The "Posts of the Month" forum index page.
These topics listed at the above page are still available for additions.
-----
Now for February 2004 (as per previous months):
quote:
Please post your votes for the February, 2004, Post of the Month here. Include author, forum name, thread name, post number, eg:
Name: Velvet Tongue
Forum: Evolution
Thread: I'm no monkey
Post #: 17
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 month, same old message and routine,
Adminnemooseus

Name: Percy
Forum: Faith and Belief
Thread: designing a convincing prayer experiment
Post: 75
Though Percy does have the homefield advantage here his post is a wonderful summary of the deficiencies of Stephen ben Yeshua's claims of 1. application of "real science" 2. evidence of demons 3. evidence that prayer. Finally, Percy meticulously points out the overall inconsistent nature of SbY's position on various issues.
This post almost makes up for his "Joralex wins" debacle in the Great Debate forum

Is it possible to nominate a two-poster winner "thread of the month"?
Because I'll go with Natural Selection for Mike T. W., the posters in question being DBlevins and Mike the Wiz.
No combat, just an honest attempt to teach someone, without any pressure for the person being taught to accept the idea or not before they have (and understand) all the facts.

Seconded. I wish this was the attitude that more people took on this site, from both sides. It is better to ask someone to clarify their position than it is to ridicule a distortion of it.
{Added by Adminnemooseus - I agree, but this is not the forum for discussion of things. Please take any further such to a better place.}
Added in edit: Agreed, sorry for the intrusion.

A nice little discussion of the roots of the evolution/creation debate.
A little flawed, by the closing sentence

but this is covered in the following messages.

Re: From Mike the Wiz
I am IMpressed!!!!
I nominate this for post of year, and it's only February!
Creationists might reply that I only like this post because it agrees with much of my own thinking. While that harmony cannot be denied, I feel the real reason is that it demonstrates clear and logical thinking by a Creationist on a topic where Creationists never do that. Creationist thinking on the "evolution is religion" topic can be terribly muddled, but here Mike the Wiz not only thinks through the fog to issue a clear and well reasoned statement, he does it better than many evolutionists.
Kudos to Mike the Wiz! I'm frankly amazed!

A nice little summary on the formation of limestones - Better than anything I could track down. Still, it's only a summary - There is a lot more information on limestone formation in the semi-technical and technical literature.

Like I said before the issue of Darwinist ideology is central to the Creation vs Evolution controversy.

How odd! Yet you can't seem to find one person on this evolution and creationist board who agrees.

There would be no big controversy if it weren't for the Social Darwinists, eugenicists, and now the evopsych selfhelp guru's.
