Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    With regard to the 2nd law or the law of entropy, itsobserved, "It would hardly be possible to conceive of two more completely opposite principles than this principle of entropy increase and the principle of evolution. Each is precisely the converse of the others." As Alduous Huxley defined it, "evolution involves a continual increase of order, of organization, of size, of complexity. It seems to me axiomatic that both cannot possibly be true at a given time. But there is no question whatever that the second law of thermodynamics is true. "

    An excess inflow of "ordering energy" into the system from outside may cause it temporarily to grow and become more highly organized. Thus a child may grow into an adult, or men may build a structure. But each of these, and all other illustrations of apparent decrease in entropy, are only local and temporary. Negative entropy is required for its maintenance basically. A seed, fr example, being genetically complete, provides the negative entropy for the growth of a tree.

    As far as the first law, that a constant amount of energy is maintained, all matter in the universe is some form of energy amnd the total amount of energy in the universe always remains constant and so energy itself is neither destroyed or created from nothing by any natural process. these laws state that any natural process would involve conservation (1st law) and disintegration (2nd law). Evolution demands "integration and development" and is therefore impossible and mathematically improbable.

    as far as the validity of the laws go, "These laws are based upon more evidence than any other principles in science. They have been confirmed by countless thousands of experiments on systems ranging in size from the nuclear to the astronomic, and there is no known exception to either of them." as quoted by Richard Leaky, in Origins. Let it be known that the "urg" to evolve is not at all found in chemistry which is based on sound empirical verification.

    Now if you want to seriously discuss evolution please follow the link to my thread that I started.

      If I wanted a serious discussion about evolution I would call my close friend Stephen Gould or maybe my former professor Dr. Sidney Liebes.

        Hahahahaha Stephen Gould? Stephen Jay Gould? The one who brought the idea of 'punctuated equilibrium'? HAHAHAHA YOU MORON HE PASSED AWAY!

        I can't believe a charlatan of your magnitude is allowed to fester on these boards. It's painfully obvious to me you arent a serious chatter, your profile picture is fake, and you are a total contradiction. From here on you aren't going to be taken seriously.

              I believe that I asked a question (with an obvious answer), and did not, under any circumstances, make any statements. So, my dearest, most precious friend, I am not correct or incorrect. :twisted:
