Perhaps BB & The Cosmos or Biblical Accuracy & Inerrancy forums for this thread? Any other suggestions?
The proposal would only be suitable for the religious threads unless the religious content was removed.

Gratefully, unlike some of you people, Son Goku has forthrightly responded to points which I've raised. I suggest you and others consider his model in addressing my points.
Please leave moderation issues to the moderators. If you are experiencing problems in a discussion and require moderator assistance please post to Windsor castle.
On this particular issue, my ruling is that math isn't required to discuss and understand the basic principles of thermodynamics unless claims are made that can only be explored mathematically.
Also, given that this thread is not in a science forum, there is no requirement to support claims with evidence, but neither can scientific status be demanded for such claims.

I guess if I asked you to "pls follow the fg", you'd say there's no such thing as "pls" or "fg"?
Given your history I'm giving no warnings. See you in a week.

I don't know how good a yardstick I am, but I couldn't derive 2LOT from first principles, either, and I don't think the request is reasonable. A more reasonable request would be to ask that the principles of 2LOT be understood.

Sorry I forgot to include the "Please, no replies," portion. I didn't intend to begin a dialogue.
Requesting derivation of 2LOT from first principles is not a reasonable request. Requesting indications that the principles of 2LOT are understood is much more reasonable. This is not a science thread, so although you can point to internal inconsistencies, supernatural explanations are acceptable here. Perhaps you can convince Buzsaw to drop the God part of his position and reintroduce the topic as a science thread.
Please, no replies.

Moderator Request
There is little use to requesting math about thermodynamics or quantum physics from Buzsaw and ICANT. True, they don't understand the principles involved, but it isn't because they can't do the math. There are tons of people who also can't do the math (an example of whom is typing this message) but who understand the principles (he hopes).
The request for math may score rhetorical points with the audience and pound home the fact that Buzsaw and ICANT truly have no idea what they're talking about (which make the dialogue between them all the more fascinating, if only from a psychological perspective), but if your goal is to convince them to question their views by getting them to examine what they can muster in support of them, then I don't believe requesting math is an effective route.
Please, no replies.

Both POVs have arguments pro and con as well as corroborative evidence to cite, neither of which constitutes falsifiability. Conventional science refuses to even consider mine or allow discussion and debate in media, conventional education, etc so mine is the only one of the two POVs which is not given consideration. That's why were here in Faith And Belief discussing it.
Actually, this thread is in [forum=-34], and I put it here because the opening post assumes the existence of a supernatural entity, Jehovah.
This thread is 75% used up. You haven't much time left if your goal is to make your ideas clear to others. If that's not your goal then just continue ducking and weaving.

Re: Big Bang Theory
I've been hoping I wouldn't have to intervene as moderator, but I'm beginning to detect rising frustration levels. This thread's about 85% done, so even if anything were to change that would make possible more productive discussion, there's too little time left for any great moderator effort.
So I won't try to influence the course of discussion in this thread too much. I'll just mention one thing and say that it will be very disappointing if you continue misrepresenting the views of your opponents by associating T

Re: Big Bang Theory
You might want to read Message 255 again. If you're not to be dissuaded from your current course in this thread then that's fine, I just want to be sure that the way you're moderated in the science threads in the future won't come as a surprise to you.
