Moons: their origin, age, & recession

Hi all!Just a reminder that this thread is in one of the science forums, so arguments should be scientific rather than religious, and of course focused on the scientific evidence.

Hi Calypsis4,You posted this link to a DeYoung video that is the second in a series of three: Would you please do two things:

1. Please bring the evidence and arguments into this thread and just use the video as a supporting reference. The Forum Guidelines are clear about this:
   ​
   5. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
   ​
2. The beginning of the video consists of religious arguments, but this is a science thread. The video is about 12 minutes long, so please provide the precise times in the video where the scientific evidence about volcanic activity on the moon is presented, as Dr Adequate requested.

Thank you.

Hi Calypsis4,The request was to bring the evidence and arguments from the video into the discussion. If the video is only describing the same eyewitness testimony you've already described then you need merely say so.And also, please provide the precise times in the video where the scientific evidence is presented.Are you really done? Should I request summations? I'd really rather you address the issues people are raising.

Please post your summations now. Each person should post only a single summation. Please do not post responses to any messages, discussion has ended.

I came late to moderation of this thread only after Calypsis4 announced he was done, and only because of a request posted at Report discussion problems here: No.2. I hadn't read the opening post nor most of the thread and so hadn't read the early suspicions that the OP was not Calypsis4's own. But I've checked it out and found Calypsis4's original source for the science part of the OP (not the story about the Princeton astronomer). Here are some links in case someone hasn't already posted them.Point 1 from the OP can be found at various places on the web, among them here as footnote 8: The bulk of point 2 can be found here beginning on page 67: *If* this is new information to anyone then you may post another summation if you wish.

Hi Calypsis4,Summations have been posted, so before I close this thread I thought I'd respond to your concerns. Permanent suspension, known as banning at some boards, is only reserved for the most persistently egregious behavior. You're a member in good standing at EvC Forum, and I don't see any reason why that should change. Moderators here usually only employ short suspensions, and usually only because they feel their requests or concerns aren't being addressed. Short suspensions are a means of getting a member's attention who seems to be ignoring moderation.The behavior that is causing concern among moderators is your tendency to ignore rebuttal about one piece of evidence to instead introduce a new piece of evidence, to the degree where by the end of one of your threads many pieces of evidence have been introduced and few discussed. EvC Forum was created for the express purpose of making possible through moderated debate something that is rather rare on the web, productive discussion on contentious issues, and failure to maintain focus on a point works against this goal.If evolution is false then you've already won half the battle, the gathering of evidence. You've obviously gathered a great deal of evidence. But the other half of the battle is sticking with discussion of a piece of evidence long enough to make clear how it falsifies evolution.
