I find it ironic this thread was closed because it was an "apologetics thread".
It seems like 90% of threads around here turn into apologetics threads. C/E doesn't really get discussed here much anymore.

Did you miss this part? Please repost your question in the Exploring Christianity forum.
I went there to see if it was reposted; and guess what?
I don't see it.
What do you suppose that means?

It means you are trying to derail a topic on only the second post. Good job!

atheists are able to argue their points and they don't need to create wonky forum rules to skew the argument in their favor. No more than one non-Christian (the OP) may post in a thread.
sounds like they are really confident about defending their views. No doubt they are loaded with fallacies and junk logic. |

Then why was this asked: 1? Originally Posted by MoonLancer Can you imagine the firestorm if atheist websites started using the same rules this place does. Ug.
No, I can't.
Atheist websites are not my cup of tea, no matter what rules they use. Originally Posted by MoonLancer atheists are able to argue their points and they don't need to create wonky forum rules to skew the argument in their favor.
Good for them.
I notice that some people seem to have a real disdain for rules; even to the point of complaining that God placed the Tree of Knowledge off-limits. Originally Posted by MoonLancer sounds like they are really confident about defending their views.
As long as they keep up with science, atheists should be able to display some confidence.
But if they don't keep up, they will get, as Tim LaHaye put it, left behind. Originally Posted by MoonLancer No doubt they are loaded with fallacies and junk logic.
Who?

That's because so many people here can't resist the antics of the village idiots and allow them to be derailed into off topic areas away from C/E.
eta - that thread was off topic for the C/E section.

Well that's more or less irrelevant to what I was trying to raise. It seems the lack of GA has resulted in a vacuum which the C/E forum (and maybe some of the other forums) has turned into.
I've noticed a lot of creationists don't really bother to discuss things related to C/E, instead skipping right to the apologetics. AV1611VET is a prime example of this.

True. I've probably been guilty of this myself. It's annoying, though, because there was a time when C/E was actually discussed here.

Good on topic discussions. A required modicum of intellectual rigor. I really miss those days.

I have always been led to believe that when it comes to creationism there was nothing to discuss, creationism is a belief that Genesis 1 is the literal truth, how can that belief be discussed? any discussion would just go around in circles.
Discussions can only be had between two people who hold the same belief, anyone else would not understand how or why a person could hold that belief.
