Needs Work
I'm afraid we generally require a bit more work before promoting a proposal.
I suggest you list some "explanations" so we know what kind of thing you are asking for.
You should also offer something of your point of view on these so others may know where you are coming from.
Generally I would say you are trying to start too many new threads without having demonstrated that you are willing to work at them afterward.

Re: Needs Work
The intent of the post, is to stimulate discussion between standard arguments from the Creationist corner and the Evolutionist one.
This battle, this never ending discussion seems to focus around such areas as transitional fossils, for instance Creationists claim they don't exist. Evolutionists say they do.
Someone is not telling the truth. Does one side have a particular axe to grind, a hidden agenda and why ultimately is evolution so rejected as out of hand by Creationists.
Thus the structure of the original post.
I have have chosen to take a fairly netural postion in what is certainly an emotional discussion for many people.
I would rather have both sides speak openly and without fear of persecution to defend and prove their points.
Thus the deliberate sparcity of the original post.

Rejected then
One thing that is important in keeping a discussion a bit focussed is that the opening post not be too broad.
Your OP seems to be trying to do what the whole of EvC Forum is trying to do. How unfocussed can one get?
Your one example of transitionals has been discussed in a number of threads. Maybe it is time for another one, maybe not yet.
In any case, with that as an example I'm afraid that any of the 5 + 5 "explanations" that might be supplied will be worthy of a thread of their own. Including them in one thread would cause the thread to be too broadly definted and difficult to control.
Perhaps before making more proposals you could read over some threads and see if you want to participate in those. You may use the search function of this site or use Google 'advanced' restricted to this site to find interesting topics.
Someone is not telling the truth. Does one side have a particular axe to grind, a hidden agenda and why ultimately is evolution so rejected as out of hand by Creationists.
In many cases this is true; someone is not telling the truth. But that is not the case all the time. Sometimes both sides are using different defintions of terms and looking for different things. It can be a problem of understanding or confusion.
