Determining Conclusions
Quoting Jar from original thread:
That is the failing. When you have already determined the conclusion you have moved from the realm of science into something else.
This's what frustrates me. BBists already determine conclusions which we deem impossible like the whole universe, including all space once supposedly occupying a submicroscopic area billions of times smaller than a pin point or even the proton of an atom. We believe that's a lot more preposterous than it all being designed by an intelligent creator. One "already determined conclusion" which millions deem impossible (including some scientists) is called science and ours which is deemed impossible by secularists is disallowed in the science debate as science.

Since it was I who originated the Exodus Case video which spawned much of the discussion at EvC, I'm wondering if admins would allow me to participate exclusively in Brian's new Exodus thread in the Bible Acuracy and Inerrancy thread. Not that I would likely be a key contender, but there may be, from time to time some interesting and provokative contribution I could make. I hope Lysimachus and his friends will participate, since they are far more apprised on this than I.

Thanks for responding. I do know how to spell the word, but at 70, those mental blocks come a bit more frequent. Btw, PaulK misspelled the same word in his recent post in Questions and Suggestions. I think you need to conceed that for the most part my spelling isn't all that bad. There's something about that word.
My dictionary says the word can either rely solely on experiment and observation or to rely on practical experience without reference to scientific principles. My point to Sylas was that my arguments had not been empirically refuted. Is that a proper usage of the word?

Re: The nature of the debate
There will be an endless supply of (mostly) completely unqualified people who want to argue these issues but because the evidence is so overwhelming there can be no real scientific debate.
LOL. It seems to me that even if you're an old earth and old universe creo and you debate alternative science you still get banned or restricted. You gotta talk thee science here or you eventually find yourself on the missfit poster list. I went about two years without a suspension. Percy seems to be either uptight these days, regimenting a stricter board, or both. Watch out!

Re: Brief Advice
You're the one with the power, Percy. You're the one who is supposedly trying to maintain a respectful atmosphere. How on earth do you expect that to happen when you tell the readership that it is their responsibility to read your mind?
I understand that you are trying to avoid a long, drawn out conversation regarding this. There are the forum guidelines, they need to be followed, etc. But who else are we to go to in order to get a ruling on just what constitutes a violation of those guidelines? You are judge, jury, and executioner, Percy. Don't you think your constituency deserves to ask you what is going on inside your head?
Your statements above are worthy of POM, Rrhain, but I won't. I've finally found something I can agree with you on.
