labelling as "pseudoscience"

The labelling as pseudoscience is not supported by the cited article, which does not provide an actual or multiple examples of the use of pseudoscience. Furthermore the cited article mixes up two examples for the use of pseudoscience. The article cited is not suitable to support the claim. 83.150.41.5 (talk) 14:03, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Which "cited article" do you mean? We have several sources for this ignorant claptrap being pseudoscience. --Hob Gadling (talk) 14:27, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Saint Helens

The 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens caused many prominent geological events which unfolded just as Creation science and catastrophism says they would. This is documented on YouTube by several different respectable sources. AAEexecutive (talk) 23:37, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Geological catastrophes happen, mainstream science does not deny it. However, creation science is pseudoscience. tgeorgescu (talk) 00:06, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube is not a reliable source. Dimadick (talk) 09:18, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. If you would like to get some reliable secondary sources that agree with the theory you set forth and add them to the article, you may. OverzealousAutocorrect (talk) 19:11, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
