If yoou're still looking for someone, I would love to participate. The sooner we begin the better. It's summer break and I'm not taking summer courses this year, so I've about two months free that I can hammer this out with you.
Do you think it would be possible to have two moderators? One Christian, one Non-Christian. I'm not implying that any intentional bias is inevitable, but I am implying that the likelihood of unintentional bias is very high and could easily be remedied.
If it's a serious offer, you might want to look at how he treated his last debate opponent before you commit yourself to a debate with this guy. Essentially he stropped when his opponent wouldn't concede points that hadn't been proved, then hounded him across the entire forum claiming he'd won.
If you can handle that sort of behaviour, then go for it. I think most of the regulars want no such thing though

Search for cfpaddler in google to see how a friend of mine wants to paddle round the UK to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Any support, spiritual or otherwise, would be greatly appreciated by him.

i think you need to read again.,..
you seem to be misunderstanding... i asked him to concede the point that the theoy he offered, is not by scientific definition, a proper 'theory'
...easy enough since it isnt
especially in light of the fact he conceded this very same point in another discussoin |

this means 4 out of 6 however, found it to have merit... 2 disagreed. There are those who disagree when anything new is presented |

In a scientific peer review process, 2 out of 6 disagreeing with the findings of the paper would be enough to stop its publication.

No, it doesn't mean it's wrong. It merely means it wasn't 'peer reviewed' as the term is used in relation to science.
Certainly, 2 of 6 could be biased in the thought of lending it credit...and 4 of 6 could be biased the other way.

That's funny, I must have imagined reading articles about new discoveries which had passed the peer-review process... |

Reps: 9,326,532,999,196,414 (power: 9,326,532,999,201) | | Fine I take your challenge. Here are my questions.
If there were only 4 people exhisting in the beginning does that mean we are the produce of incest?
same with noah + I doubt noah was the only man to own a boat.
why does god hate sin if hate is the production of the devil?
Why due to science and realistic thinking are there no more miracles?
Why can't god heal amputees or people with permanent injuries?
Why is christianinty's only "proof" a christian biased source?
Why does our whole world suddenly make sence when we a knowledge the possibility of no god?
why does god let thousands of people in africa suffer while gang bosses prosper?
If drugs are bad why were they created and why can they help thousands of people.
If god does exhist doesn't that mean you could lead an enjoyable life then on your deathbed ask jesus for help?
and finnaly WHY? WHY? WHY? DOES GOD ALLOW PEOPLE LIKE THIS TO EXHIST? http://www.netauthority.org/
WILL SOMEONE ANSWER ME I AM TIRED OF BEING IN THE DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S I'm sorry. I am very angry currently and I want some answers other than "In the bible it tells us ...." .Becuase lets face it the written word is a man made product and cannot be the direct word of god. I am agnostic and believe that god does not want us to waste time worrying over matters like this. He would want us to to enjoy the world he created.  |

The jury is still out on this one. Apparently it's a hoax, but the evidence is inconclusive. | | |
