The home page was intended to be a balanced characterization of the Creation versus Evolution debate. I appreciate all the help I can get, so perhaps you could provide a draft of an improved version? If it's good enough I'll use it.

Hi, Proph!
prophecyexclaimed writes:
God versus science. (change science to man)
God verus man? I think this means you believe that people who accept evolution do not believe in God. This is true for some evolutionists, not true for others. I offer myself as an example of a God-believing evolutionist.
Evolution is not observable, Not Science.
You'll have to make this case in the Is It Science? forum. Even many Creationists do not agree with you. For example, many Creationists accept evolution, but only within kinds, not beyond kinds. Intelligent design Creationists often accept almost all of evolution, including a billions year old fossil record. Michael Behe is an example.
I think you'll find it isn't as easy as you think coming up with an intro consistent with the many different religious viewpoints of both evolutionists and Creationists.

Since a discussion is taking place that is related to the status of evolution as science, and since prophecyexclaimed is no longer pursuing his initial complaint about the home page, I will move this thread to the Is It Science? forum and change the name to "Is Evolution Science?".

Hi Proph!
A few things:
  1. Please use the little reply icon that appears at the bottom of each message when you are replying to a specific message. This causes links to and from the original message and the reply to appear. Please avoid the large Post Reply buttons at the top and bottom of the message pages unless you are not actually replying to a specific post.
  2. Please don't quote entire messages you're replying to unless they're fairly short. By using the little reply icon mentioned above it is easy for people to click on links and visit the message you're replying to and see what was said.
  3. Please use the quoting functions described on the UBB codes page to excerpt small passages from messages you're replying to. A link to this page can be found to the left of the message box where you type your messages.
  4. A bacteria doesn't have an immune system. You probably need to rethink your response.

I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it, but we do try to encourage a lighter approach, especially with our younger members.

Topic Drift Alert!
The last on-topic portion of this discussion was Message 22 by Prophecyexclaimed and its replies. Is anyone interested in the original topic, or is this thread done?
