A link to the message, and perhap a SHORT comment would also be nice. But, this is NOT a place to debate the referenced topic - so be nice.I think that a fairly liberal use of this topic would be a good thing for indexing some nice messages that are otherwise doomed to be lost in the clutter. So, if you encounter a message that seems to say something of special substance, please give it a plug/reference in this topic.New year, new month, same old message and routine,

Post #: 64Percy's post is very well written, very informative, and very easy to understand, well easy for most of us to understand. Could Buz be after this 'kind'? Who knows?Brian.

Post #: 64As noted above. I need nothing more to say. Percy does an excellent job of describing evolutionary biology.[This message has been edited by JIM, 01-04-2004]

Thread: Why I am a Zionist
Post #: 33A short message that really hits the spot. It sums up nicely how some people will accept anything, even murder, if it looks as if it is going to support their particular fairytale.{Added the "33" to the URL, so that the link will go directly to the message - AM}[This message has been edited by Adminnemooseus, 01-04-2004]

Thread: For whatever - your insult, and radioisotope dating
Post #: 3This is just the most recent Bill Berkeland geology related posting, once again with fine inclusions of links and other references.I'm starting to think that Bill deserves an index topic of his own.For now, people can go to the sites search utility, and "search by member" for "Bill Berkeland".Moose

Post #: 16A newcomer posts a nice "Christianity and Evolution can get along" type message.Moose

Is it possible to consider a Post Of The Year? I suggest this be pulled from the POTMs and each person gets one vote or maybe, better, a ranked list of top 3 or 5 votes and we can spend a month or two arguing over how to process that data, . That will be fun if the other discussions get too slow.

Common sense isn't

I like this idea, though perhaps one POTY is a little restrictive.There could be a POTY for each main topic area... kind of like categories at the Academy Awards.Or there could just be a POSTERS of the Year, with congrats going to the three members who have the most nominations.Just throwing out some ideas to make it all the more complicated. Heheh.

What about a topic of the year, or a topic of the year from each forum!Brian.

Thread: PROOF against Evolution
Number: 159A brilliant, reasoned and exceptional polite explanation of why DNA similarities are compelling evidence of evolution.

Thanks Jack for nominating that post. I probably would have missed it otherwise.I think it was an excellent post, putting certain things into a perspective I had not considered, and I will most likely steal it for future use.So I second the nomination.

Jeon found that the nucleus of the amoebas could not live without the once pathogenic bacteria.

Not at all sure how this fits into the greater context, but I thought this little detail on the evolution of a symbiotic relationship between amoeba and bacteria was an interesting touch.MooseAdded by edit: See message 88 also.[This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 01-20-2004]
