Would it be possible to set up a forum in which a layman like me can ask technical questions that might be answered by whoever knows the answer? An example of the type of question I'm talking about is when I asked Pink Sasquatch what a "receptor" was. I was off-topic when I asked it.

I don't know who he/she is. Haven't been following the discussions much, but I liked some of his/her opinions as I recall.

For lack of a better place, I'll put it in this topic.

i know what anita is talking about.
AFRICAN VISION QUEST Bruce faces one of his toughest tests as he is inducted into Bwiti, a rainforest religion practiced by the Babongo people of Gabon. He's right to be worried ” on occasion the ritual, which involves consuming an overdose of a powerful hallucinogenic, iboga, has proved fatal. This dramatic episode follows Bruce's build-up to the ceremony, as he goes hunting, collecting forest honey and spends time getting to know his new friends, before they judge the time is right for his "rebirthing" ritual. the show is Going Tribal on discovery. and it's awesome.

I would like to have the title of this topic changed as I think it may be causing problems for the discussion there. A better title would be "Doug Wilson--a problem for a small town in Idaho? (for Faith)."
There may be a way to change it myself, but the time-stamp that I suspect would appear at the bottom of the OP might open me up to a charge of changing the text of the message. Thanks.

I didn't search the thread for the answer, but what is the colored bar that appears under the title of some threads? It starts as a short green bar and grows to a long red bar.

It shows topics that have the higher activity based on time. Sometimes they are actually topics of interest, but more often it is simply an indication of lots of rapid posts.

Maybe Percy can change the column heading from "Topic/Originator" to "Topic/Originator/Activity Meter" and hopefully make things clear once and for all.
Moose Added by edit: BTW, the meter is messages in the last 48 hours. The meter pegs out at 50 messages. The meter does not show for closed topics.

my question is does gain of function prove mutations could possibily create new traits, and what are creationist rebuttals against this.

My apologies for barging into a debate “Why DID we evolve into humans.” I understand the scientific criteria required to substantiate factual information. I appreciate what is revealed through genetics, palaeontology, anthropology, etc., and can only marvel.
It was said, as being precisely true, that because there is no instantaneous transmission of information, the act of observation must always occur at some point in time following the event. I think of sound as an example of instantaneous transmission of information. If sound, per se, cannot be observed after the event is it therefore nonexistent and unprovable? I referred to the emotion of love. I was thinking of the myriad manifestations of human emotions, including love and hate. For example one might witness an act of genocide. In that moment is there no instantaneous transmission of information? Is the reality only observable after the event? There is one particular conundrum in my mind that I wish someone could answer. Before Isaac Newton developed a complete mathematical formulation of the mechanistic view of nature that remained the solid foundation of scientific thought well into the 20th century, does it follow that gravity, etc., did not exist until it was accurately measured and quantified? Or was it the formulation and articulation of existing phenomena that admitted conscious acceptance? And, if basic structures of the material world are determined, ultimately, by the way we look at this world; that the observed patterns of matter are reflections of patterns of mind - was Albert Einstein wide of the mark in saying, “As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.”?
