Hi Chuck77,
EvC Forum is neither a creationist nor an evolutionist site. It is a science site. It exists to examine creationist claims that creationism (or ID if you wish) is science. It's a two way street, of course, and creationists are free to examine the validity of any scientific claim.
EvC Forum participates in the ongoing creation/evolution debate by providing a venue for moderated discussion. Those who follow the
Forum Guidelines have little difficulty here. The guidelines most frequently violated concern going off topic and incivility.
Many on both sides of the debate feel that at least some on the other side are morons and imbeciles, but the site is definitely dominated by evolutionists. In my own personal view I think this is because too many devout Christians come here after a life spent studying how best to follow Christ, while most evolutionists come here after a life spent studying science. Naturally those most familiar with science are going to feel most comfortable here.
The other big problem for creationists is their lack of unity. Evolutionists are united behind a body of research produced over the past couple centuries that tells us a great deal how the real world works, while creationists are all over the map, with the result that in many threads it is one creationist with his own view of things against a group of evolutionists all making the same points.
There also seem to be a significant number of creationists who come here filled with the holy spirit but with no ability to articulate arguments. You can feel their passion but can understand little of what they say, and that they're usually unaware that they're not making any sense can be a source of frustration for evolutionists. I'm puzzled why other creationists don't step in and say, "Dude, I'm a brother in Christ and even I have no idea what you're saying," but that almost never happens. I think that for many Christians it is most important that a fellow creationist is against evolution, and how much sense they're making pales in comparison.
In the interests of full disclosure, I'm also a moderator here, operating under the name Admin.
