WordBeLogos On Notice for Possible Suspension
Hi Word,
Your response is an unattributed cut-n-paste from this page at Cosmicfingerprints.com. You have been informed a number of times about the Forum Guidelines, and here are the relevant guidelines again, first the ones about making arguments in your own words:
  1. Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
  2. Avoid lengthy cut-n-pastes. Introduce the point in your own words and provide a link to your source as a reference. If your source is not on-line you may contact the Site Administrator to have it made available on-line.
And here's the one about plagiarism:
  1. Never include material not your own without attribution to the original source.
At the next Forum Guidelines violation I will suspend you for 1 day. The next violation I will suspend you for 1 week. Any violations after that will result in permanent suspension.
Please, no replies to this message in this thread. Please take any complaints about discussion to the Report discussion problems here: No.2 thread.

WordBeLogos Suspended One Day
Hi Word,
Please recall my caution from Message 124:

You've once again included "material not your own without attribution to the original source" by including this cut-n-paste for the nth time, and you're also violating rule 4 by repeating the same argument without elaboration:
  1. Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
I am suspending you for one day. Please remember that the next violation will bring a one week suspension, and the next will bring a permanent suspension. No one has ever been reinstated after a permanent suspension.
Edited by Admin, : Change subtitle.

WordBeLogos Suspended One Week
The following material from your post was cut-n-pasted verbatim from Skeptic's Objection to Information Theory #6: It's not possible to draw conclusions about the Nature of the Designer at the Cosmicfingerprint website:
WordBeLogos plagiarizing writes:
Everything we currently know about nature rules out an infinite regress of causes...In absence of a material explanation, the only alternative for the origin of code is an uncaused coder.
Thus the only available explanation that remains is an uncaused, conscious, metaphysical designer.
...
However it does leave God as the only logical possibility - simply because no empirical naturalistic causes are known, and an infinite regress of intelligent causes is not rational.
Those who dislike this option always do, of course, have the option of waiting for a naturalistic cause to be discovered. But one cannot say one has empirical evidence until such evidence is produced.
This is what I said in Message 179 the last time you were caught posting other people's words as if they were your own:

I'm suspending you now for one week.
Also, since this thread is now over 300 messages (300 messages is where threads are usually closed) I'm going to request summations and then close this thread.
Because of your suspension you won't have an opportunity to post a summation, but upon your return next week you can post a request that the thread be temporarily reopened for you, and you can have the last word.
Let me warn you though that if your post contains any plagiarized materials whatsoever that I will immediately delete the post (something that is almost never done here but which I'm threatening to do in your case because of your persistent and blatant history of plagiarism) and suspend you permanently.

Closing Time Soon: Please Post Summations
This thread is way past 300 messages, so it's time to post summations. I'll allow 2 or 3 days for this.
Please do not post replies. Only post summations.
Please do not reply to any summation.
