  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Actually, it doesn't 'prove' that either.  It only proves that such journals don't publish creationist articles.   The reason could still be a host of explanations.  It couldn't perhaps be that such articles are rarely submitted to mainstream journals could it?  Or perhaps such articles are not well-documented or their research is not complete.  You jump to an unwarranted conclusion, CS.   For someone who complains about poor logic later in you post, you seem to suffer the same affliction.

   In one of the recent Evolution cases (I think it was Edwards, although Peloza is possibly) the Creationist's lawyers made the claim that they were 'censored' from journals. When asked to provide supporting evidence for this (rejection notices) they could not, nor could they name a single paper they had submitted.

    In fact, I have yet to find anywhere where a Creationist has brought forth a paper and rejection slip from any journal.

  It's not censorship when you don't even submit it.
