I learned the Golden Rule in Sunday school. About the same time I learned about the creation of the heaven and the earth... and of man. Have seen no reason to doubt it since.

"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened."

Well, if I were making an erroneous statement, I would expect to be corrected about it. If there were no personal attack involved in the response, I would certainly not feel the need to press abuse.

Several of us have risked banning to stand up and tell what has been going on. Do I want to be banned from this forum? No. But is it worth it to me to just step in line and pretend like some really bad things aren't going on here? It's not. I'm sorry that you want to address our concerns with sarcasm. I'm sorry that you apparently take others words for the alledged abuse instead of investigating it yourself. I'm sorry that one can't have a good discussion on creation/evolution without insults flying. You know, I was on the religion forum a few days ago and it has mostly turned to Catholic articles. Most of the religious debate is gone. The forum IS changing, and it's not for the better. As group after group fall away, the threads will become a chat room. Minds will not have the opportunity to solidify what they believe or even be convinced of something else because there will be very little diversity of opinion. That is a sad thing to happen to this forum, but it's coming.

I've spoken my peace. Unless there is something else that I need to respond to, I believe I'll skidaddle.
