It seems hardly worth looking in anymore. You guys are pretty good on Moderating here but this new proposed topic thing is IMO doing what I predicted it would, it is killing at least the Cosmology section.
Posting is wayyyyyy down.
Since this board has evolution in it's title, let the threads be naturally selected. They shall whither or flourish on their merits.
I just read the list of proposed topics and I saw one in particular that you chaps are holding off on for what seems like you guys don't know enough about the topic. That is a terrible reason not to post it out there.
Sorry, I have always respected you guys but you are killing this board it seems.
Respectfully Eta Carinae.
PS I know this isn't a new topic but I wanted you to definitely see it.
Delete it if you wish though i would like to see a reply or two from the Mods.

Maybe I'm mistaken but several other of the ..
sections seem much less active.
But the Cosmology forum used to be one of the more active and now it is often dead for 2 or 3 days at a time.
And as I said earlier the topics suggested are refused seemingly at times because the Mods don't know anything about it.
Plus a good crank post now and again livens things up.
Heck if you need a Mod for the Cosmology section I'll do it.

But..
I actually see genuine topics being refused.
I admit though, I miss the old days of letting people start topics directly. As I said above let natural selection take effect. No one was being hurt by it and at least we got to choose what was worth playing with and what wasn't.
QUESTION:
Why was the Bodes Law topic refused?

No buzsaw...
I just rail against people who apply bad science and try to say it is good science.
I do not attack someone who says the supernatural does it because I can disagree with that as unlikely but I cannot prove it wasn't.
But what I can do is turn the bad science attempts by Creationists around on them because they never seem to know any science. That is what I did with you for instance.
I cannot attack the supernatural, it is by definition outside of science and not subject to testing. I don't believe in the supernatural but you will never see me attack someone for positing that. I might accuse those arguments as being contrived or fantasy however.
Lam, thanks for the support on the Bode's Law topic whch seems a valid subject and has been refused for the wrong reasons.

I did not blow my top but...
I did get frustrated after 10 pages worth of posts and the fact it was obvious nothing scientific was going to sink in. And every other person chiming in on the thread agreed that you weren't getting it and that your posts showed you didn't even know what you were posting yourself.
And reading your current post you still don't get it.

Not really,
I was just reapeating the same material in different forms one the infinitesimal chance it might sink in - it didn't.
Face it buzsaw, you are not intellectually capable of handling science material. These days it is politically incorrect to say things like that but it doesn't make it any the less true. I posted the same stuff, post after post, rephrasing it, but it never sank in. You can't understand basic science never mind anything advanced.

Re: Not really,
But that isn't what you did really. You kept asking for things in a scientific framework not a Scriptural one.
And of course arguing science from a Biblical standpoint is stupid because the Bible is as useless as tits on a mule for science. You might as well stand there with a wet haddock in your hands as use the Bible for anything not pertaining to mythology or a spiritual guide.
What part of mythology don't you get?
