I'm still here...

You've passed the first test (of humor) my young earther friend, so officialy, welcome to the board.


Seriously though, 6,000 years? Really? Are you kidding me? (ok, ok, I'll stop now. It's just not fair considering I'm a mod).

Adam,

Considering that I've been called both a heretic and been insulted because of my gender by a very dogmatic YEC ("that's what you get when a woman starts thinking....")

AND

considering that I've been called a loon for believing in the Bible and God by atheists....(you shouldn't be teaching....they should fire you....")

I would say that it's not necessarilty what you believe that eould determine the welcome but by the strength of the arguments.

Actually, I can tell I'm really going to enjoy it here. I'm chomping at the bit to grill the Old Earthers from a couple of different angles but initially, I wouldn't mind sharing my testimony and dialoguing off of it. Where should I put a general discussion like this, if it's welcome? I'm a very transparent person and I'm always anxious to learn even when I'm fighting for my understanding. The truth is; only God has perfect knowledge and our best strides come from dropping our pride… And dropping it again…and again… and again…

I think ad hominem attacks are the best indicator that a person has run out of rational discussion. Keep up the good fight.

FRDB (formerly IIDB http://www.freeratio.org/vbb/) was the first Forum I ever joined a couple months ago. My screen name is the same there. The amount of name calling is interesting. It actually indicates that many people who call themselves "free-thinkers" are really usually just free to call on any kinds of slander to feel superior. I did find some who were interested in a healthy dialogue, though, just to be fair.

it is more than welcome, it's encouraged. You can create a new thread in the General Discussion forum and title it pertaining to your testimony.

Looking forward to reading it.
