That's what a censor does, he grants you the right under the 1st. Amendment to say what he permits, but check with him first for permission just to be safe.

Well said, count-your-change! The self-appointed "censor," however, has failed to detect the (logical) fly in the ointment....

It's a small point. To wit: Censors are unconstitutional in the first place, under the First Amendment.

Oh, these pesky details!!!

Cone on bb, you know you are being a bit disingenuous.

This isn’t about “censorship.” This is about ensuring science is presented as science and theology as theology and philosophy as philosophy.

Unless and until you can provide a forum for all creation stories/theories/etc. in a science forum (thus ending it as a science forum) you can’t make this a 1st Amendment issue.

You and AG (and a very few others) make erudite, interesting, engaging and thought-provoking PHILOSOPHICAL posts that deserve attention. But rarely do they pass the lower bars for inclusion into scientific debate.

It is like seeing a rock in the road and conjecturing on how it got there. Physics says that it fell or was placed at some point, based on the gravity constraints and forces applied to it at the time. Who tossed it what weather (or other) forces resulted in it are interesting and maybe significantly relevant but have no scientific currency.
