The Creation vs Evolution debate thread...

Ok - some ground rules.

#1 - This is a DEBATE. Calling people names or throwing out insults because someone disagrees with you is not a debate. If you cannot contribute maturely, don't post.

#2 - Nothing said here should be taken personally. Educated people disagree all the time, without having their feelings hurt.

#3 - Debate means your backing up your viewpoints with logical reasoning and where available, reasonably respectable sources. Anyone can claim the moon is made of green cheese.

#4 - On the subject of sources, since this is going to include religious issues, its only fair that both religious and "anti" religious (debunking) sources may both be used.

#5 - It is up to each poster (and hopefully readers) to review the available material and keep a somewhat open mind in this discussion, so that both sides may learn a bit and grow.

#6 - Anyone with a willingness to add CONSTRUCTIVELY to the debate, on either side, is welcome to join in.

If you can't abide by these rules, then do everyone a favor and go find another thread to hang out in. There are some mature and smart people here that can actually have a discussion. In other words, Trolls are unwelcome.

With that said, I will make another post to get the debate started.
