In this particular case I'm only concerned with the rules we play by
here.

Creationists come with something, which indeed i not just another repetition of the same old claims once again, and it gets tested in the scientific process, and if it stands the test - THEN we politely, seriously, open-mindedly discuss that proof and what it means for the established theories of how life emerged and unfolded on earth. Doing so without that proof given first - is appeasement.

I completely agree. I like being polite, and I like debating things. I don't expect everyone to feel the same. My comment to Sammi only concerned the rules here.
Sammi, you're doing fine.
