First, an apology. This post is likely to be biased in favour of Evolution Theory, or mainstream science in general, but, as a rule of thumb, it really aplies to "creationists" more than "evolutionists".
I will thus keep my argumentation aimed towards you creationists, but evolotinists are invited to read, and heed this advice.
When you come here for the first time, you might be filled with a fervor to spread this new and fascinating thing you have just discovered. You want to tell all the world "THE TRUTH (TM)"!
Perhaps you have just come from a website where it was "scientifically proven" that the world is only 6000 years old.
Or you just read a book where it was explained exactly how the plants could grow on the second day of creation without sunlight.
You have found "proof" againts those evil god-haters, who propose some views that cannot agree with God´s word - and you want to share it.
Well, consider that many of us have been here - and in other related discussions for a while. We know many of the arguments that are presented as "new" and "undisputable".
We know about Dr.Dino/Kent Hovind and his 250,000$ offer, AIG, the Paluxy tracks and polonium halos.
We have debated that and countless other things many times before.
Many are not convinced, many questions are still open - but the debate does already exist.
So, if you come here, and post for the first time, please ASK about a certain topic.
Provide informations that you think are relevant and ASK "So, what do you think? Is this not a proof against (whatever)?"
If you come here, certain of your imminent and glorious victory, with an argument that has been debated, and at least for some of us, completely disproofed twenty years ago - people will react, err, impatient.
An argument may be new for you, but nor for others. Be polite.
So, why do I only bash creationists now, and leave evolutionists unharmed?
I do not.
As has been shown be persistent questioning, it is very difficult to find some positive evidence FOR creationism.
It simply happens more often that people find some new (hypothetical) piece in the puzzle of life than people find things like dinosaur tracks over human footprints, the Ark of Covenant or a working theory for the accleration of the speed of light.
If you think you have found something new - whereever it comes from - post it. But please be open-minded.
Don´t act as if you had just found the hammer to smash the satanistic evolutionists or deluded creationists.
Addition: this is a repost. The original thread got horribly sidetracked by post three, and I think that the idea of this thread is a valid one.
Again I have seen new posters here, who bring on the same old and worn questions, and act very surprised when not everyone falls over shouting: How can we have been so stupid not to see that!
Believe me: we have already seen that.
