The ground rules are simple: Search for truth.

1. Present each sides' position honestly.
2. Provide data to support claims and statements.
3. Acknowledge when data refute or falsify claims and statements.
4. Apply the hypothetico-deductive method whenever possible.

No one would ever question your ability to be able to present your arguement or position. No one would ever question your ability to be able to debate the topic or subject. I do not think anyone would question that you seem to be honest and sincere.

The question is, do you show christian love? Do you show respect for your "worthy" opponent. Or have you bought into the "modern" philosophy that you should slash and burn and do all you can to make your opponent look bad.

If you have to make someone else look bad, so you can be a winner, then really your no winner at all, your really the loser. Because you had to commit murder or charactor assassination to acheive your objective.

Generally the "bad" people here make themselves look bad without any outside help.

Whether one is debating on or against his side, Lucaspa certainly has earned the respect of Christians and non-Christians alike on this board.

The question is, do you show christian love? Do you show respect for your "worthy" opponent. Or have you bought into the "modern" philosophy that you should slash and burn and do all you can to make your opponent look bad.

Not every opponent on this board is "worthy." If one comes here with nothing but a load of nonsense and empty rhetoric, it's going to get deflated pretty quickly. If lucaspa is willing and able to expose nonsensical arguments for what they are, then you hardly have the right to pass judgement on him -- or anyone else, for that matter.

If you have to make someone else look bad, so you can be a winner, then really your no winner at all, your really the loser. Because you had to commit murder or charactor assassination to acheive your objective.

I've never seen lucaspa do any of this. Would you like me to name some people who have?

What is reproduceable? An amoeba evolving into a fish? Or a fish into a lizard? No it isn't. Not even under the most perfect conditions in the lab can they get an amoeba to evolve. At least not that I've heard of.

If they can't make it happen in the most ideal of conditions, what do you rate the chances of Natural Selection making it happen? I give it one chance in five billion.
Given that there are billions upon billions of yellow stars like the sun in the universe, one chance in five billion is actually pretty good odds!
