Opening topic again...

Please note that comments not pertaining to the geology notes I have yet to post are off topic. If you want to have this discussion, move it to a new thread.We are waiting on Faith to accept the debate at hand, at which point I will post a brief summary of my notes to get things started.Please do not post off topic until Faith has confirm that they wish to continue.AdminIRH

I assume, and certainly hope, you didn't mean to say that when I've confirmed my wish to continue, then off topic posts may also continue?

Ah. Whoops. Not quite what I meant - I intended all off topic posts to end regardless.Also, I've tried to remove the "hypothesis" term from the thread title, but I don't have that particular moderator ability for some reason. I'm waiting on one of the other admins to do the job.Right then - it's one o' clock in the morning here, so when I get home from work tomorrow evening I'll begin posting my starting summary. And yes, there are lots and lots of fossils; thankfully Ireland has them in abundance.Admin IRH{edited for spelling}This message has been edited by AdminIRH, 09-12-2005 01:10 AM

I thought that we were discussing terms. This should be important since you are not actively participating in the planned discussion.

​

I think my previous post expressed my displeasure at the terms and I therby declined active particpation. I have been down this road with Faith too many times.

I understand that, but I feel that the discussion will be bogged down in debating terms. Seeing as that's apparently been done to death already, I think we can dispense with it here.So far, Faith's only demand is that we do not berate her for automatically assuming a literal Genesis. That, and the request that we do not use the term "hypothesis". So far, this is reasonable; this is, after all, a thread to allow Faith to develop Flood explanations. Anyone who has a problem with this should not involve themselves in the discussion.Thank you for understanding this, and bowing out.AdminIRH{edited into admin mode; I'm really getting mixed up lately between my two IDs}This message has been edited by AdminIRH, 09-12-2005 01:18 AM

The last page of posts have been off topic and contrary to what I originally asked for, i.e. that only 3 evolutionists AT MOST get involved here. So far I've counted DBlevins, paisano, deerbrah, Annafan, Rahvin, and NosyNed. DBlevins has asked to participate, so the rest of you can draw straws or something for the last two spots.I am also annoyed that Faith decided to start an off-topic discussion here while waiting for me. My stipulation of no off topic discussion extends to ALL who participate, no exceptions.

Faith, you do not need to respond to off topic posts in this thread, and I ask that you immediately take the discussion to another thread. If you must answer them, do not do it in off-topic posts here. It is a very simple thing to cut and paste the posts in question into a new topic.We are not dealing with the reasoning behind your argument precisely because it has been discussed in other threads, and I do not want such a discussion derailing this thread.AdminIRHThis message has been edited by AdminIRH, 09-13-2005 12:00 PM

Let's keep the thread on target please. No more off-topic posts pertaining to that particular discussion.And Faith, please take as long as you like to respond. As always, we appreciate quality rather than speed.AdminIRH

Closing this thread due to off-topic posts...
