Let's face it. The average creationist can't even understand the basic concepts of physics and cosmology. The few creationists that have boldly taken positions in cosmology in the past have been disturbingly "wise", as was defined by CHRIS PORTEUS jr as "a hard laborer that perhaps lacks education and only has a few simplistic beliefs but does not question those beliefs is wise."
My head almost exploded when I was dealing with desdamona. Ever since the admins started not allowing crackpots to post anything they wanted here, we suddenly started seeing a decrease in the number of crackpot ideas about cosmology. Coincidence?
Personally, I'd prefer to have a humor cosmology forum just so the creationists could post their ideas there. That way, I don't have to worry about my blood pressure shooting off the roof again.

Re: But..
You are right. I just looked at it here, for those of you that don't know what we are talking about. I couldn't really think of any reason why it was rejected. It wasn't vague, as AM implied.

So either rename the forum or allow us to debate on Biblical creationist supernatural assumptions as set forth in our Biblical ideology.
If you want to make assumptions as legit debate tools, might as well allow us evo to have unsupernatural assumptions. Heck, might as well allow just about every crackpot assumption known to man as legit debate tool.
You have to draw the line somewhere, and cold hard fact is where I put my money at, not assumptions.

Why? Bush is a right wing nutcase.

Sometimes, I admire Brad for his ability to make me feel so stupid like this. Here is what I read in his last main paragraph:
Brad writes:
It is because of the *strong* molecular representations we have and can have here at EVC ,unlike other boards, (which is a good thing) that makes it possible to think that a "great" debate would be appropriate where I think I can say both me and JD would disagree. It was clear EXACTLY why I had problems at Cornell(Stan and I never explicity discussed canalization but Provine thought that the 50s/60s period was necessary to understand embryology. He was wrong. Smallhausen and Waddington started all that that information gains from the knowledge needs today(regardless of computers). Dawkins makes the distinction (between recipe and blueprint embryology) but gives the fox till 2050 for him(RD) to make a recipie criticsm or any energy division no matter how arranged before then. The date WAS 1551 as Gould had it instead.I'll open this parenthetical later if at all). I will address this later if I can exact my hedgehog spines from the opening image in my mind. I however have NOT had my gradfather's thoughts which did not change since 54, for sure!
This is what I understood from it:
