Welcome to EvC, sinequanon. Usually, we prefer that new members get a feel for the place by contributing to other peoples topics before starting one of their own on the very first post, but I will consider your topic.
I want you to edit it and tell us what you think the answers to your questions are.
Additionally, do you want this to be a Science topic or a Faith/Belief topic?
Edit and let me know within 2-3 days. Thanks.
What Is A Discussion Board Anyway?
New Topics should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Keep them short and don't attempt to explain your entire point in the first post. Allow others to respond so that you can expand your discussion.
If you are warned by an administrator or moderator for any reason that is not explained in the Forum Guidelines you can argue your case here.
If you are not promoted, feel free to discuss your reasons with the administrator in the Proposed New Topics Forum who responded to your topic proposal. Feel free to edit and modify your topic and inform the administrator that you have done so.
You may also take your argument here and get feedback from other administrators.
Usually, we leave topic promotion to the first administrator that responds, unless that administrator invites others to comment.************************************
