Please see the latter half of Message 2 for the opening post of this thread. --Admin
Dear Administrator
I would like to propose the following topics. I would be delighted if either (or both) of the topics could be put forward for approval or modification along these lines:
a) In what tangible ways would mankind be worse-off if the theory of evolution were to be omitted from mainstream education?
b) Do evolutionists posses a religious zeal in their defence of the theory of evolution, and if so why?
Thank-you.

Hi Genologist,
The way this works is that you write the first message of your thread by describing what you'd like to debate and clearly laying out your position, then a moderator reviews it, maybe he requests a few changes, maybe not, and then the thread gets promoted to one of the discussion forums. But just to get things going I'll edit your message using topic (b) to be the opening post of a new thread by using your last message from the Scientific vs Creationist Frauds and Hoaxes thread. You can propose another thread for topic (a) if you like, but I'd suggest waiting a bit and see how things go with your first thread.
To everyone, what follows is to be used as the opening post of this thread.

Genologist's opening post, including some of the text from his Message 186:
I have through observation and discussion discovered that the removal of even the mere notion of a higher being is considered attractive to "some" people because they can live with a free albeit numbed or diminished conscience in this area at least. In most of those cases their answer to life is that they go with science as opposed to Christianity for example, in the context that science becomes almost a belief system or religion to them.
I believe that true science is compatible with Christianity when we point out definite evidence, (unfortunately even definite can be subjective) but we must then proceed not to "so readily" let our ideas generated from compiling such evidence become "theory and even fact". I find it sad that people consider theories such as evolution FACT, fait accompli, as if there were some ageless being with a clipboard documenting the whole thing.
Do evolutionists posses a religious zeal in their defence of the theory of evolution, and if so why?
