Notice about the intent of this topic!!!
Thread moved here from the Proposed New Topics forum.
NOTE THAT THIS TOPIC IS IN THE "COFFEE HOUSE" FORUM. THIS IS A "HOW TO DEBATE" TOPIC, NOT A TOPIC TO DO THE DEBATE.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR "CON-EVOLUTION" POINTS. WE ARE NOT LOOKING TO DISPUTE THOSE "CON-EVOLUTION" POINTS.
Well, this ought to be a fine mess.

Sorry about the "overwrite"
As I suggested before (before my additions to a previous post were overwritten by admin comments), ...
Not really an "overwrite" - I never saw your more recent edit. I do not delete others content, except in very rare exceptions such as spam messages. What happened is what happens if two people are editing a message at the same time. The one who submits last gets their version posted. The situation isn't helped if I had your message open for quite a while (which I may have done) before I actually did the edit. You may actually have submitted you edit long before I did mine. Again, sorry about that.
In hindsight, my reaction may have been an overreaction. But I saw much of the message as being of and heading towards turning the topic into a "why evolution should be taught" topic, or perhaps getting into the "pro-evolution" sides arguments. Or something like that.
Any replies to this message should go to the "General..." topic, link below.
