Re: ill start....
How is the link you provided an example of "Fascism of a Monopoly"?

Wrong yet again.
You claim:
It shows the preference given to the Hypothesis of Evolution as opposed to a serious thread of examining the corruptness of EvC Admins and Mods to give special treatments to evolutionists.
Sorry but as usual, you simply seem to me making unsupported assertions.
For the ease of the readers, here is the content of the link you provided:
Hello, i am taking an Evolutionary science class and need to make a presentation on the following topic,
"What was the evidence that was accumulating when Darwin and Wallace began their work that led them to start thinking about evolution?"
I will be checking this forum regularly and hope some one can help me with this. All replies are greatly appreciated, thank you guys.
The full thread can be found here.
Since this thread is open, and the other message has nothing to do with Fascism or Moderation, continuing to claim "the corruptness of EvC Admins and Mods to give special treatments to evolutionists" appears to be nothing more than you misrepresenting facts yet again.

And yet another example of wrong again.
You claim:
There is no reason that post should have made it into the biological evolution section. Unless..., the administration here is either proselytizing or it was an honest mistake. And we all know in our secret heart space that it's the former.
Let's parse your claim.
You seem to think that a question related to Biological Evolution ("What evidence, when Darwin/Wallace began work made them think of evolution?") should not go in the Biological Evolution forum. The possibilities were:
  • The Bible: Accuracy and Inerrancy. Since it has nothing to do with the Bible, that is out.
  • Big Bang and Cosmology: Since it is unrelated to either of those, that forum is out.
  • Dates and Dating: Since it was unrelated to either Dates or Dating, that would not be a good choice.
  • Geology and the Great Flood: Nothing in there related to either Geology or to the Flood.
  • Human Origins and Evolution: Nothing in the OP related to Human Origins so that would not be a reasonable forum.
  • Intelligent Design: Nothing in the opening post related to Intelligent Design.
  • Is It Science? Again, there was nothing related to that issue.
  • Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution: This is a catch all place for things that do not fit somewhere else.
  • Origin of Life: Questions about Darwin or Evolution have nothing to do with the Origin of life so this forum would be inappropriate.
That leaves Biological Evolution, which since the question does directly deal with Biological Evolution seems a reasonable choice.
If you can make a case for placing it somewhere else, please feel free to try to do so, but it's pretty clear that the placement was certainly reasonable, certainly not proselytizing.
Don't deny the truth. I wanted examples of how this applies and everyone that's posted has been off topic and made argument ad hominem. Yet no Mod to moderate, i'm not surprised.
Can you provide support for your assertion showing where my replies have been off topic or "ad hominem"?

Once again you are making false statements.
hilarious, it's kind of like how common descent is a story of fanciful imaginings that people actually believed are backed by a giant scary science facts but really its just insignificant god haters pulling strings.
As I pointed out to you both personally as well as in other threads here at EvC, the Theory of Evolution is accepted by many who do not hate god, who are in fact not simply believers but even US Christian Clergy.
The Clergy Project Letter has been endorsed and signed by nearly 11,000 US Christian Clergy.
It says in part:
We believe that the theory of evolution is a foundational scientific truth, one that has stood up to rigorous scrutiny and upon which much of human knowledge and achievement rests. To reject this truth or to treat it as “one theory among others” is to deliberately embrace scientific ignorance and transmit such ignorance to our children.
Since you have been informed of the facts and absolute proof that your assertion is false, repeating your assertion that "...really its just insignificant god haters pulling strings." is either willful ignorance, delusion or deliberate lying.
