“I was browsing through the Science Podcasts on iTunes today when I came across one entitled, ‘Today’s Creation Moment,'” Paul Pomeroy writes for Design @ AdaptiveView. “I’ve no delusions about changing any creationist’s mind here, but I do think that most other people still care enough about honesty — enough that if Apple were to hear from even a small percentage of them they would certainly see fit to return these Podcasts to their proper place. Please let Apple know that you think this set of Podcasts is in the wrong category. It’s not difficult to do: bring up the music store in iTunes, select Podcasts (below the ‘Choose Genre’ drop-down list on the left), select Browse, in the ‘Category’ list, select Science, scroll all the way down and look for ‘Today’s Creation Moment’ in the ‘Name’ column. To the right of the name is a circle with an arrow in it. Click on that. Right about in the middle of the screen you should see ‘Report a Concern.’ Click on that and on the following screen, let Apple know these Podcasts are ‘represented in the incorrect category.'”

no, they do not.
The world is flat too. And the Earth is the center of the universe.
Done.
It would sure help in finding what I’m looking for if it is in the right category. I never thought of looking for that particular podcast in sciences. what do they teach to you people these days.
No. It’s religion.
Perhaps a category for irrational delusional thinking?
Creation-ism
Race-ism
stuf like that.
Is there a pseud-science section? Stick this podcast with the astrology podcasts ( I assume they have these). Either that or in the fiction section with the conspiracy theorists!
I’ve done my part. Creationism is an easy mark though, are there any harder to spot Intelligent Design podcasts that I can complain about?
It’s just as scientific as evolution. Just ask God.
NO! You keep your religion out of OUR schools and I’ll let reality be excluded from YOUR church!
After looking at their website and a few of the transcripts, I would probably agree that it would best fit in the religion category.
However, I would also like to take a moment to point out that there are Creationist books, articles, and probably radio shows that WOULD fit in a science category. Why? Because they have to do with scientific research (just because it’s done by a Creationist doesn’t mean it can’t be science). So, people should be careful to consider the content before assuming it should or should not be in a particular category.
If God created the universe, who created God? Huh huh huh? Anyone??
A more interesting (or troubling depending upon your point of view) theory is that perhaps humans were indeed created, not by God, but by aliens. Perhaps they found a creature on Earth suitable for manipulation and turned them into a so-called intelligent creature (we think we’re soooo smart don’t we?) How else can you explain the 99% similar genetic makeup of apes and humans, yet they can’t steal cars and we do?
Evidence? You want evidence you say? Well, there’s that spaceship at Roswell….
MW=know. Ummmm, actually, no, we don’t.
They should not be in the Science category anymore than any other fairy-tale should be in the science category. Science vs. superstition…big difference!

I love that quote. Is that from somoene else or when I repeat it to everyone I know should I attribute it to you?
P.S. Safari has started remembering MDN magic words. that is sorta annoying, because the whole point of the magic word is that it changes all the time and therefore safari is always wrong.
“[Disclaimer: As usual, the opinions expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the positions of MacDailyNews or iPodDailyNews. We don’t can the worms, we just open them. Do not eat iPod shuffle.]”
Yeah, MDN would never let their own biases influence the stories. Guffaw.
First, if you don’t want to idealogical material to show up in the wrong place then take your anti-creationist crusade somewhere else. It doesn’t belong on this site.
I’ll also agree that creationism should fall under a religious category. No one would be aware of it except via the Bible and it is taken on faith that it is true. Obviously it is religion.
But, I don’t see that evolution is rock hard science either. It has huge gaping holes in it that can’t be explained. When it comes down to it either one shorts your brain out. Creationism takes you back to just God being there at the beginning, and then you ask where did God come from? ZZZZap, brain melt. Evolution says it all goes back to the big bang, but then what came before that and where did all that matter come from. . . ZZZZZap, brain melt again.
Don’t get too high and mighty and assume that evolution is science and creationism is pseudo-science. After all just a few hundred years ago the “experts” and “scientists” KNEW that the world was flat and that the sun and stars revolved around the earth. . . Mankind is just as cocky about their knowledge now and we know just as much. . . . very little.
Don’t worry, the creationist hokum will be out of the science section soon. I divined that from some sheep guts.
One could ask the question, ‘How much “true science” is in the theory of evolution?
I say that because ‘true science’ is a bit different than the constantly changing theories of how we got here, of which there are many. Many. Evolution? It’s still a theory if there’s no definitive ‘how’ in the equation, and there’s not.
That said, it’s more likely that ‘intelligent design’ podcasts could go into ‘science’ and ‘creationism’ (more general) would go into the religious category.
However, Apple’s been known to stir up the dust a bit. This gets them more publicity from both sides, or all 20-gazillion sides.

If the cast uses science to support the theory or disabuse evolution, then that’s fine.
Isn’t evolution just a THEORY? Then why would we let that in the science category but not Intelligent Design which is much more plausible?
perhaps moving it over to the “Fantasy” section would be an appropriate suggestion…

“Evolution says it all goes back to the big bang, but then what came before that and where did all that matter come from. . . ZZZZZap, brain melt again.”
The theory of evolution does not make a claim for the origin of the universe. It only explains the common descent of life. The Big Bang is in the realm of cosmology, astrophysics, and perhaps metaphysics–not biology.
Watchful-
Gravity is just a theory too, so perhaps if we choose not to believe it we’ll be able to fly
surely it should be in the comedy section…
Actually, I just don’t have enough faith to believe that everything accidentally created itself out of nothing – with no organization, no plan, no external energy input and no intelligent oversight.
I just don’t have enough faith to believe in the religion of science that says there is no God.
