I personally steer as far away from creationists as probably most of the atheists on here do. I think literal translation with no rational thought process behinsd it is as retarted as min does (assuming). Perhaps they'd be more willing to see reason if approached by a fellow theist, but I doubt it... I can try if you want.

I don't hold out hope for you.

Creationists I've debated on other forums don't consider you to be a true christian

if you don't believe in the genesis myth.

[tackattack]

Of course not you're an atheists, atheists have no faith

[Minimalist]

There are not any creationist churches within reasonable driving distance for me for Sunday. I will find a forum to get on when I get to work tuesday any suggestions?

Try this one.

The owner calls himself "archaeologist" although he knows jack shit about archaeology. He's a died-in-the-wool, global-flood, literal bible moron.

Tell arch I said 'hi.' Actually, tell him I said "fuck you."

[Ashes1995]

oh no they have an archaeology and the bible forum! thats not going to go down well, the two just dont mix!

I think we should all join and swamp his forum with common sense.

Them's fighting words! ^^ First you'll have to distract Adrian with impossible mathematical calculations, like find the square root of minus 9 and so on. Though I doubt you'd have much success with getting the douches to establish common sense, or evidently, 'not-so-common sense' after reading up on that websites rules and guidelines:

1. this forum is for the Glory of God, please keep that in mind as you post your opinions.

I still can't get over the absurdity that the site admin of a cretin dared to call his username "archaeologist". >.>

I did join and made, what I thought, were a couple of reasonable posts and I've now been warned for insulting people and threatened with a ban

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this as an admin with a position of restraint but, come on everybody, let's all pile over there. They only have about 40 members so I'm sure we could outnumber them in no time. But remember, we have to be respectful also

Thanks but I'll decline. I'd get banned within a week anyway because while I tolerate imbeciles, I draw the line at 'respect' for fools.

Respect has to be earned; it cannot just automatically be given, even with regards to authority figures. I have respect for minds such as yours, Tiberius and many others here who are intellectually honest and inquisitive about reality – it's the open-minded search for new ways of thinking that I admire.

Based on archaeologist's mindset for asserting that scientists and peer-reviews are "corrupt" and they need to be quickly eliminated, he's a complete and utter fucking moron (borderline religious fanatic), and I'd probably call him out on that. From every post I've read up on him, I'm of the opinion that he and/or his beliefs are undeserving of any kind of mutual respect.

Based on what I've seen we've got it better here since Tiberius starts discussions, whereas that bigot preaches.

[Darwinian]

I have to agree with you but somehow I've been drawn in and posted quite a lot. I think that I might beat your estimate of being banned after a week though, I'd say sometime today.

After positive lengthy discussions with a friend they turned around and declared a literalist position hrugs: I also entered into an exchange with someone from answers in genesis who came across as rational as a scientist and a christian. He didn't want to talk about it much

I'll be over later today Dar if you can hang out that long!
