle, and I note that the author (a geologist so not even qualified to discuss this) seems to have endorsed some sort of ancient astronaut idea.. There is also WP:UNDUE - what actually reliable sources link the boar with big mammals, Vamana with Neanderthals? I'll also note that a table like that is very eye-catching and impressive - which may be fine in some cases, but not when it's fringe. Dougweller (talk) 08:34, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I see. Vamana is simply regarded as Dwarf though. I have removed the recent added link too, because it wasn't RS either, neither related to this page. Bladesmulti (talk) 12:58, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

message: Most of this article seems to be off-topic; it's not about Hindu views on evolution, a concept developed in the 19th century, but about pre-19th century Hindu creation myths. What it should be about is how Darwin's theories were received within Hinduism, c.q. Hindu modernism, and how it shaped Hindu views of human development, that is, the idea that humans undergo a process of development and growth until they are liberated.

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. Though there was some early support for the move under the argument that the proposed title would be WP:CONSISTENT with :Category:Hinduism and evolution, the trajectory of the discussion reversed after it was shown that the current title is more WP:CONSISTENT with comparable articles in mainspace. It was also noted that the article content largely pertains to the views of individual Hindus rather than of Hinduism itself.
