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.

    Question From "Traditional man and country"

    The goal of this thread is not to discuss evolution, I just had a simple question but Anonymouse thought that it was "off-topic" based on some obscure "unwritten, unconsciuous rule" and was asked to create a new thread.
    It seems weird to start a new thread just to ask a question, but....

    Unless you show that the principles of Molecular Biology are totally wrong than there will be evolution as long as there is life. Evolution is more than a concept. Evolution is more likely to happen than the sun rising again.

    Would you care to tell us why the principles of Molecular Biology are wrong?

      First of all, yes it would exist. Start with this http://pubs.acs.org/cen/news/83/i26/8326notw3.html and if you want to know more then google.

      Second of all, it does not answer my question.

        "If the finding is confirmed, the organisms would be the first known to use a light source other than the sun, suggesting the possibility of life in other sunless environments, such as Jupiter's moon Europa."

        "Their announcement comes with some strong caveats, however. The authors can't say for sure whether the bacteria are actually indigenous to the vents. There's a chance, they note, that the organisms could have drifted into the collection area from elsewhere, where sunlight could have supported them."

        Yeah... so much for that theory.

          The point is that photosyntheis may happen without sunlight and under different conditions life happens differently, so for my purposes it does not matter "whether the bacteria are actually indigenous to the vents" or not.

          For instance, check this http://www.universetoday.com/2009/04...nd-cool-stars/

          Your statement that life wouldn't exist without the sun is also a theory

            As far as the planet WE live on, it's a FACT. If not the sun, there has to be another form of energy. Try growing a plant without light or water... doesn't work too well.

              I see that you have modified your original statement and have moderated your views.
              My statment was was about life and not about a particular form of life. Different forms of life would/could exist in different energetic conditions.

              By the way, it's NOT a fact even on planet earth, whether you like it or not your statement is a theory because life on our planet is may be more diverse than you'd think. I've already gave an example.

                No, I corrected a spelling mistake and added another sentence....

                  Until it CAN be proven false and denied, it's a fact.

                    Going from a universal statement to a specific one limited to planet earth, is called modifying and moderating. But even if limited to the planet earth, it is a theory
