Oni and Buz on cosmology - Coz it'd be funny, good natured and potentially informative in a head banging kinda way.
Buz banned from science, period, including ID stuff. True creationist debate on science a no-no here at EvC (Evolution vs Creation. ) Pseudo-creationist stuff ok.

Buz, the reason for this is that for you, scripture et al. is the highest form of knowledge.
That is not the case in science. Science demands real evidence, and most importantly, evidence that can be tested by others.
Coyote, I've come to Bolderdash's insinuation that the reason is that sometimes the quickest and easiest way for the powers that be here at EvC town to silence the most effective great debaters of the creationist constituency has been to either stalk, harass and ban them from where they do the most damage to the majority secularist constituency or just flat out permanently ban them.

Buz, when one is debating a topic in science it is appropriate to bring scientific evidence and to use scientific methods.
But Coyote, the scientific methodology of ID creationists researches evidence of the existence of a higher level of intelligence in this vast universe other than that which we earthlings experience on this tiny little speck in this vast universe called Planet Earth.
You narrow minded earthling high minded elitists are like the ants of Gulliver's Travels who think your little realm of existence is the ultimate realm of all that exists, until you encountered Mr. Gulliver who opened your little ant eyes to the fact that your tiny ant hill in Mr. Gulliver's back wood lot was not all that exists.

Any suggestions as to who or what would make a good "reverse posittion" Great Debate?
How about Cavediver and ICANT, Cavediver having once been a professing evangelical Christian and ICANT, having a fairly good handle on how Evolutionists think?

I don't know how literalistic Sleve is to the Genesis account on origins. Do you?

While it is apt to compare your view of the universe to a fictional narrative, the incident you describe occurs nowhere in Gulliver's Travels. You haven't read it, have you?
I knew the citizens were people. I should have typed "ant size," referring to the citizens. I read it when I was a kid. Admittedly, I don't remember the setting and other particulars. Perhaps it's relevancy to my point was inadequate, Dr. Adequate. I'll re-visit the narrative, by and by.
