This is just a general invitation to any creationists that might be lurking the forums and not posting. I have been trying to think of ways to organize support systems for creationists but every time I try that on here the evolutionists rush in and make a mess of things. I am looking for creationists who are interested in forming support and study groups, whether they are into debate or not.
The fact is the people I would most like to interact with the most are the people I actually see the least on here, creationists. I would just like to know who you are, what your interest in creationism is and what you would find helpful in your search. Let me tell you a little about myself.
I've been debating the creation/evolution thing for about six years now. I have virtually no interest in geology or radiometric dating, my interest is the life sciences in general and genetics in particular. I have debated the topic with evolutionists in formal debate forums in the creation/evolution common area and one in the General Theology formal debate forum.
If you are out there browsing the board why don't you stop a while and let me know your out there. I have set up a creationist discussion forum and I'm interested in learning what would attract creationists to the site. What are your likes and dislikes, what kind of members would you like to interact with, what would make a good creationist website.
My PM box is open to anyone who would rather discuss this privately.
Grace and peace,
Mark

Hi Mark. I get bored quickly with most of the topics, or soon after the good ones get derailed. Some posts get so long or technical that I don't even start to read them. Maybe I need something to boost my enthusiasm. |

Yea I heard that, the long hours of research I do to get to a point are tedious to say the least. The thing is, every now and then I go out into cyberspace and try to find a creationist group that is having good natured and substantive discussions about creationism. I have yet to find one that gets any real traffic or gets into the details.
I've been kicking a few ideas around and I have a discussion forum I just got started. I'm just going to make the rounds for right now and see if I can find creationists interested in helping build a creationist support site. G4C.net
Nice to see you again Dennis. If you are interested or know of anyone else who might be interested just join the site and make a post. It seems I will have some spare time on occasion since the Army has sent me to Afghanistan. Man! is it ever hot here.
Grace and peace,
Mark

Resources to teach creationists how to construct proper logical arguments would be good, and encouraging them to avoid both logical fallcies and PRATTs. |

I am on. Wish it success.
I am a physical geologist (in case you do not know). I am learning biology, but not very efficiently. So far, I have not been really challenged in my field by any non-creationist. Kind of boring. So, if you see a hard one, throw it to me.
Geology alone won't work in any CvE debate. It has to be based on theology. And I think this dependence is perfect.
God bless you at where you are.  |

my preferred topic of discussion (of which i am just a novice) is defending the creation view from the study of the OT and the Hebrew language.

Hi Mark
What do you count as "creationist"? YEC only, old-earth, theistic evolutionists or IDers?
I'm stunned that you have debated C/E for six years and yet have no interest in geology or radiometric dating. These are two of the key areas of the debate!
