Re: Mea Culpa
I was just reading through some old threads and came across the 'New name for evolution, "The Bacteria Diet"' thread. In that thread you acknowledged a weak OP but said you hoped it would "provide a thread to discuss Bolder-dash's beliefs about the lack of evidence for evolution that had been intruding into other threads".
It seems to me that this equally bad OP is exactly the sort of thing that could profitably be directed to that thread.
TTFN,
WK

How many threads does Europa need on Mitochondrial Eve?
Hi Adminy folk,
Just to put in my $0.02, Europa only started his previous 'Mitochondrial Eve' thread, paradoxically called All Human Beings Are Descendants of Adam, at the end of February. Has it really degenerated to such an extent that he needs a whole new thread, misspellingly called Becomming Human, to ask basically the same questions all over again?
The previous thread was only 77 posts long and it seems to have largely been on topic.
TTFN,
WK

The False Dichotomy of Natural and Spiritual
Won't someone promote sac's topic? If not, why not?

Re: The False Dichotomy of Natural and Spiritual
AdminPD usually handles proposals on such topics, but she hasn't been around lately. Maybe AdminAsgara would like to give it a try?
If there's been no admin action or response by tomorrow night I'll give it a look.

Could we get the Sai Baba thread promoted? I think discussing the differences between him and Jesus would be interesting.

"Evolution complete fact or fiction?"
I see that new member Oliver Chant has raised an interesting new topic: "Evolution complete fact or fiction?".
For too long our members have avoided this challenging issue. But I feel that this is time for this tacit self-censorship to end, and for us to seriously investigate the truth or falsehood of evolution.
I shall go further. This theme is of such great importance and scope that a mere thread is not sufficient to encompass it, and I hereby call upon the moderators to create an entire subforum devoted to this subject. I suggest that it should be called "Evolution v. Creationism", as a plain and simple statement of its unique purpose.
And, finally, let the debate begin!

Poor choice (on grammatical grounds).
Make it "Evolution v. Creation" or "Evolutionism v. Creationism".

Fundamentalism - the anti-American, anti-Christian branch of American Christianity

For techristian, topic already exists

Read the thread and then post to it if you still have questions

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

the Theism thread
grandpa has a PNT pending that is so utterly filled with fallacies that it really deserves not just promotion but maybe even an award for most fallacies in a single PNT.
Any chance of getting it placed in Free For All at least?

In Which More 3LoT Compatible, Cavediver's Temp.Non-ID Or Buzsaw's Infinite ID Universe Buzsaw makes the following statement:
"The topic will be Which satisfies the three basic 3Lot's the best, the Buzsaw literal rendering of the Genesis record or BB and the singularity events espoused by conventional science?"
I am really intrigued by this challenge. I think some ground rules need to be laid out beforehand as to what constitutes a "satisfaction" of the LoT's, but I think that if the conversation starts from an interesting port of interest that it could be a rewarding discussion.

Buz can't change the truth
It seems pointless to propose a new debate, when the question is the performance in previous debates - which are still freely accessible. The facts are already proven and a new debate on the same subject cannot change them.

I just closed the proposal, but I hadn't even considered Free For All, and I think that would be okay, so I'll promote it to that forum.

Re: the Theism thread
Good God, please tell me you didn't think I was talking about Buz's crap.
I was talking about the theism proposal from grandpa.
