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.

    Wow loser, I didn't think you'd be this fanatical about evolution. Even I concede microevolution, but I disagree on macro.

      So the human spine is anatomically adapted to quadrapedal locomotion and the human genome shows relation to archaea because of microevolution?

        You very well know I do not support macroevolution. Within species variation is there, the only alternative for that is creation, i.e. intelligent intervention. But let's stick to free will.

          You haven't answered the question. Evolution explains why our backbones are adapted to walking on all fours and great parts of our genome are identical to archaea but not bacteria. How does creation explain this?

            It doesn't explain it, it assumes it. One can very well state that "God, or Aliens, or an intelligent designer realized humans need better locomotion, and hence adapted our backbones."

            Really, it's all faith Mr. Loser.

              No, an intelligent designer (unless he was completely incompetent) would have designed a backbone that was best suited for an upright, bipedal posture. If we evolved from quadrapedal creatures, then we would expect to have a backbone that is well-suited for a quadrapedal posture, and in fact we do. By itself, that doesn't constitute proof of anything, but if you won't even accept that as evidence, you are being an absolute hypocrite, when you consider the kinds of things you'll count as evidence for your own pet conspiracy theories.

                Who said Aliens had to be perfect? And what's conspiratorial about this? Even evolutionists conspire about their theory. Conspiracy is a common thing, don't act like it's only in banana republics or Amish towns.

                  So are you postulating that aliens created us from scratch? Or from a pre-existing quadrapedal primate?

                  Comment

                    You see, unlike evolutionists, I don't know, but I have a guess. My guess is that, there is intelligent design, perhaps in the initial creation of life here. Even if one assumes evolution, the beginning couldn't have just "evolved". But during that process only intelligence has been able to guide living organisms to another higher level, whether that be God or Aliens, I do not know. Perhaps the earth is one big lab for Aliens, for all we know, testing various living organisms in various times.

                    Karl Popper said that the fundamental attribute of scientific theories is that they are falsifiable. Is evolution somehow beyond this criteria and so holy as to evade falsification?

                      Did anybody ever say that evolution isn't falsifiable? You're the one twisting and turning a creationist theory every which way to fit the given evidence that prima facie supports evolution. What negative evidence would you accept?
