I will second that, it contains all you need to understand it, even includes all math to prove it, or disprove it if you are so inclined to try and find fault with it. Throughout the whole topic NN has remained polite and patient, setting a fine example of how a debate or discussion should be handled, JMHO. Edited by fearandloathing, : No reason given.

Even though ICANT likely won't be affected (by anything, ever...), I found NoNukes' post to be extremely helpful.

Thirded. I have been following that thread despite having given up actually participating myself.
ICANT is a lost cause. But NoNukes has kept patiently and valiantly presenting the evidence in a manner that even ICANT could possibly grasp if he were willing to even try. The post in question is the culmination of that endeavour and makes the continuation of that thread valid despite ICANT's nonsense.

Has the bias made this forum essentially irrelevant?
Message 167 This message is one example of cogently formulated messages in this thread airing what discourages creationist participation in the debates on this board.

Vehemently opposed
because Bolder-dash hasn't the slightest clue how the scientific community works as demonstrated perfectly in that post. Rather than deserving accolades, this post deserves scorn for once again putting forth the absolute lie that science is a "good-old-boys club" keeping the upstart opposition down. Science works through evidence and reproducibility. The highest honors in the scientific field come from proving the existing paradigm to be wrong, not from publishing just another paper that says the same old thing - the precise opposite behavior that Bolder-dash describes. I know you really want to think that Creation Scientists and others are just being held down by "the man." I know you watched Ben Stein's abomination "Expelled" and nodded to every single word. But you're wrong. Bolder-dash is wrong. The claims he makes and you support are lies, they are contradictions to easily produced facts, they do not in any way reflect reality outside of your hopelessly misguided minds. This isn't a PotM. It's just another PRATT. Edited by AdminModulous, : hidden content. this is meant to be a positive thread, not a place to rebut or editorialise.

Since I was the target of the post in question I will forgo the opportunity to describe my revulsion to this nomination. Let me just point out that the quality of the two posts now nominated differ considerably in both intellectual content and effectiveness. Juxtaposing the two shows well the proper debating style and considered presentation of the former, with the self-serving, inane, asinine, scatter shot bullshit of the latter. Opposed. Edited by AdminModulous, : content hidden. Let's try and keep this thread positive.

I am for NoNukes post, which was simple and thorough enough for even me to understand.

Author: Percy
Forum: Education and Creation/Evolution Thread: My HUGE problem with creationist thinking Message #: 100 At least one other person gave it a "5", prior to me. As I type this, there are 6 replies to a Mazzy message. Percy's is by far the best of them. Maybe a little snarky, but the snark was done eloquently. The other 5 messages range from OK to pretty crappy. Moose Professor, geology, Whatsamatta U Evolution - Changes in the environment, caused by the interactions of the components of the environment. "Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer." - Bruce Graham "The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - John Kenneth Galbraith "Yesterday on Fox News, commentator Glenn Beck said that he believes President Obama is a racist. To be fair, every time you watch Glenn Beck, it does get a little easier to hate white people." - Conan O'Brien "I know a little about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things, but I'm highly ignorant about everything." - Moose

That was me. At least one other person gave it a "5", prior to me. I am not sure if I would second this nomination, though.But then I am left with the fact that Percy's posts are frequently eloquent and pertinent in equal measure - but this often goes unacknowledged. I think I'll say "Thirded!", which is then dependant on someone else saying "Seconded!"...

It is a bit rare when we see a creationist presented with a good argument, and then accept that argument. While not necessarily posts of great ingenuity, Chuck77 is showing a lot of honesty and character that is refreshing in message 236 and 237.
