This seems to be a slapstick site for beating up on creationists, and a meeting place for atheists to discuss their faith in no god.
Actually there is a considerable section of this board which features lively debate amongst theists and with atheists and agnostics. Check out the
Faith and Belief and the
Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy forums.

It is incredibly slanted towards the view of evolutionism being the only truth, with the evolutionists taking the key position they are the only ones in the world who understand absolute truth. Silly, really.
It might be silly were it true. There are very active creationists here who debate very robustly with evolutionists, and some of the most vigorous debates are between evoluitionists on aspects of evolutionary theory.

1. Abiogenesis is not allowed to be discussed as part of evolution even though this site is defined as evolution against creation.
Actually the reason we so often keep abiogenesis and evolution separate here is becuase we have such a wide range of opinions. Some participants, salty is an obvious example, regard abiogenesis as a ludicrous impossibility, but are quite convinced that evolution has occurred. It's generally easier to the keep the topics clarified.

2. The admin people here are not at all impartial and violate the forum guidelines themselves by posting under two names at the same time; one as a bully admin, the other as a prejudiced evolutionist.
One of the pleasures on this board is being able to participate in discussion. I for one have a pretty strong public service ethic, but it doesn't extend to moderating others discussions on the internet out of the goodness of my heart. I enjoy participating in the debates. However, I attempt to be as impartial in my moderating role as possible. I'm sure I fail sometimes, which is why our admins are drawn from a range of background opinions. The only email of complaint I have received about my moderation was from an evolutionist who thought I was being unfair on him, compared to the creationist with whom he was debating.

3. No one is changing sides, so why this site even exists to engage in feigned debate is perhaps the biggest joke for the objective observer to enjoy.
Hang around - if you are open to free unbiased inquiry maybe
you will change your side on some issues. Do you think that is possible?
And, in fact, we regularly do see people change their stance. Not necessarily radically from camp to another, but there have been many occasions where people on both sides have realised that the arguments or evidences they have used have been mistaken. Flick throough the archived messages and you will find examples.

4. What may be even funnier, however, is how stupid you all look arguing ad infinitum about irrelevant issues!!! GET A LIFE PEOPLE!!!!
Interesting that you claim to read an "irrelevant" forum in sufficient depth to be able to make detailed comments on its ongoing policies. I'm sure you couldn't be the kind of immature, shallow and ill-educated lurker who would jump to conclusions from only a cursory view, so I must conclude that you have lurked here for long enough to reach a considered conclusion. But then one wonders why you would bother to spend time reading a forum on a topic you believe to be "irrelevant." The phrase "get a life" certainly does come to mind.
