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.

    The man who thinks an upright walking terrestrial creature having embyronic gills and a tail (despite the fact that neither is ever used) means nothing is criticizing skepticism?

      Come on, man. All I'm asking for is some intellectual honesty here, a little bit of integrity. I could care less what you believe, but at least hold all hypotheses to the same standard.

        You seem to be constantly whining about this "gill" issue, when not even the most evolutionists cling to it. The fact that a human embryo in its early stages goes through "fish stages" of "gills", a "tail", means nothing. So what? We learned this in middle school. The question is, does it mean anything of significance? During fetal development there are certain folds not entirely gills in the truest sense of the word, that resemble a fish embryo but as we progress and develop it stops. In fish it develops into gills, in humans into the glands and structures of the ear, neck, etc. If there would be any truth in this assertion that we evolved and are related to fish the gills would evolve into lungs. As far as the "tail" it is a purely regular thing, the coccyx, or 'tail bone" which is an important fully human feature. Nothing about the human embryo suggests to me that it is not unque to humans. Get over it. While we're on integrity, if you truly wanted to uphold integrity you wouldn't have dragged this issue in the evolution thread, instead of ruining a perfectly good and different thread.

        I have already stated everything is based on belief, based on our consciousness. Reality is determined by our consciousness. So with that said, this thread is about intuition and all things that flow from it. If you want to whine about evolution, go to the proper thread if you have nothing to contribute in this thread, which seems to be the case.

          My intuition tells me you're wrong. My consciousness has determined it.

            By the way, pharyngeal gill slits are a defining characteristic of the phylum chordata, to which both humans and fishes belong. Only in chrondrichtyes and osteoichtyes are the gills used for breathing. In other classes, they are used for feeding. In mammals, they are vestigial and exist only in the embryonic stage.

              By the way, remove this crap to the proper thread.

                Then address the reason I actually brought it up. Why is your evidential standard lower for your own pet hypotheses than for those you oppose?

                  Lower? I won't answer that because it does not deal with the thread, nor does your question make sense, which you will contend otherwise. There is no "standard" about this. You cannot "empirically" "prove" intuition. Now leave the thread since youre of no use here, as usual. Stick to threads which deal with mechanical empirical explanations of the world. This thread is for those already accepting the concept of intuition or familiar. Those whining about mechanistic explanations make another thread.

                    People who use intuition consisently being right wouldn't constitute empirical evidence? This isn't the intution forum. Skeptics are just are welcome as believers. In fact, if you had any integrity whatsoever, you would want skeptics.

                      Skepticism is not the same as whining about evolution in a thread dealing with intuition. With that said, this is basically where I draw the line with you and Seapahn or any other person who buys into your explanations of reality. You adhere to the age old concept of treating man as a biological chemical entity, whereas I see him as a spiritual being. Therefore, I find it pointless to even discuss this with you since you have no idea where I am coming from nor where I am bringing this discussion from, nor where it is intended to go or how to be received, or how it might serve someone. If you want to contend that this has no evidence, you're right, you can't "map it" or put it in a nice algebraic equation, so stop asking stupid questions about "pet theories".
