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.

  • Extraterrestrial Life

    Do you think there's life on other planets? If so, then where does God fit in?

    I don't think it's very likely that life is restricted only to our tiny planet in such an enormous universe. I don't necessarily mean "little green men". The Mars Rover found evidence of previous atmospheric conditions that could have sustained certain bacterial life. I think they also found evidence of once-existing glaciers or evidence of water (not sure). Under the right conditions, microscopic life forms could begin to emerge if they have not done so already. As far as the role of God, I'm on the fence. Tell me what you think.

    I definitely believe life exists on other plants. Only place God fits is people's imaginations (is this even a word?).

      It is said by scientists that each star has its own universe or its own sun, and it is also said that there are 50 billion stars that we SEE, and another 50 billion we don't. Now you do the math, I think there is a possibility of life on other planets, however not necessarily like us. As far as God goes, I agree with Hogg.

        I definitely believe that there is life on other planets. I mean, the universe is pretty damn big, so why should we be so special?

        As someone else mentioned in another post (I believe it was Crimson in the Evolution thread, but I could be wrong), life could take on a whole different form than what we know to be life. Maybe some planets contain life that doesn't require water for survival, but some other such substance. Humans are so sure of themselves, always thinking that they are on top, when they probably aren't.

        As far as God goes (or some higher being), why does it only have to be restricted to planet Earth? This higher being could be in charge of the whole universe. (You athiests can just shush.)

        Or maybe I'm just letting my imagination run wild. In any event, the truth is out there, hahaha.

          I prefer to be called agnostic. I just express my non-believing side more.

            There is nothing wrong with questioning what is already 'accepted'. However, everyone has their own beliefs, so beliefs cannot be forced.

              Flames..you never cease to amaze me my darling. The reason why God is so special is because he is the Creator. Whatever you see, or cannot see, was his doing. However, this thread is about little green men...

              I do think some form of life exists, but not like the one's we see on TV. I wonder who even created the "alien" to look like that. Big bugged eyed....wait.....a min....Anonymouse? Naaah, he couldn't be. I've seen his pics, he's too hot to be a Martian!

                Yes there is probably life on earth and there is probably no god.

                  There is probably life on Earth? Hey Tig was that the anestesia speaking?

                  The stars sent us a beautiful rose for Valentine's Day... Enjoy!




                  I'm going with the idea that life on other planets and God can still coexist.

                    I don't necessarily see a conflict between God and other lifeforms.

                    But with that said, I don't see any reason to exclude life given the vastness of the universe. Carl Sagan himself commented on the great probability of life out there.

                    I think you should read the Earth Chronicles by Zechariah Sitching, particularly The 12th Planet and When Time Began.

                    He basically offers evidence and postulates that visitors from other civilizations helped usher our scientific and spiritual progress.
