 ::::This is cut and paste from my talk page, to put the above in context   

 :::::At the moment there aren't sufficient references in the Fossil article, in fact the references on this talk page are much better. I noticed you deleted a reference I added earlier to the creationist bit. The reference had some relevance, but didn't cover all of the information. Could you advise if there were any reason that I could be unaware of concerning your reversion of my edit? Addhoc  

 :::::Please take your comment to the Talk:Fossil page where I explained the removal right afterword. Regarding references, I've been working on new expanded narrative for this page for more than a month; I've used more than a dozen references that will be cited. Your insertion was not a reference since it pertains to religious beliefs, not fossils. Your reference has nothing to do with fossils, and was not used by the author of the sentence.Likearock  

 :::::Ok, I have replied on the talk page. Obviously, very pleased to hear you are working on putting references into the article. Could I suggest you don't use the word ""religion"" to imply the ""Abrahamic tradition"", ""Christians"" or ""creationists"". A citation to the Washington Times supporting copy could be a reference, even if it pertains to creationists. The sentence was developed by several users including me, but I agree at that stage we didn't include a reference. Addhoc  

 ::::::May I suggest that you develop the topic more completely in a separate section? I, for one, think the topic belongs elsewhere, but let's let the wiki vetting process work as it should. Unfortunately, the fossils page is a magnet for vandalism. There you can cite appropriate references that argue a religious interpretation of the fossil record, or better yet, how different religions view fossils. This page is an an overarching page that should briefly describe subjects related to fossils and provide links to other wikipedia pages that develop the topic more completely. References should never be so haphazardly inserted in any scientific writing. "
