Talk:Evolution (metaphysics)

message: This needs to be verified if it is to be re-inserted:
:Created by Charles Darton in 1935, this theory describes how everything evolved. The mutations in the universe contribute to this, meaning that the DNA in anticodons have little acid thus resulting in evolution. This theory also describes why bugs can't talk, and why humans can do to a genetic mutation in the cytosine of RNA, on the rim of the double helix shape of the DNA. It was proved right by Kylee Tripoli in 1939.

There is a problem with this page, and apparently others having to do with "integral thought." It seems that this new age movement has a lot of interesting ideas which they are hesitant to call religion. This page and perhaps some others seem to portray these religious beliefs (which are just fine to have btw!!)  as not religious. The whole thing is getting mish-mashed together as if THIS is what philosophers have to say about evolution. It's not.
This page would more properly be titled "Evolution (integral thought)"

replies: text: I noticed that Involution (philosophy) was recently moved to Involution (metaphysics). Perhaps this is a good compromise between religion and philosophy. Note that in the Wikipedia article on Metaphysics, Religion and spirituality falls in the middle of the list of subjects that fall under the heading Central questions of metaphysics.

thread_title:  Philosophy v Religion 

message: Oppose move.  I'm not very knowledgeable on this particular subject.  However, there's no inherent contradiction between "religion" and "philosophy," and this page clearly deals with philosophy.  Whether or not it also qualifies as a kind of "faith," or "religion" doesn't sufficiently argue in favor of the proposed move.  Also, calling something "philosophy" is not the same as claiming it is science, legitimate, "proven," or that it is embraced by academia.  A great many of history's philosophers were deeply involved in spiritual matters, many of their beliefs or theories have either been disproven, or discredited by academia, and the ones whose writings are studied in philosophy class are generally the ones who are seen as having influenced world thought, or represented a significant aspect of world thought, regardless of the legitimacy of their claims.  Those whose writings were later seen as minor contributions, or were hardly influential on world thought may not be taught in universities today, but they were never-the-less "philosophers" too.  "Philosophy," therefore, seems the perfect lable for this, whatever your perspective on the subject may be.  Only the future can tell whether this will remain in any way notable.zadignose 01:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
