Re: Definition of Time
Hi Hughes,
AdminNosy has already quite properly ruled a discussion of the nature of time as off-topic, but I'd like to comment on a larger pattern displayed by your contributions here at EvC. Much of your characterization of ID in another thread was about what it didn't explain, your position being the evolution couldn't explain these things, either. In this thread you seem to be taking the position that we can't really assign ancient ages to anything because time is so mysterious.
You'll generally find that extremely general approaches to rebuttal are ruled off-topic. This is because they could be used in any thread on any topic, and have a strong tendency to draw discussion off the original topic. In the case of time, for example, you could raise that issue in any number of threads about evolution, about geology, about cosmology, and so forth. For this reason we tend to limit discussion of such topics to specific threads opened to discuss them specifically. Your general approach of "Well, I don't really believe that's the type of thing we can know anything about," fits into this category.
EvC Forum is a science site intended to explore Creationism's claim to be legitimate science. The belief that study, experiment and observation lead to improved insights is inherent in science. If you believe this isn't the case then you are free to propose a thread on this topic, but taking this belief to other threads will likely be ruled off-topic.

Hi Casey Powell aka JesusFighter,
I'm going to merge your two accounts and suspend you for an additional hour. In addition to your examination of rules 4, 7 and 10, this time please also examine rule 9.
Violations at this rate and at this level are unacceptable. The next violation will result in permanent suspension.
