Meert / Brown Debate

Hi, Whatever!Congratulations on getting noticed by moderators recently. This just caught my attention: And then after a thorough rebuttal from JonF you reply: This is an example of something you do a lot: get simple facts completely wrong. You also seem to make many elementary logic errors. Most posts to you seem to involve correcting your "facts" and your "logic".No administrative action is indicated because I believe you're sincerely doing the best you can, but I would at least like to request that you periodically do a self-assessment and ask yourself whether the quality and content of your posts is improving over time, and whether you're becoming better able to research an issue (such as whether Walt Brown's site references the Bible) and come up with the right answer. After all, you won't be able to explain to others why current scientific views on evolution and geology are wrong if you don't know anything about them.

Hi, All!Looks like I was late to the party - Adminnemooseus suspended Whatever for 24 hours starting yesterday around noon ET. Whatever seems to have caught the attention of Adminnemooseus, NosyNed, Asgara and myself.Whatever: your lack of knowledge and familiarity on these topics combined with your inability to contribute rationally is causing lots of frustration. We understand your obvious concern that the wrongheaded scientific ideas about evolution and geology must be opposed, but you should seriously question whether you're properly equipped to do this. Most people you're discussing with have university degrees *and* have read extensively about both evolution and Creationism.I didn't realize the concern of moderators about you was so widespread, and so I'd like to very strongly suggest that when you return you stick to subjects you know something about. It would be a good idea to stay away from topics you're unfamiliar with, no matter how strongly you believe the evolutionists are wrong and want to help out by joining the fray. Consider the analogy of war: the last thing veterans want on the battlefield is raw, inexperienced recruits, because they're more likely to get everyone killed than anything else. On this discussion board, you're the raw recruit, and you're causing your side a lot of damage. If this were an actual battle your own side would shoot you just to save themselves.

PaulK and Randman:Perhaps it's just my short attention span, but the "you did so", "I did not" part of this discussion may seem as impenetrable to everyone else as it does to me. Could you guys draw your discussion closer to the thread's topic, and if you're able to do that then please make more clear your position in each post so we don't have to go back 5 or 10 messages just to figure out what the heck you're arguing about?
