Evidence for God from Science

Several moderators will be stepping down. Not sure when, as some will be leaving sooner than others, so...

Let me be the first to announce that I am stepping down. My powers will soon be stripped. The running of the board is now in Hana's safe hands.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this board over the years and helped me to develop the views and positions I currently have. No doubt, lurkers from the distant past who no longer post, may re-visit and get to read this. It really is just time for me to move on, but I'll check in here and there.

Wish everyone the best and hope to see the board grow further without the quality becoming diluted. My focus was always on helping to grow a quality board rather than quantity. The diversity of opinion has increased, but despite this the quality of posters who are now here and who have contributed in the past look second to none.

All the best!

Wishing you the best K, thank you for keeping this place tidy and up and running, you did a great job.

Thank you K.

Will miss your insight and calm reasoning. You new rank suits you.

Silvertusk.

Let me be the second then to announce that I too am stepping down. Like K, I feel it's just time to make room for fresh blood. My time as a mod here has allowed me to grow spiritually beyond my wildest expectations. I hope and pray that I was able to contribute a tiny fraction in return.

Those who I've agreed with over the years, know that you have helped me sharpen my beliefs. Those who've disagreed with me (and there were many), know that I am forever grateful for your honesty and look forward to continue disagreeing without the perceived threat of authority hanging over my head.

Thank you all,

John.

You guys will still be posting though, right?

Kurieuo,

Sometimes I take for granted the things that people put a lot of work into to keep running. Maybe your role as board administrator gets overlooked unless there's a problem with the board. I'd just like to say Thank You for keeping this board running as smoothly as it has. I do appreciate all the work you have done over the years.

Even though you are stepping down as a moderator, I hope you will still be sticking around to post. You have been a very important part of making this board what it is today.

Byblos,

I want to thank you for your patience with me, and the humility you have demonstrated towards me in all of our discussions. Especially the ones where we have vehemently disagreed. Thank you for taking the time to address all of my concerns, and thanks for hitting me over the head and waking me up when I needed it.

I look forward to many more open and honest discussions with you in the future.

I'm glad to call you a Brother in Christ, and a friend.

I too will be stepping down as moderator, although I've promised to stick around a little later than the other just to help the newer mods transition. I will not be leaving the board. I've been a mod for 6 years and my participation has waned the last while below what I think someone on the moderating team should maintain and I think it's important for "new blood" to become involved and there are a lot of committed people who deserve that opportunity to serve.

Just to assure everyone here, while it's unusual to have several step down at one time, there's nothing unusual taking place behind the scenes. It's just time for several of us and it's a good time to transition with several who are willing to take on that role and there being no major issues taking place.

I am grateful as well for this board and those who participate, both current and past. This has been and will remain as I revert to simple community member, a place where I have been challenged as well as free to share and it contributes to my life and spiritual growth and for that I am very grateful.

You're not rid of me yet, but I will stepping down over the next month.

I will also be stepping down as moderator. This was my second stint as a moderator in my time here, and I am thankful for the opportunities I had to contribute.

To echo what the other ex-moderators said, the board was a blessing to me for many years and helped me grow in my faith and apologetic. It offers a great environment for Christians to interact without the distraction of the Dawkinsian kindergarten atheists.

I will also add that it has one of the strongest prayer communities I've ever seen, and that we witnessed many a miracle here, not necessarily just because of the prayers offered here, of course, but I do believe it contributed. As Christians we are told to share our burdens, so I want to encourage you to do so, also here.

May God bless all of you.

You guys are killing me! I haven't been this sad since Seinfeld went off the air.

You guys will be missed, you all been around for a long-long time and life's issues intervene. On that great day of the Lord, you all will receive great rewards for all your work, time, help, aid, prayers here. This is a mission field. The parts you played here were all ordered of God for you to be that one person who changes so many lives, transforms so many out of darkness, brought healing to so many souls, provided answers, influenced, helped save so many people...

Well done!

Bart, Byb, August,

You have all done a great great job here. I haven't seen such a nice board, yet, which I know you all took great care to maintain and keep it that way. My sincere thanks to you and best wishes. I learnt a lot from all of you for which I am gratefull.

Though you guys are stepping down, I sure do hope that you will stick around and be here, time to time.

This is indeed a nice board. Thank you for all your work here.

People use to say: "Something ends but something new begins."

Don't be sad Rick, you have me now.
