Creation science II

There are four currently active moderators on this board. Admin aka Percy, Admin Moose, Admin Nosy, and myself.You can use the reply textbox to add all the responding points you want to respond to in one go. When a debate is many-on-one, this is often the best way to avoid endless repetition.The only posts we delete are spam posts. The rest are usually left intact with the occasional post being hidden.If you do not like having a moderated debate you are in the wrong place. With all due respect: Go somewhere which has a format more suited to your tastes. Alternatively, you can learn to operate within the rules and the moderators won't have to keep interrupting things.You can use the word evolution in this thread. However, it is about the merits of creation, not the demerits of evolution. There are threads dedicated to criticizing evolution.I hope that helps. Do not reply to this post. If you wish to discuss it further email one of the moderators.

The word 'LIAR', when associated with a member of this board, creates more problems than it solves. Please avoid using it.By all means show that your opponent is incorrect.
By all means say that they are ignoring refutations.
By all means point out that they are repeating claims that are under debate without providing additional argumentation or evidence.Even if you think you can demonstrate entirely without any doubt that a member is intentionally saying things which they know to be false, don't use the term.Randman was particularly fond of calling his opponents liars and similar. Randman got permanently suspended.

Without express written permission, it is not only presumptuous, but also against the law to publish, copy, reproduce or plagiarize material from this Web site or any other and put it on your own Web site or anyone else's. This includes all pages, content, pictures, audio, video, code, etc. The same is true of posting it in a newsgroup or chat room.

I am deleting your material.

In light of the copyright issue, could you please edit your post so that it falls comfortably within fair use? I haven't the time to check how much you of the total page you ended up quoting, but I suspect it might be a significant percentage of the total work.Thank you.

Unless you have the permission of the author or whoever the copyright holder happens to be, which presumably both AiG and Christian Answers do have, reproducing the copyrighted work of somebody else is a copyright infringement. It doesn't matter if you tell us whose copyright you were infringing upon when you do it. Here is AiG's written policy:

quote:

---

Since we are constantly updating the articles on the website, we request that any reference to website published articles include no more than the first paragraph, and must include the ministry’s name and a link to our website, preferably to the actual article. Copying entire articles (other than the first paragraph) or materials to other websites is strictly prohibited; however, we encourage links to the article from your website.

Emphasis in original.For completeness, the original article is Creation magazine Volume 17, Issue 4, pages 14—16, Peter Hastie reproduced with permission at Aig and Christian Answers etc etc.

Please read the Rules

---

Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.

We don't play link 'volley ball' here. We debate. All members share responsibility over the quality of debate here at EvC. This thread is going sharply downhill. If your post doesn't improve the quality of discussion, consider that it might be contributing to its downfall and make the revolutionary decision to not post it.Do not respond to this post.
