to jar: thread on new logo
if my first post in that thread is off-topic, shouldn't faith's also be?
she wrote:
Evolution is the explanation for how life came about, as Creation is the explanation on the other side of the debate. CreationISM is the THEORIES that explain how it works out scientificially, so EvolutionISM ought to work for the evo theories on the other side
in message 15 of that thread.
my response, message 16, was explaining the objection. granted, the last part, in parenthesis, was off-topic, but I stated that in the ramble.
the reason I think you put the flag on my post was due to the same flag on iano's follow up, message 17, which was a counter to my separation of evolution and evolutionism (not a good one, but . . .).
can you give some explanation?

Re: to jar: thread on new logo
i still don't see what's wrong with responding to faith's objection, though, especially as it is a major part of the title.
I guess I'm looking more for explanation in that area, and should have made that clearer in the post you responded to.
(that is, if that's why the off-topic flag was put on my message 16)

Re: to jar: thread on new logo
we must be talking about different logos here
the problem is, evolutionism is a philosophy. evolution is the science. and it's not the philosophy that is trying to defend itself. Creationists (of your sort) aren't attacking the philosophy. You all are attacking the science, which is why evolution is defending itself.
where is that not "logos" as a response to Faith's questioning the objection?
abe:
okay, so there are two "logos"
one is the greek word, which is logic
the other is the plural of logo--brand image, that kind of thing
apparently, that's the reason for off-topic flag.
so it's not a question of the logic battle, but the logo battle
I still object, because I feel it is quite important in finding the right words for the logo.
the misunderstanding, on my part, comes from the recent use of the word "logos" in my writing class, where we are writing persuasive arguments.

Re: to jar: thread on new logo
if I said you were debating, my misunderstanding.
however, I took it as a sort of "what's the diff", which is why I responded, because I feel that there is enough of a difference between the two terms so as to not make the terms interchangeable, and so I proceeded to explain why I think this is the case.
and I'm not in favor of EvCism, but in favor of how the logo currently says it--tion vs tion.

Re: to jar: thread on new logo
i might just be getting my first suspension.
We're talking about the new logo in that thread, no?
so when Faith makes a statement about why a specific word choice should be used, and I make a response, and it's keeping in line with what a new logo would look like (in terms of word choice, the difference between having -ism or not).
I'm still trying to get an explanation about how talking about the word choice of the new logo (whether it's keeping the current one or getting an update) is off-topic.

Re: EvC Forum Future Directions
that, and his whole "anything proving evolution is actually disprove".
or was that randman? I honestly can't remember.
he was really funny, though. (at least, from my side of the fence)

off-topic, but all I can say is what a relief it is to finally understand something that you have spoken. Most of you stuff goes right over my head (and the heads of others, I presume).
sorry for the interuption.
