1. was any attempt made to enforce rules of courtesy?
2. without any difference of opinion, where is the discussion? I've left
lists with too few creationists and too many evolutionists out of sheer
boredom.
3. ID (and creation "science") both claim to be science. Science is
constantly exposed to the possibility of "noise and raspberries" it's part
of the scientific system of peer review. If ID can't survive even the
extremely informal peer review on a list such as this one, how is it *ever*
going to hope to be taken seriously as science?
It's up to you if you want to belong to a list full of self-congratulatory
agreement. To me that would be as dull as ditchwater. You can't learn
anything from people who know everything you know.
