Evolution has been Disproven

In spite of the fact that I've been participating I'll step in as admin. You are in a science thread, Quetzel has gone to considerable trouble to help educate you. You seem to think you can play silly ass when you have no answer to what has been presented.You have a days suspension.

There, 24 hours to think and read.I hope that has helped. Mispeling curected. --AdminThis message has been edited by Admin, 02-11-2005 18:00 AM

Monkeyman72, If you are replying to a particular post please use the little green marked reply button at the bottom right of the post. This allows us to understand what it is you are talking about and may notify the person you are replying to.Your post all by itself isn't easy to figure out.Thanks.

I haven't read back to figure out how things got so far off topic. But one more post in this line and this gets closed for a bit.

You'd have to refer to the specific threads for anyone to comment.We have a general rule that we close a thread at about 300 posts. This sort of refocusses the discussion (if anyone wants to open a continuation thread) and is a tradition from when the software used to choke up when there were too many (somewhere over 300) posts on a thread.As for warnings they vary a lot. The site has "science forums" (this is on) and other forums. In the science forums posters are required to apply the methodolgy of science. If an assertion is made then it must be backed up with fact and reasoning and supported against criticism.Frequently we find that individuals come here thinking they know a lot about the sciences involved because they have read stuff on creationist web sites like AIG and ICR. When the errors are pointed out not all of them can deal with it very well and recieve warnings for not following the guidelines of the site.I think if we actually quantified the warnings etc. we would, as you suggest, find that more of the creationist side receive them. That is partially because they are more likely to have some trouble with unfamiliar ways of thinking.Your post about God and faith was, by the way, off topic in this thread it is not one for discussing faith and beliefs derived from it. Lots and lots of warnings are given for getting off topic. We all do it all the time. It is very hard to stay on topic but with a little administrative warning and good will we keep the discussions a little bit focussed.

Welcome to EvC Regless.I'm a very near neighbor of yours. Drop into Bean Bros. in Kerrisdale and I'll buy you a coffee.(You'll recognize me easily -- I'm the guy that all the cute, young barista's like to tease )I would have to say though that your post here is not exactly on on topic. Sometimes when a newbie wants to express their views the post a greeting in the coffee house. That would have been a good place for this post.In any case, glad to have you here. Head over to the ID threads. The supporters of ID need all the help they can get.

Personally, I've found that looking like a glaring idiot (repeatedly) is a good path to learning things.The only time you are really an idiot is when you refuse to learn. This is especially true if you are lucky enough to have someone who actually knows there stuff and can take time to help you.Oh, was it IC or ID that was the topic of discussion. We have, of course, a number of both.I might comment that it seems unfortunate to make up your mind on something when you don't actually know much about it.This message has been edited by AdminNosy, 10-27-2005 06:42 PM

Hello Heebs, welcome to evc.I suggest you read over the whole thread. You will find that defender started off utterly wrong in his understanding of what evolution is about. Lots of reading and questions is a good place for a newbie to start.Some of the links in my signiture might be helpful. If you ask questions about how things work almost everyone will be glad to answer. (In fact, it is possible that e v e r y o n e will answer ).
