Re: Topic born off-topic
Willowtree,
First off, please be calm, relaxed, and Smile. Ok, that's better.
This is a moderated discussion board. However, the admins are usually fairly nice, and do minimal moderation. This typically involves shutting down a thread if it strays too far off topic, forcing people to have to open up new - more on-topic threads.
Since the discussion had been focusing on Christ's resurrection - not the connection of Christ's resurrection to creationism - it was shut down. However, Dan pointed what the conversation had been mostly about, and the title was consequently changed. Your initial post was not changed at all - only the title. It seems strange that you would consider changing the title to what people were discussing as "censorship". The admins were trying to do you a favor so that they wouldn't have to shut this thread down to force people back on topic; it's a shame that you were offended by it. But they really meant well.
Now, your claim is that the penultimate point that you were going for, with all of the discussion of Christ, is that his resurrection is related to creationism. I don't think anyone has followed how you come to this conclusion; your post was a bit too vague for most of us. Please feel free to elaborate as to how this evidences creationism, as opposed to evolution.
Remember that creationism and evolution have nothing to do with the formation of this universe - only whether life itself was created as it currently is, or developed from earlier forms of life. It also does not include whether abiogenesis occurred or not (virtually all creationists believe it didn't, but only some evolutionists believe that it did; the others are mostly "theistic evolutionists").
P.S. - You're young, aren't you? 16 or so, perhaps? (please don't take this as an insult if I'm off on this one);
P.P.S. - Stay calm, and realize that when other people comment, they're not doing it to insult you, but just to get a calm back-and-forth debate going. It helps educate both sides. If you do, you'll have a lot more fun - you'll learn, and we'll learn too.
