I'm not trying to pick on specific individuals here, but the previous seems to be representitive of what seems to happening too much lately.
I suggest that the off-topic chit-chat be taken somewhere else. A while back, we were facing a server space storage (potential) crisis. At that time, I created the "Short Term Topics and Messages" forum, to be a place for material that didn't call for long term retention. That forum might be the place for the chit-chat.
The storage space problem is not currently pressing, so I haven't been deleting the "Short Term" topics.
Cheers,

Topic closing soon
This topic is a royal mess, and I strongly suspect that it was a royal mess starting at about message 1.
Will be preparing "topic closing message". Anyone that cares, make you closing statements now.
"Biblical Contradictions III" to follow?

Re: Topic closing soon
As I see it, in the context of the "The Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy" forum, a "Biblical Contradictions" topic should be confined to discussing contradictions internal to the Bible.
Biblical conflicts with matters of science belong elsewhere. Conflicts with geology belong in the "Geology and the Great Flood" forum (although purely theological considerations of the "Great Flood" do NOT belong there). Biblical conflicts with astronomy belong in the "Big Bang and Cosmology" forum. Biblical conflicts with biology belong in one of the biology type forums.
Just the sheer number of messages this topic has accumulated (bout 170 in the past 4 days) is indicative that babble is happening. Things seem to range from "off-topic" to "way off-topic".
Anyhow, the topic has reached 300+ messages, which is getting into the area of needing to close it before topic technical damage happens.
Please note the other forums/topics that I have recently been bumping. They are better places for the various side comments and miscellaneous chit-chat.
Closing this topic - On to "Biblical Contradictions III"?
