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 process (and in your language theory) of evolution can be observed through evidence (and has been in biology, geology, paleontology, etc)
    What "evidence" are you referring to? I hope you actually read sometimes what we say against using anything to pass it off as 'evidence'. A moth changing color is used as 'evidence' of evolution. A finch with a new beak is used as 'evidence' of evolution. Of course that's the problem with the theory - its semantic manipulation. Adaptation is confused as evolution. To date no one has observed species forming into whole new and unpredicted species. Such has never been observed, nor is it reproducible per the criteria of the scientific method. So before you try to separate theory from process you should at least understand that they are tied together.

    You think evolution has been observed? Creation is a belief. Evolution is a belief. That is what I am saying.

    Keep in mind that evolution is the only thing being questioned/attacked in this thread - not creation. If we were putting you and your beliefs under pressure you would crack (this is only my BELIEF of course!) I really dont think youre in position to call out cracks in a belief system
    If you want a separate thread to attack creation you are free to make on and we can attack for the sake of fair play.

      If I wanted one, I would have made one. I don't need to ask for permission. I am a bit sick of arguing against creation, and have no desire to try to convince you that it's wrong (as I believe).

      I hardly need to read your posts to know what counts as "evidence" - au contrair, you did not/do not understand the term.

      There is a reason the percentage of Atheist scientist is so much higher than Theist scientists or Atheists outside of scientific fields for that matter. If you do not think that this is due to knowledge of evidence, then offer a better explanation and I will be sure to consider it.

        The typical response of someone who believes in evolution eventually is reduced to (and loseyourname did the same thing in the Evolution and Religion thread) is "then offer a better explanation" once and for all showing cracks that what they believe is indeed a belief until something better comes along. I am not here to offer better explanations, as I do not know, nor do I claim to know. Evolutionists seem to think they alone know the truth and everyone else is toiling in the fields of misanthropy. I am saying that what you believe is a belief. It is not knowledge, as knowledge according to the scientific method is something that is observed, reproduced, and tested.

          Thats not what I asked you to explain at all! Read again until you understand. Do not respond on assumptions or put words in my mouth.

            I know what you asked, and I have already addressed the issue of "evidence" by saying that "No, there is no evidence for evolution". Now run along.

                  This has turned into a waste of time and energy. I am going to sleep so that I can have a productive day tomorrow. Buh bye

                    No one said you had to participate in the discussion.
