The TRUE reason for the EvC controversy, and why it can not be resolved.

It isn't just moderators who will remind you of the topic. Members who are familiar with standard administrative practices here do it all the time, because they know that off-topic messages use up the 300-message limit of a thread, and threads that are persistently off-topic frequently receive closures, sometimes permanent.Most subthreads only drift gradually off-topic, and that appears to be the case here. The origins of the digression appears to be rooted in parts of Jar's Message 63, but it isn't clear how "God sacrificing His only begotten Son" is related to this thread's topic, which postulates that the creation/evolution controversy has no resolution. If you can tie Christ's dying for our sins into the thread's topic then please proceed, by all means, but otherwise it is best to take it to a more appropriate thread

From where I sit, this thread seems more like yet another example of why the creation/evolution controversy will never be resolved, but it is not a discussion of the topic. If the current discussion is the one everyone really wants to have then I see no reason to interfere, but it would be nice if the actual topic received more attention.

Hi Robinrohan,I think you must be looking at the wrong messages when you conclude this: The personal comment that's been mentioned came in your Message 74 where you said: In my reply I said that I felt that Christ's sacrifice for our sins needed explanation for how it tied into the thread's topic, otherwise it would be best taken to a more appropriate thread.

Please, everyone, I know that to many this from GFC must be a temptation nearly impossible to ignore, but please let it be, at least in this thread:
