Sometimes I wish Jim Robinson would double the Freepathon to create TWO separate FRs.
FR Modern Science (or FRMS for short)
This would have FReepers who believe in Science. However, we believe in classical science with proof and Q.E.D etc. Thus we Freepers believe in Moon Landings, Evolution, Earth being 4 billion years old etc. However, we believe that AGW is unproven theory etc
FR Biblical Sciences (or FRBS) for short
They would be Freepers who believe in Biblical based sciences.
Whenever a Freeper would then post an article, she/he would be asked if they wanted to post to FRBS or FRMS or both.
In case a Biblical Sciences article was posted to FRMS, the mods could TRANSFER that article (not zot it) to FRBS. Vice verca, if a Modern Science article made it to FRBS, the mods would transfer it to FRMS
This would keep both of us groups happy. We are all economic conservatives over here. Some of us are more modern science types, others are more biblical. Rather than get in flame wars and divide our Conservative movement, how about having two sub-boards?

Such a system is already in place and has been tried using the religion moderator’s guidelines, with scientism being classified as a religion and, hence, given religious protection on this forum. If you don’t think scientism is a religion, then why do you use the term “believe in Science”?
I agree, but what's ACTUALLY going to happen is all the FRMS Freepers are going to gradually get ZOTed over time.
Evolution is a myth. There is NOT one shred of evidence that flesh beings morphed out of a hot steaming pot of pond scum. The Bible nowhere hints or suggests this earth is young, that is a reactionary myth in an attempt to disprove evolution.
FR Modern Science (or FRMS for short)
Why just two? Don't you think there should be separate realities and separate worlds of science for blacks and whites, straight and gay, Christian and Jewish... ? Everybody's entitled to opinions but nobody is entitled to his or her own facts. There can only be one true history or true body of science.
I mean, tell me where you see anything about religious doctrine or what's non-modern in the posting above. I'm not into pushing religion. I'll RECOMMEND Christianity to anybody who ASKS for a recommendation but that has nothing to do with this topic.
What I DO believe is that evolution is junk science and that, as junk science goes, a spectacularly dangerous variety, that it has already caused enough harm and damage in the world, and that it is time to get rid of it.
You can pick any religion you want or any idea about the age of the Earth you want, but you need to understand that evolution is not intellectually respectable, and that ANY religion is a better choice including Voodoo and Rastafari. Neither Voodoo nor Rastafari require belief in infinite sequences of probabilistic miracles and zero-probability events.
