Thread moved here from the Coffee House forum.
When I first saw this topic, just prior to the forum down time, there were a lot of messages that seemed to be mostly just taking cheap pot shots at creationists. I was probably going to close it down.
Now the forum is back up, and things seem to have gone at least a little bit towards real discussion. My impression, however, is that the topic's still looking pretty crappy.
Anyone care to try to bring the quality level up?

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Source
