Did you write the book?
Why BELIEVE that it will rain today when you can KNOW that it might rain today. Belief is unnecessary and illogical. A moral person is a person that understands that the universe does not revolve around their ego. A civilized society is a society whose laws do not revolve around any one person or group of people.The more a society treats everyone as equals the more civilized it is.

Pointing to something written by you and edited by you is not very good evidence of anything except the fact that you might have written the material being referenced.

If you are the author of your own source and wish to discuss your own source here, it is imperative that you discuss the evidence behind your source. Otherwise, you are simply spamming and trying to plug your work. The reason that your initial thread was not promoted was in part due to rules against spamming. Forum Guidelines If you do not wish to provide evidence, you must at least attempt to provide a conversation. That's what we require in lieu of spam. Edited by AdminPhat, : No reason given.

Your story keeps changing and your excuses keep getting thinner and thinner.
I didn't even provide a link to my article in the original thread that got closed. So how in the world do you call that spam? I was told that the thread was closed because I didn't provide a link to the original article. Now I am told that if I had provided a link to the original article that that would be spam.

Get beyond all of that. I am not here to argue with you nor is anyone else except in the context of your topic. Do you wish to have a discussion with our members or not?
granpa writes: RAZD simply asks you to begin a discussion and answer four questions. If you cant even do that you are wasting everyone's time. I started an entire thread to answer those exact questions and it was deleted. I just posted a link to a page answering those exact questions and I'm told that that's not acceptable either. Now you are demanding that I answer the exact questions that I was trying to answer in the first place. Edited by AdminPhat, : No reason given.

Let me give you another perspective from myself as a member rather than an administrator. Here at EvC we have two basic discussion lines of argument/persuasion. Science, which requires evidence.(and not the Bible as evidence either) or Faith/Belief in which you can assert anything you want, but must provide a clue to your reasoning.
As I review your links, I have some questions. You started a thread at Religion Wiki. At-a-glance/The Flood2. I am taking the time to read your links...which is actually not expected from our members. Lets say you were a famous author. You arrive at a college for a Q&A Lecture. Are you simply going to encourage the audience to read your book or will you take the time to explain yourself during your lecture? Do you see my point? Anyway, at this link, you seem to be conflating evidence as directly from the Bible. For purposes of discussion, the Bible is not sufficient in and of itself to be a source of evidence. In this article, you also begin your narrative with basic assertions.
Wiki writes: Yet I can't find links to your evidence. There is geological and paleontological evidence that Earth rotated faster and that the Moon was closer to Earth in the remote past. Tidal rhythmites are alternating layers of sand and silt laid down offshore from estuaries having great tidal flows. Daily, monthly and seasonal cycles can be found in the deposits. This geological record indicates that 620 million years ago there were 4007 solar days/year.Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith

I don't think much of this guy, but lack of references to moon recession is arguably valid. His numbers are at least close to correct. The phenomenon is well known in some circles, and the claim that it disproves an old Earth is an ancient PRATT.
The Recession of the Moon TL: DRthe recession rate is not constant and was slower in the past. Edited by JonF, : No reason given. Edited by JonF, : No reason given.

You have never replied to the evidence I presented in Message 8 that shows there was no flood in historic times.
Are you willing to debate this issue?Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge. Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein In the name of diversity, college student demands to be kept in ignorance of the culture that made diversity a value--StultisTheFool It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers If I am entitled to something, someone else is obliged to pay--Jerry Pournelle If a religion's teachings are true, then it should have nothing to fear from science...--dwise1 "Multiculturalism" demands that the US be tolerant of everything except its own past, culture, traditions, and identity. Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other points of view--William F. Buckley Jr.
