I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw the connection to the Hitleresque propaganda in this thread. I didn't mention it in fear of sounding melodramatic but that is pretty much the way this thread is sounding to me, too.

The Jews are destroying Germany!
The creationists are destroying ATS!

Get rid of the Jews!
Get rid of the Creationists!



It's even scarier seeing so many people applauding the O.P. Goodness gracious.

I always have to laugh at this debate. Its always struck me as a dog chasing its tail. Evolutionist believe that all is hapenstance and can be proved by the scientific method. Creationists believe in a supreme being supplying the many universes with everything needed. I hardly ever see someone mention that it very well could be a merging of both beliefs. Someone or something started this whole conglomerate of life and universe. Could it be that this something or someone is the creator as it is named by both parties? If we take the scientific method to prove anything nowdays its usualy bastardised into a **** consensus**** for a certain political motivation. Since a consensus is definatly not proof of anything but just opinions agreed upon then only one thing is left to facilitate the truth.....FAITH IN WHAT ONE BELIEVES...! Those with the faith of a Gods creative genius are no less correct than those with a faith in creative evolution. Neither can be proved beyond that which one believes. Evolution is fact but is it hapenstance or is it preplaned by who or what ever started it all??? Does anyone realy know for sure or are we at each others throats for our individual faiths on what is reality to us as individuals. We very well might be disagreeing for no real purpose. Our faiths may meld eventualy!!

Ownage?
You wish. You were labeling ALL evolutionists gullable.. it was blatently baiting people. That was your whole point and is your point NOW. I have REPETIVELY asked you not to talk to me as you ALWAYS make personal attacks like you have done yet again. It seems to be a compulsion with you.

Want to talk irrelevent offtopic history do you? Thanks so much for not inviting me via U2U to look at your other veiled insults directed at me. How about how you deliberately inlisted people to gang up on me and actually organised it publically on your [now edited] profiles? [Onward 'christian soldiers ] How about when you made a point of changing your myspace default pic to an insult directed at me and made sure everyone on ATS knew about this humilation? [which you then blamed me for..] How about how you take every opportunity to attack me personally like you just did EVEN THOUGH I have continually asked you to leave me alone and even though I have made a real atampt to avoid you? I did not mention you in my last post at all but you COULD NOT HELP YOURSELF and decided to launch yet another attack on me.

AGAIN: AshleyD: You know we do not get along. I have asked you to leave me alone several times before but I will try again: Please show some restraint and maturity and DO NOT speak to me.. I have had ENOUGH.

Understand?

thanks for proving the OPs point btw.

It is the nature of a "christian" to not realize how closed minded they are. Forgive them, for they know not they have sinned....haha.. you gotta remember man, they just do what the bible tells them to. If the bible told them to jump off a cliff, they'd do it, no questions asked. I mean, nevermind the fact that the creationism dates the dawn of civilization back 6,000 years ago, whereas the Great Pyramids in Egypt have been dated back, what...to 12,000B.C. ???? [Source: Fingerprints of the Gods by Garahm Hancock] Read a book. And I'm talkin about hardcore christians here. If this description does not apply to you then I am not talking about you, so don't take it personally.

It's called Scientology. And L. Ron Hubbard sucks at life. I wouldn't recommend falling for his dianetics. It's the only religion worse than Christianity.

And yes that was reactionary. Given a moderator has seemingly ignored her personal attack I'm guessing it's okay for me to defend myself..

Believe me, I am no damned L.RON.HUBBARD FAN !!!!!!
Your the closed minded here bud. What many have said here is true. To disagree with you is to be too stupid to form any opinon other than your narroww minded scenario. Seems you prove many points of disagreement with you and liberals as a whole!!

Zindo

I think you misunderstood me homes. I wasn't attacking you or anything. I wasn't suggesting that you are a scientologist. Chill dude. You just put all those words in my mouth off of one line I said. And what the hell are you talkin about?

[edit on 5/30/2008 by Mad_Hatter]

Does anybody else find irony in this above statement?

Not only do you smear an entire group of people, but you pass judgment on them by exemplifying the very trait you are alleging -closed mindedness.

Oh my, what a surprise...the Christians are the main ones ranting and raving in this thread... Again putting 2 cents in where it is not needed.

Yes maybe ATS can make up some special creationist stars that all Christians have to display on their avatar at all times?

Oh something like this perhaps...

Maybe we should make a special creationist forum or maybe a "camp" and herd at gun point - I mean politely escort all the creationists into their allowed special area. Also since they are ignoramus creationists they are obviously not fully humans like the superior Darwinist Atheist. I think perhaps we should donate a few of them as test subjects for evolutionary psychology experiments in special forum moderated by Asty himself. Here you can belittle and insult repeatedly the creationist even calling there Lord and Savior a fraud.... of course just to see how they adapt to their surroundings. After all... its all the name of good science.

No, that was in reply to the many posts in this thread that you have made. You've managed to denegrate Christians as a whole or any one who might have faith in a superior being. Your insults to those realy tells us volumes on your ability to surmise truth whether its creationist or bigbang theory.
You have an agenda and thats what this thread and the OP is taking about.
Zindo

Since when? That is news to me, and I am part of the staff. FYI is was first based in England. Now we see it as an international site.




Yes indeed. We value all opinions as long as they are discussed in a civilized manner. We are not all atheist or all christian. There are thousands of different people visiting and/or posting on this site every day bringing different ideas to the mix. Granted, some may not be as deep and well though out and researched as some of the threads of the past, but there are still gems to be found. I highly doubt that one small group of people will be able to dominate the forum. It's highly improbable IMO.

Well your religion steals aspects from other older more worldy religions..namely the hebrews and the buddhists and edits out what they deem not necessary. how am I closed minded? I am aware of what each religion is about and they all stem pretty much from the same source. So therefore bieng one religion is in fact bieng closed minded...why restrict yourself when you could see the big picture?

Didn't I just point you to a comment by Skeptic Overlord himself when he first launched the O&C forum? He stated point blank this forum is also for creationism-evolution debates as well as origin conspiracies. Why are you purposely ignoring that?

It's not off topic because you repeatedly use that same argument and I finally wanted to show you that it is an acceptable topic. So, hopefully knowing that it is acceptable to debate our origins in this forum and we have the go ahead from one of the owners will allow you to let it go.



Oh do tell! Please, Riley. Tell me who all I have enlisted to gang up on you. I assure you, I have done no such thing. So please let me know and be sure to give names and/or evidence. I can handle myself quite well and don't need to run to other members or mods for assistance.

And edited profiles? You are obviously lying about this accusation since we cannot edit profile comments from others. Sorry you just got busted falsely accusing me. Is that what you guys are having to resort to now? Lying to get us in trouble?





Oh please. I did not attack you personally, Riley, even if you think that is what is going on in your little bait-then-play-the-victim world. Addressing your arguments is not personally attacking you and I encourage others to go and read what I said in my comment to you on the previous page that was an attack against you. Go for it.

You have had it out for me since day one when we met after I came to another member's defense upon seeing you provoke her mercilessly. That is how this little feud between you and myself started. I hated seeing someone as nice as that member being antagonized for no reason, I stood up for her because she is far too nice and conciliatory to do it herself, it was obvious you were upsetting her intentionally and she was frustrated and hurting because you kept going at her for no reason, and you have detested me ever since because I didn't walk on egg shells around you like she was nice enough to do.

So please, please quit playing the victim. Nobody is buying it anymore.



Here is something from your own mouth:



From: HERE.

I have been warned previously to not talk about you in threads by the mods and that is fair enough. But if you ask me to not talk to you, then that is a request I cannot accommodate. Sorry, Riley. This is an open forum and I will address your arguments, even when you consistently take them as personal attacks for some unknown reason and try as you might to report me and get me in trouble. The facts speak for themselves.

[edit on 5/30/2008 by AshleyD]

You have to be a Christian to believe in a supreme bieng??? Is that what your implying??? hahahaha...oh lord. And I don't have any agenda accept to defend this thread against the lions who have come. Dude...you are TOTALLY missing the point of anything I have said. I can't help you.

[edit on 5/30/2008 by Mad_Hatter]

[edit on 5/30/2008 by Mad_Hatter]

No need to make disclaimers, Riley. I can handle it, have never reported you, and will never report you. That's a guarantee from my heart to yours.

My bad? Is creationism illegal in England now?

this thread is meant to discuss creationists destroying ATS, not personal issues between two members so let's keep the he said, she said out of it.

thanks.

As far as I know, creationism is not being taught in any science class in any school in Europe. The way it should be. Leave it for Sunday school.
