I need your help

[yasic]

First of all, I have to say I am not fully familiar with the new rules (they seem to be contradictory everywhere) so if I broke one I am sorry. Feel free to delete this if that is the case.

Anyways,

A big atheist blogger by the name of PZ Myers recently made a post about an online creation vs evolution game, crevoscope.com Due to this, there was a mass flux of atheists to this game and unlike before when we had a reasonable ratio of creationists to evolutionists, the scales were tilted too much too one side. I would like to mention that discussion and debate is a big factor of the forums.

So I am wondering if any of you could yourself go and help even out the balance as well as support the other Christians on that site who are in a flood right now. Or perhaps you might know where I may be able to find a nice group of creationists to help even out the scales.

We there appropriate all the help we can get!

Your aim shouldn't be to argue for the sake of arguing...it isn't a contest. Go there, address your thoughts, and accept responses for what they are. You may learn a few things if you approach it that way.
Of course, some people would rather just rant their opinions than expand their horizons, which is fine too, but what's the point? Take advantage of the opportunity to learn about a topic you are limited in.

The aim is not to outargue or gain the majority.

As it stands right now, the number of atheists to christians is so high that one cannot get in a decent discussion. Each christian gets confronted with 30 different arguments so has trouble following a linear discussion.

With a few more of you there, it would give everyone an opportunity to have a nice talk.

More christians would just derail it even further because they would then present thirty counter-arguments of their own.

Turn it around on them. If you give them one rock solid argument, then they will be scrambling to come up with responses, rather than bombarding you with questions of their own.

There's actually an area on this board dedicated to origins theology: http://christianforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=143

You might be able to attract even more help there. If you contact one of the moderators, maybe this topic could be moved there.

thanks yasic

i might give that a try one of these days, maybe you should re-post this request over at the OBOB area, i'm quite sure some people there would be interested to know about it.

You may also want to check out peter kreeft web site, is an university philosopher and he has some great materials out there target at athiests.

In case you need it i also just uploaded an interesting video that talks about The Big Bang Theory, listen to it, iin my opinion that argument alone proves the existence of GOD.

Some advice on this kind of discussions, you may get asked multiple questions at once all in rapid fire succession. Before you can answer one question, you're asked another. Just keep firmly, but gently, guiding the discussion back to one topic until you've said all you want to say...then move on.

Mod note:

Thread moved to Origins Theology per request of OP.

Thank you stump!

You might want to bring this up at the creation/evolution forum that I mentioned in another thread here: http://forums.christianity.com/forumid_55/p_1/tmode_1/smode_1/tt.htm. This is one of the few such forums I’ve participated in where creationists have the majority.

 

[yasic]

Ty aggie, will do.

Sorry, Yasic, I can't join a site that looks like that. Too sketchy. You should recommend they get a facelift so people can get a sense as to who they are, guarantees about the information you submit, etc. The only thing I know about it is that it seems to be founded by some guy named Yaroslav Naumenko (maybe faculty at Penn State?).
