I have to say that it is really unclear what you are objecting to.
I would add that if you actually have a case you should be able to answer my latest post to the thread (#143). And without invoking your intepretation of the Bible (which is clearly not science at all).

Re: Moderating the Science Forums
I think that it's worse even than you suggest.
Buz couldn't bother to research his own examples adequately. Buz and Faith simply assume that they are right - and expect everyone else to simply go along with that. Indeed refusing to simply accept their opinion as fact is EXACTLY what they mean by "bias".
And because people here DO bother to check the facts both of them are frequently shown to be wrong. And they complain about that.
It's not that they are simply novices it is that they DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH.

Re: Request for moderator review
My impression is that nwr appealed to the moderators in order to shut down justified criticism of his position. Again nwr was taking an anti-scientific position as he did when he made the false claim that science didn't use induction - a claim which he did not cease to "defend" long after it had become clear that it was indefensible.
I am worried that this marks a move towaards a degree of censrship that I am uncomfortable with, especially in the light of Buzsaw's comments which suggest that he might use it a precedent to shut dowm inconvenient truths about ID "science" - and beyond.

Re: AdminBuz is clueless.
Infant Baptism and Confirmation are common in Protestant churches. I was raised as a Congregationalist (now part of the United Reformed Church). I was Baptised as an infant, and I would have been expected to undergo Confirmation. The Church also had regular Communion servies which are the equivalent of the Catholic Mass. To say that these sacraments are a difference between Catholics and Protestants is a clear error.
A church which rejected Infant Baptism and Baptised adults instead would have no need for Confirmation. That aside all the sacraments are common to Catholic and Protestant Churches. (And any Church that didn't have Mass or Communion could hardly be called Christian).
Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.

Re: AdminBuz is NOT clueless.

PaulK, please reread my admonition and the OP of the thread.
I just did, and in context the purpose of it is to abuse administrative authority to back up the false claim that infant Baptism is a distinction between Catholics and Protestants when in fact most Protestant churches also practice infant Baptism.
Sorry but Admin posts are not menat to support a particular position - and certainly not to back up claims which are obviously false.
