Thanks for the welcome, everybody. And for telling me I'm right
that's always nice.
I spent maybe a few months lurking, and covered pretty much every forum (except the Bible Studies; the book makes no sense and there are plenty of more interesting ones to read).
I don't really have any favourite posters; most of the material on here is pretty good. There's the two or three that I refuse to read in their entirety, preferring to read any responses and see what the gist of it was while it gets torn to shreds by somebody like RAZD, crashfrog, or one of the fine folk that's already replied here. I finally decided to join since another site I was on decided to get boring and inconsistent. Plus I haven't had any good debate with a creo/young earther/"nice" fundy in quite a while and this seemed like the first place to try.
Now, onwards!
My earlier list was a bit more pessimistic, something on the order of:
- Creationist makes absurd claim.
- Creationist is proven wrong.
- Creationist goes on mad streak, throwing out accusations of conspiracy and dishonesty.
- Everybody abuses creationist for being... well, a creationist.
and then very rarely followed by evos actually discussing the topic at hand, often with a devil's advocate, while the creo shows up to continue step 3.
Perhaps these are actually the two main branches of the tree, the first one being what happens with a "nice" creo (Buz, etc.) and the second is what happens with a "not nice" creo (archie, etc.).
