A lot of the questions on here deal with evolution. Do you think is should have it's own category, maybe in science, or (and I think this would be fun) in R&S?

Yes Darwin, but it would be hilarious.

Murnip- the point of having it in R&S is because the only people who actually try to debate it do so from a religious point of view. You can't call the debate of evolution v. creationism a scientific debate. That was settled about a century and some change ago.

Ah, you're quite right in that regard. It would be furthering the delusion, wouldn't it?

If people seriously want to know about it, they should ask in the biology section. Having a section on it in R&S would imply that evolution is a religion, which would be no help to anyone.
That's true, but if people want to ask a question about something they don't know about evolution, it should be in the science section. I know it would be hilarious to see, but it would also imply that creationism and evolution are somehow on a par with each other

I will admit that this is a very good proposal. You are right that there are alot of questions stemming from the whole creation vs. evolution thought. Maybe under Science would be best, but then again maybe under R&S also. Could they make a link to the same section under two different "parents"? (Sorry, I dont know the correct lingo)
Maybe the topic could be Evolution vs. Creation, then no one would think that evolution (or creation for that matter) is a religion.
Filtering out those questions could give room for other thoughts and questions to arise. Setting EvC aside would not "parse logic out" but create a section for the "logic" to abound elsewhere while in R&S we discuss other matters.

atheists see no reason to bring a scientific subject into science. But, they are quick to post a violation to anyone who suggests it belongs in science, so I am amazed the question is still here.
Evolution and creation are two separate discussions, but atheists will never be able to see the logic in that. It destroys one of their prime attempts to ridicule others for their personal beliefs.

I'd like to see the creationist vs evolution debate moved into a separate category under "society and culture".
I don't think it belongs in either "science" or "religion".

There is a Biology section. It only ends up here because it disagrees with the old creation myths.

Wow, thats actually an interesting idea, one which should be followed. But it would really have to be in both sections. I mean, it is an area of science, but it seems to be discussed most in the R&S section, and it seems to be a case of weather or not you choose to believe it.
But its certainly an interesting idea.

Yet another attempt to parse logic out of the religious debate.

Evolution should really be in the science section. It was originally brought here by creationists.

LOL. It shouldn't be hard for Y!A to link it to both the Science and R&S pages.
The results could be amusing.

i think there should be a category called:
"evolution but not expecting a related answer" category
