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.

    Creation, intelligent intervention, and alien intervention.

      You already listed those, you dumbass. I said to give an alternative that doesn't resort to postulating pre-existing complexity. If you can't, then you are admitting that evolution is the only theory that can do so, and so avoids such question-begging.

        I cannot believe you guys are still arguing this nonsense. This is the most boring thread on the forum. Let it go already. Nobody is going to change and it will go in circles for as long as this board exists. Is there really anything to gain from this? It seems that the only reason this is still going is because both of you want to have the last word.

          This isn't so much about the last word, as it is about belief. Loser has already confirmed that the theory of evolution is the best possible explanation, ergo a belief, a guess. That is all I wanted to here. And now he resorts to calling me a dumbass. I love the scientific minds that can't stand criticism of their beloved theories.

            Yeh yes true... I think loseyourname is wasting his time trying to teach a delusioned kid, a kid that does even not believe that Earth revolve around the Sun.

              I just payed attention to that thread, how predictable he is. Is he not? He brought the same alien story on the other place and I have answered just the same way(preexisting complexity).

              The guy claim that evolution statistically is impossible. But on the other hand he brought aliens. I mean if evolution is impossible, and that aliens had created us... from where those aliens come from?

                Theories are theories, I never said alien theories are fact, because they are theories, much like everything else about our origins. For evolutionists to claim some sort of superiority in having all the "answers" and resorting to name calling is the hallmark of arrogance, as Fadix has demonstrated wonderfully.

                There is no more reason to believe in evolution, than there is to believe in Alien astronauts. But since it is about belief, one is as good as the other.

                  As much as I do not want to get into this argument, it bothers me that you keep saying that when it is not true. I have addressed that more than once and you ignore it everytime.

                  Science, evolutionists included, does not say it has all of the answers. It says it has the ability to get answers. There is a big difference. Call that arrogance if you like, but it does not compare to religion which says it already has the answers and they are right until proven wrong. If evolutionists "have all of the answers" Dawkins and Gould would not be at eachother's throats.

                    I have never claimed science is inconsequential. Rather I have claimed it is the study about behavior and reactions, in the natural world. When it attempts to construct models of origins and progression, etc., then it becomes no more faith based than a Bible thumpers belief in Jehovah. I have also seen no problem of using the scientific method to apply it to spiritual or religious matters, since only the nerfbrains would pretend it's for "biology only". With that said, I see no problem with science, when it behaves like science. Evolution is an example of a faith within the scientific community.

                      All of that has nothing to do with what I said. I am not going to be dragged into this. However, if you are going to argue, then argue. Do not finger point, name-call, and make vacuous insults to the idea of science or evolution. Calling something arrogant is meaningless and so is claiming that they have all of the answers. It is evasive posting. If there is nothing left to say but vacuous insults then give the thread a rest.
