I think, if a creationist were to join the site with the aim of simply joining the discussion (rather than refuting evolution), they could actually have a reasonably pleasant time. But that is not the way most creationists approach the site.
LOL. You gotta be kidding, NWR. (here it comes)
I can't believe you said that.
I didn't come here just to listen and say, "yes, yes, amen, amen." I came here because I know by personal experience, by historical data relative to fulfilled prophecy and by logic that the Biblical record has evidence verifying it's validity. I came here like little David when he came to the battlefront to deliver lunch to his warrior brothers. He observed the opposition who's giant appeared to be invincible and needed to be dealt with before Israel could advance.
I came, first to assess the battle/debate; then to engage in debate, learning by setbacks, mistakes and positions of the opposition how to engage more effectively and then to move more aggressively to the offensive. I remain, being ever more convinced that the Biblical record is more compatible with the basic laws of science, with the historical record and with proper interpretation of all that is observed, particularly the complexity of existing things indicative of intelligent design.
Nobody will ever be able to claim victory (in this life), but as iron sharpens iron whether we all agree or not, we all become wiser and more knowledgeable having mixed it up in these debates.
Nothing could be more boring for the choir or the preacher than for the preacher to be preaching to the choir. I tried some creationist sites. Most show more as much or more bias by the majority POV in comparison with EvC. By and large, the level of membership intelligence at EvC surpasses most debate boards which I've visited.
Besides, NWR, you all would be bored to death and leave if all we creationists did was to have congenial little
cake and icecream parties here
joining in with you infidels and ne're refuting your godless, naturalist and secularist ToE positions, Jehovah being blasphemed and his Biblical record being undermined. Without evolutionist debate EvC (evolution vs creationism) would've withered away and died long ago.
