Re: Creationists are not team players
I think what you mean to say is that those who argue positions that lack evidence won't fare very well.
You presume that Buzz understands what is and is not evidence. To the contrary, Buzz has established time and time again that he can only use the term in the inaccurate colloquial sense, and cannot grasp the more accurate usage we expect around here.
I'm certain Buzz honestly believes that he has strongly supported his positions, particularly those pertaining to Biblical "prophesy," with evidence.

Re: Creationist Evidences?
No no no, Paul. Winning is just a matter of stubbornness and persistence. You're right as long as you don't admit you're wrong. The most effective, I say effective argument, in fact, involves plugging one's ears and loudly, I say loudly repeating oneself until your opponent gives up, thus proving conclusively, I say conclusively that your evidence is correct (as if evidence can be "correct") and your opponent is just spouting evolutionist dogma!

Re: Creo "Dream" Team
Can you still count NemJug? Considering he's no longer a Creationist?

Re: Dream Team
Rahvin - Why? Because his posts are very freeking intelligent yet makes them understandable to us mortals.
That is quite probably the best compliment anyone has ever given me, particularly from "the opposition."
Thanks, Chuck.
Actually, the more I debate here, the more I get to know other posters, the more I see I don't belong here.
All I can do is be honest with myself and what I believe.
As far as debating goes here, I don't plan on ever being picked to be on someones elses "dream team". Some here are in a league of there own.
Me, im in the bottom group just hanging on hoping no one finds out im secretly lost and barely getting by. It sucks being down here but then again, no one expects to much from you, until you make statements others disagree with. Which is what debating is all about.
Don't sell yourself short. You're among the most rewarding Creationists I've debated with here, simply because you seem to actually pay attention to what's said in a debate. In many debates, one or both sides fail to speak to each other and instead talk at each other, typically for the benefit of the lurkers because both sides consider their opponents hopeless brick walls.
You'll rarely find a better place to learn than EvC, not just about the topics of discussion like theology and biology, but of how to argue, and even how to think for yourself rather than just parroting what you're told.
