Hi Richard,
Welcome to EvC! Looks like you'll find some partners to engage in some debate here; I hope you'll enjoy your time here.
Our threads here are topical, so simply posting messages that is not specifically related to the thread content is discouraged. I'd encourage you to spend some time reading some threads and thinking about arguments and rebuttals that address points made by other posters. You can reply to a specific post by clicking the "reply" button found inside the post.
"Science Forums" are forums where debate is based in evidence and empiricism; "Faith Forums" are places for people to discuss their Faith and beliefs. It will be helpful for you to read threads in each area, so you can get a feel for how people generally deal with issues here.
Below are some links that will help make your stay at EvC more enjoyable and productive. Most basic issues can be addressed by following one of those links.
Thanks, and welcome!
