Shells on mountains
I'm gonna say this right out: im a creationist. a seventh day adventist, to be specific.
that being said, no, im not trying to force my beliefs down your throat, so please don't accuse me of that. no, im not saying that im more righious than you. im pretty low on the totem pole myself, so dont think im barking at you guys. this is just my opinion.
ok, lets start with the basics:
Creation: a supernatural God created everything on earth, thus intellegent design. LIFE on this world started about 6000 years ago. (note: i did not say that everything is 6000 years old; im saying that life started then. matter was here loooong before that). there was a worldwide flood that destroyed the entire earth exept for Noah and his family and the animals on the ark.
now evedence for creation is everywhere. im sure youve all heard the shells on top of mountains one (and by the way, ive never heard that one refuted). so if anyone wants to prove me wrong on this, feel free.
im open to any criticism, as long as it deals with my beliefs in creation. anything else i will probibly ignore. that is for a different discussion.

You'll have to narrow this down to just one issue. Would you like to focus on the "shells on top of mountains" issue? If so, edit your post to address just that issue, change the title appropriately, then post a note when you're done and I'll take a look.

Re: Shells on mountains
Zothar, you never posted a note that you'd edited your topic proposal. I only just now noticed your edit when I was about to close this thread. Are you still out there? If so post a note and I'll promote this.

An existing "shells on mountains" topic, and some writing tips
now evedence for creation is everywhere. im sure youve all heard the shells on top of mountains one (and by the way, ive never heard that one refuted). so if anyone wants to prove me wrong on this, feel free.
My "bolding".
You might want to do some reading (and then replying?) at the existing Seashells on tops of mountains topic. Some (a lot?) of the messages are not that great, but I do encourage you to at least skim the entire topic.
As a side note, certain moderators (such as those with a "moose" in the name) tend to get highly testy about extreme bad writing form - Especially starting sentences with lower-case instead of upper-case (capital) letters.
A re-presentation of the above quote with things fixed:
Now evidence for creation is everywhere. I'm sure you've all heard the shells on top of mountains (and by the way, I've never heard that one refuted). So if anyone wants to prove me wrong on this, feel free.
On the plus side, you have done the good thing of having blank lines between your paragraphs.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
