OK, so it's only been about a decade, but I'm back! 😀
I don't know if any of you guys are even still around. Was hoping to find The Omega, and maybe finti, yerssot, and Ush!
Wanted to let you know that I've let go of creationism - mostly. I accept what science has to say regarding evolution, but being somewhat of an agnostic, I'm OK with the idea that the Big Bang could have been "Someone's" way of kick starting things.

There are folks around here, like myself, who still believe the creation account in Genesis to be true.
Ush is still around. He pretty much runs the place here as co administrator. Don't really know the other posters.

Surtur, you seem like a reasonable guy, do you really think that this kind of curt, condescending and cynical response promotes any kind of friendly and constructive discussion?
Or are you just here to be rude towards people who believe differently from you?

Why is it rude I broke down someone's belief into more simplistic terms? Especially in a topic about evolution?

You know I do. I stated itt many timea in the religion forum. I think you were involved in those discussions as well.
I didn't know because I remember discussions, but not necessarily the specific religion everyone who took part in them has. All I remembered was you believed in God.
But then how old do you think the planet is?

Sigh.
Yeah, cuz you obviously didn't want it to look condescending, curt and cynical.

Well no I didn't post that with an intent to look condescending or curt or cynical.
Sure, you did.
But if playing be-a-douche-then-deny-it game makes you feel good about yourself. Go on ahead. But it's a pity that you can't simply approach ppl with different views in a considerate and respectful manner. It would have made for some interesting discussions.

Lol but I am a douche, I won't deny it. I'm just saying that specific thing wasn't meant to be any kind of insult or whatever.
I know dude. Not saying it was a direct insult. Like, I said. You were just being a dick/douche.
It's sad that you couldn't post in a way to encourage positive conversation with an open mind. Which is a pity because sometimes ppl with different ideas may surprised you if you engage them in a constructive discussion instead of a confrontational argument (or maybe they won't, but not giving them a chance just wastes the opportunity).

I don't find it negative or positive, I find that it just is. It shouldn't prevent people from discussing something.I mean you either believe in evolution or you don't.
It would prevent ppl from discussing with you, actually. But again, up to you. Pity. You could actually find out some interesting things sometimes when you approach with an accepting attitude. But far be it for me to tell you how to live your life.

Peace out.
