Re: Mea Culpa
The discussion has spilled over into this this thread because everyone wants to discuss Bolder-dash's issues with how evolution is defined, but I'm the only one getting to have any fun in Free For All while his proposal languishes there.
Rather than continue this discussion here, could someone start a thread over in Coffee House? If something useful begins emerging from that thread then it can be moved later.

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.

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.

Good God, please tell me you didn't think I was talking about Buz's crap.
Of course I did. I'd forgotten we had a member named Granpa, so when you said the proposal was "utterly filled with fallacies" and "deserves not just promotion but maybe even an award for most fallacies in a single PNT" I naturally thought you were talking about Buzsaw's new proposal.
But I understand now: Buzsaw, crap; Granpa, fallacies. Got it.

I think AdminPD is stretched a bit thin over in the religious threads. I'm a poor judge of thread worthiness in the religious arena, so I'll just promote it.

Re: The "Quantum Physics" PNT
I think that's a good set of criteria. Son Goku just replied a few minutes ago, maybe you could take a look and decide whether it should be promoted.

He seems pretty confused to me. I was hoping AdminPD would take a look at it to see if it was appropriate for the religious threads. Is your interest to resolve his confusion or poke fun at it?

Hi Dr Adequate,
I think that's an excellent summary of the main point he was trying to make, at least in his OP. He seems to make a clearer statement in his reply to AdminPD. My concern is that members might just poke fun at the other things he says, to mention just a couple, that scientists reject the idea that God commands them to act, or his comments about a mechanistic universe.
I think AdminPD's suggestion that he participate in existing threads is a good one, I'm inclined to wait a day or two.

Re: My Problem With The Bible...
Anyone can begin Coffee House threads. You could start a topic there where you link to Cyber Prince's thread, then comment on it. If a focused discussion emerges the thread can always be moved to a discussion forum.

Can you describe what happens when you try to create a topic proposal?

Re: How to propose a great thread topic in the science forum??/
You don't say what you did. Did you click on the "New Topic" button? If not, then what did you do?
If you did click on the "New Topic" button then you should have seen this message:
You may not open a new topic in this forum. New topics for most forums must be proposed in the Proposed New Topics forum.
Did you see this message? Or did you see something else? If you saw something else, then what did you see?
If you did see this message, did you follow the instructions? If so, what happened?

I think you're still having problems. You posted your thread proposal to the Suggestions and Questions forum. Could you post it again to the Proposed New Topics forum?

GIA's Latest Thread Proposal
About Greatest I Am's latest thread proposal, Should the rest of the world adopt Islam's view of the inequality of women?, I see AdminAsgara is looking at it. Usually the nature of a topic isn't a factor in promotion, though there have been a couple of particularly racist proposals that were turned own, or maybe they were threads that were shut down.
But what does GIA's topic have to do with the creation/evolution debate? Seems like GIA could have just dumped it into Coffee House.

Re: Discussion of Phylogenetic Methods
You're writing about the thread proposal at Discussion of Phylogenetic Methods. I read the first message without looking at the second. I thought I was dealing with a technical thread proposal where I just needed to make sure I understood a few things first, the goal being to make sure the thread gets a good start with a comprehensible opening post.
Only after posting my reply to the first message did I glance at the second. This is beyond my current available time to review and understand. If you can get a second in favor of your motion to promote as is then I will do so.
