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.

    I gathered that you were being an ass, dont worry. lol
    Evidence for what? The problem with evolutionists is that they are repeating tautologies. The problem is down to one of semantics. What do we mean by evolution? If it is going to be traditional replies for moths or fruit flies, then yes that is called microevolution, and there is evidence for that. However, "microevolution" is a misnomer, as what that really is, is simply adaptation. Evolutionists intentionally confuse evolution and adaptation to mean the same thing. So that when there many examples of adaptation and within species variation, they label it as "evolution" and the confusion begins from there. There is absolutely no evidence that dogs, fruit flies, or moths lead to anything else other than what they began. To assert that they lead to bigger and better changes, that is sheer conjecture.

        This statement makes no point of the issue I raised.

            Such statements usually do nothing more than affirm that you cannot engage in a discussion and must therefore compensate by saying "Go read up on evolution". It's either that, or posting long articles like winoman, but never able to discuss any specific concept of said theory.

              Yosef, there is evidence to support the theory of evolution - its not proof. (although Id be happy if there was proof)
              sorry i worded it wrong =( i ment there much much more evidence towards evolution.

                  After all the discussion you have seen from me? Youre either desporate for a come back or.... nope, youre desporate for a come back.

                  Why do you mention winoman when he wasnt even talking to you and them complain about him? Stop insulting people and noone will bother you.

                      Hm - how can one "adapt" if they do not "evolve"? And evolve, change, adapt - all interelated. And there is more then ample evidence for creatures that were not quite dogs or not quite all the various creatures we see now - being something that is in essence an earlier form - there is a tremendous amount of evidence for such - that combined with observations of all types, predictions that have come to pass, application of falsability, application of genetic discoveries and so on and so forth - comprising a great body of evidence - making the proof for evolution as solid as that of any scientific understanding.
