Those wishing to contribute to this revived thread should read the opening post, Message 3. This thread is not about any specific details of the creation/evolution debate. Rather, it attempts to explore why the debate is inherently irresolvable.
To be more clear, this thread is not about whether creation and evolution are right or wrong, but about why common ground is not achievable.

Re: Give the poor lad a chance
Hi Robert,
You've already been given quite a bit of feedback about clarity and focus, so I'll just quote from the Forum Guidelines:
  1. Please stay on topic for a thread. Open a new thread for new topics.
  1. Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
  1. Keep discussion civil and avoid inflammatory behavior that might distract attention from the topic. Argue the position, not the person.
Please immediately begin presenting the specifics of your harmonization of Genesis and evolution, or cease posting to this thread.

Re: Give the poor lad a chance
Hi Thief,
After reading your message I noticed that AdminNosy had already suspended you. This seems to have have expired already so I'm going to suspend you again, and here's my reaction to your post:
After you've had warnings from two moderators and admonishments from innumerable participants about debating clearly and forthrightly and just in general getting on with what you have to say, your response is to ask people to just play along with you a bit longer?
If you want frivolous conversation, find a thread in the [forum=-14] forum. The science and religion forums are for serious discussion.
See you in 24 hours.
