At the moment there is no known source for information (successful communication) in the universe.

Utter and complete nonsense. Natural selection, among many other processes, is such a source. People need to learn the basics of a topic before they attempt to "contribute" to it.

It never ceases to amaze me how many creationists (yes, that's right, I used the "C" word) try to critique evolutionary biology without actually understanding the most elementary things about it. Most of the "gaps" they try to "fill" with creationism aren't even gaps at all -- it's just their own misunderstandings about it.

Newton had his own "god of the gaps," which were later explained scientifically. God of the gaps is nothing more than pessimism about the future of scientific discovery and an excuse for not researching further.

I know you don't want to engage either betty boop or me in a discussion, Ichneumom.

On two separate threads you have demanded that neither she nor I address any posts to you. You threatened betty boop that if she pinged you again, you'd complain to the Admin Moderator. And yet, here you are, on my thread making a post to "all".

I cannot abide that a poster must suffer another posters' assertions while under an obligation not to respond.

So what is the official policy in this circumstance?
