Please Address the Topic
Hi Beretta,
I know you're getting lots of help going off-topic, but it all seems to begin with you, so here's the deal. In this thread, please do not mention evolution or any evidence related to evolution. Address yourself specifically to the topic, describing positive reasons why ID should be taught in science class, and absolutely avoiding to complete exclusion negative reasons why evolution is wrong. Each failure to follow this request will receive a 24 hour suspension.
There are plenty of threads that address the problems with evolution, please use one of those if that's what you'd like to discuss. The broken link from Dwise1 has been fixed, you can go to that thread if you like, or choose from dozens of others, or propose a new thread over at [forum=-25]. Only post to this thread if you'd like to discuss why ID should be taught in science class.

Alas, poor topic! What to do?
Hi folks!
Beretta shows no interest in addressing the topic of this thread, but the lesson of his several suspensions indicates that he's simply going to continue to ignore moderator requests to stay on topic.
I can suspend Beretta for longer and longer periods of time until he either begins staying on topic in threads (unlikely) or he gives up and goes away (likely) or the suspension becomes permanent (unlikely in the absence of abusive behavior), but losing a member just because of inability to stay on topic seems extreme.
So I think I'll just close this thread. If anyone ever shows an interest in actually discussing the pro side of teaching ID in science class then this topic can always be reopened, or another thread can be proposed.
I will not take sides in this discussion, but because I'm closing this thread before anyone has had an opportunity to reply to Beretta's last set of messages, I want to make it clear to anyone reading this thread that the absence of responses to Beretta should in no way be taken as an indication that his arguments have carried the day. The truth be known, beyond declaring his position, he never actually addressed himself to the issue of why ID should be taught in science class.
