For some earlier talk, see Scientific Mythology/Talk.


While I understand your re-titling, I think it's a cop out. "Mythology" is a perfectly meaningful word, and while it is misused and ruffles some feathers, I think it's better to clarify its real meaning than to simply avoid it.

And besides, if we are going to cover mythology at all, how do we justify using the word for Greek, Roman, Sumerian, and other cultural and religious traditions and not for Christian, Hindu. scientific, or other cultures? The only difference, it seems to me, is there aren't any Sumerians around to complain. That's hardly a difference worth changing titles for. --LDC
