Hello, The Sackinator, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Age of the universe does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the
NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the
New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{

While this isn't an appropriate discussion to have there, I felt I needed to respond to your "The Bible contains advanced scientific knowledge" claim and answer your question.
The Bible didn't "know" those facts; modern Creationists are reading those facts into the Bible. They are doing so in a highly selective fashion, proclaiming that the verses they like are meant to be taken literal whereas other verses in the same book and even the same chapter (which happen to make statements that they can't read as "scientific") are meant to be taken poetically. Bluntly: Creationists loudly insist that their reading of the Bible is plain, straightforward, and totally consistent--while cherry-picking as much as or more than any other interpretation of the Bible.
An excellent example is the ever-popular "Behemoth was a dinosaur!" Creationists like to claim that Job plainly describes Behemoth as a dinosaur. In so doing, they willfully ignore tremendous amounts of context and ignore what the verses actually say:
1. They claim that the Bible says Behemoth had a tail as big as a cedar. It says no such thing; it says his tail MOVED like a cedar. 2. They ignore the fact that it would have been anatomically impossible for a sauropod to eat grass like an ox; sauropods had neither the jaw articulation nor the teeth to do so. In fact, they needed a gizzard. "He eateth plants like a chicken" would be nearer the mark. Again, this is hand-waved. 3. They brush aside the fact that large portions of the description are CLEARLY poetic. (Drinking up entire rivers?) We are told that the verses THEY say are literal are, while the immediately adjacent verses are not. 4. They completely ignore the fact that the ancient Hebrews knew what Behemoth was: Midrash tradition tells us that he was the great ox, Shor Habar. Whatever happened to "reading the Bible as the original authors would have read it?" That seems to go right out the window when the original authors read it in a way that modern Creationists don't like.
Ditto for many of the "evidences" you cited. Creationists point to the fact that the Bible says the Earth is a circle, and say that it MEANS "sphere." This ignores the fact that the Hebrew word for "circle," chuwg, is NOT synonymous with "sphere." What happened to reading in context?
Please understand that I take Creationist arguments quite seriously--more seriously, in fact, than most Creationists. I don't just hear them and reject them. Nor do I just hear them and accept them. As 1 Thessalonians 5:21 teaches, I test everything and keep that which is good. Sadly, many Creationist arguments are not; they are questionable at best, outright dishonest at worst. -- BRPierce ( talk) 00:02, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I've found this whole discussion very interesting, but it is very un-Wikipedia-related. If either of you have anything more to add to this argument, please do so on another website. -- User J Dalek 04:34, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
I think your edit limiting educational institutions affiliated with churches of Christ recognizes one problem but causes another. There are of course institutions that are in some way "associated" with non-institutional churches (see Florida College [1] for example). I don't mean to claim that they "support" these institutions, but they do exist, and they do have a relationship. How can that relationship be recognized in a way acceptable to the "non-institutional" crowd? I thought affiliated was good...according to dictionary.com affiliated is defined as "being in close formal or informal association; related: a letter sent to all affiliated clubs; a radio network and its affiliated local stations.". Accordingly, can an institution not be "affiliated" with a "non-instituional" organization? In any case, I'm going to leave it to your inspiration for now...at the least, close the parentheses.

Yes, all the core content policies refer to the importance of secondary sources. Wikipedia:No original research in particular states "Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources. Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability and to avoid novel interpretations of primary sources." So you can use the primary source, but you also generally need a secondary source to show that this is something that is notable and not being given undue weight. If not for this, we could just put quotes from the whole book in the article. - Maximusveritas ( talk) 04:06, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi Sackinator.
In case you aren't aware, if you want to find out why someone made a particular change to and article or why an edit you made was undone, you can check for comments made in the 'edit summary'. You can view edit summaries by going to the article, then clicking the 'View History' link in the top-right corner. Beside most edits will be a short description of what was changed and why, often with a link to a relevant Wikipedia policy. Please take a look at this with regard to the recent edits on LittleBigPlanet to see why I changed the capitalisation of "Hub" back after your edit. Thanks.

Hi, I'm not sure how familiar you are with summary style, but the section in the Ben Carson article on political positions is supposed to be merely a summary of what's in the article titled political positions of ben carson. This is all spelled out in WP:Summary style. Also, especially when we discuss very controversial matters, it's best to use very reliable secondary sources rather than primary sources, blogs, YouTube, Facebook, editorials, et cetera. Cheers.
