Re: Griz, many messages at "Reconstructing the Historical Jesus"
Moose, you beat me to it! I was also intending to nominate this for POTM, but I guess that I'll just have to settle for seconding your nomination.

It appears the auditorium is empty but this will give me the chance to present my argument and conclusions without interruption. Perhaps people will debate the issues at a later time.
Just because not many have replied, doesn't mean that no-one is paying attention. The historical Jesus is an interesting subject when stripped of dogma. I have very much enjoyed reading this thread and I appreciate the time and effort that Grizz has clearly put into it.

Chiroptera, at "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed...", on Nazism/eugentics
Author: Chiroptera
Forum: Links and Information
Thread: EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed - Science Under Attack
Message #: 136
A nice concise statement on why actions (possibly) taken based on evolutionary beliefs have no relevance to the validity of the facts and theory of evolution.
Moose
Side note from Adminnemooseus: That debate should not be happening in the "Links and Information" forum. That forum, as I see it, is a place for essentially bare links and not a debate forum. I'm not sure it's worth the storage space to move in now. In all, the existence of "L&I" is problematic. That said, no debate in this topic, either about the nominated message or the state of "L&I".
A further side note from Adminnemooseus: Let's not get frivolous about it, but aren't there more POTM quality messages happening than this topic indicates? If you find a message that you think is special in a good way, give it a plug in the POTM forum.

Thanks, and nominating Percy in "What is a Theory"
Thank you for the nomination of the Historical Jesus thread. I wasn't sure if there was any interest due to the long-winded approach or the nature of the topic.
Also, I would like to nominate a specific post by the member Percy in reply to the OP 'What is a Theory'. It would be hard to improve on this one.
What Is A Theory, Post #5
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Added subtitle (Thanks, and nominating Percy in "What is a Theory"). It's always nice to have name and topic in subtitle - Then that subtitle shows up in the topic message index which makes it easier to find in the future.

Percy -- The Impossibility of the Flood #39
I think Percy's Message #39 gives a very good analysis of the mindset and logical problems with the "scientific" ID side.
I hope a lot of creationists read that thread and realize, from reading my arguments for them and Percy's and Rrhain's arguments against them, why their way of doing things isn't very scientific.

Darwin loves you.
