You might want to take that off your website, because if a person can't ask questions of another person on your sight, there is no discussion taking place.
discussion ( P )(d-skshn)n. Consideration of a subject by a group; an earnest conversation. A formal discourse on a topic; an exposition n 1: an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic; "the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic"; "his treatment of the race question is badly biased" [syn: treatment, discourse] 2: an exchange of views on some topic; "we had a good discussion"; "we had a word or two about it" [syn: give-and-take, word]

Re: Bogus 'evolution' websites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Admin: You were explicitly asked to pick one yourself. Pick one what? I'm not the one that made the statement that the websites were totally bogus! I came here to learn, you know, gain "knowledge and understanding" through discussion. But obviously that isn't the intention of this website. Sorry. This message has been edited by Siguiendo la verdad, 06-06-2005 02:09 PM

It's not a science board. I really hope we don't turn it into one. Science is a way to argue inductively. That's it. Life contains many things outside of it. Name one thing life does outside of science.

I am requesting that a thread (or threat) be created for the sole purpose of question-answer only. I know that Faith is now restricted from the science forum, but I think you guys are a bit harsh on her. If she honestly want to see the "other side", more power to her.
The questions that she raised in her proposed new topic post here are, I think, not that bad. I say create a thread (or threat) in the science forum for her and restrict her to only that thread (or threat). God forbid, there might be hope for her soul, amen.

I agree with GAW-Snow, except that I wonder if it should be a special forum. Or perhaps two forums, one for questions on science issues and the other for questions on faith/religion issues.
I'll describe how it would work for the answers on science: Anybody could propose a question, or a small series of questions.The discussion in the thread would be limited to the question(s) in the OP. The originator of the thread, and others from the faith side, could post asking clarification. But they may not make any faith-based challenges of the answers given by those on the science side. Those on the science side may answer the question(s). They may also ask (politely) for clarification of the questions. They may disagree with one another (part of the self-correction of science) provided that this disagreement is in the direction of answering the questions in the OP. The originator of the thread will always be treated as if on the faith side (while within this thread). Even if a scientist proposes questions, he/she may only ask for clarification and may not challenge the answer given. Topics should go through PNT, mainly to ensure the clarity of the questions raised. Comments: So far Faith's Some mutations sound too good to be true has worked out well. Similarly Purgatory is an example of a question on faith issues that might have been handled this way. The moderators gave Faith a hard time proposing her thread (for admittedly good reasons). I think it should not be that hard.

It's a suggestion worth considering, but this doesn't quite fit the purpose of this thread. I'm going to copy this post to make a new thread. Let's discuss the matter there.

I see what the admin means...
I'm not even sure myself that I was intending to launch a 'discussion' with this. I just thought it was a great article and felt like sharing it. Maybe it would be nice to have a thread with articles (or posts, but those would probably end up in the "post of the month") which are good at illustrating the magnificence of the idea/theory of Evolution. Or articles that present it in a novel/original context/approach. The kind of representations that make people interested/fascinated. Articles that would be considered excellent promotion for the whole evolutionary paradigma. (?)

I think that with a title change it would fit nicely in Links.
If you can suggest a better title for it I'll move it over to Links for you.

Re: regarding thread "Nicely put" I think that with a title change it would fit nicely in Links. If you can suggest a better title for it I'll move it over to Links for you. I still like the idea of a "Evolution worded in an novel, inspiring way"-like thread more. Also because the article that I got the fragment from, is much longer and not actually about evolution. So to link to the entire article would render it sort of off-topic IMO.
