Not an Accuracy/Inerrancy Topic
This topic has no science or scholarship behind it. If anything, it would fit in Faith/Belief, but I need you to explain your sources of information, and I also need for you to explain why you believe this theory has any validity.
Why does the star have to have been anything other than a star?

Not Suitable For Promotion..
Sorry, but I am not inclined to promote you at this time.
Perhaps another admin will do so... so I am leaving this open for 3 more days.

Re: Christmas star
Now that your topic has been promoted, you need to be actively responsible for advancing the ideas set forth in it. Posts such as this one are not conducive. EvC is not just some giant blog where we can say whatever we want. Our topics actually need to advance ideas that are reasonably supported by at least one other source.

What Is A Discussion Board Anyway?

  • New Topics should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Keep them short and don't attempt to explain your entire point in the first post. Allow others to respond so that you can expand your discussion.
  • If you are warned by an administrator or moderator for any reason that is not explained in the Forum Guidelines you can argue your case here.
  • If you are not promoted, feel free to discuss your reasons with the administrator in the Proposed New Topics Forum who responded to your topic proposal. Feel free to edit and modify your topic and inform the administrator that you have done so.
    You may also take your argument here and get feedback from other administrators.
    Usually, we leave topic promotion to the first administrator that responds, unless that administrator invites others to comment.

    A Simple solution and a gentle rebuke
    You will note that I have restricted your ability to post new topics and am going to be watching you very closely. EvC is not your personal blog to argue endlessly with people without providing any support for your argument.
    I am going to give you a month to turn the other cheek and consider that you are not uniquely blessed with intelligence that some of our respected members lack.
    I believe that if you seriously want to learn something here, or even if you feel you have a calling to teach us something here, you will embrace the discipline and attempt to grow an integrity meter of your own.
    If not, there are many other places on the internet where you can argue to your hearts content.
    If you really want to learn how to be better at debate, you will hang in there with us.
