I want to register a complaint about this article, on three grounds. First, Ben, it hardly follows that, since "Christian mythology" is apparently fair game on Wikipedia (though you think is inappropriate--and I do too, on NPOV grounds), "scientific mythology" names a topic appropriate for an encyclopedia. In fact, I don't think we should have articles with either name. (I will shortly redirect them as I think is appropriate, since I suspect nobody else will feel bold enough to do so.) Second, as others have said, apparently, you misunderstand what "mythology" means. Myth implies falsehood; many stories you've listed might very well be true. Third, and this is most important: Wikipedia is not the place for original research! As far as I can tell, you have invented the concept of "scientific mythology" and are now stating your theory about it. (If I'm wrong, prove it.) That is not what Wikipedia is for! Hmm. I think a lot of people still don't understand this; I'm going to put an essay about it on Meta-Wikipedia. --LMS |
