Secular Swarm Hey everyone, thank you admins for the invite. A few things about me, I'm 20, I live in Seattle, WA USA. I was starting an atheist activist guild on here but I have just been sitting on it not really doing anything with it. (ironic?) The bulk of my time is currently spent working on my website which is anti-religious in tone and I of course encourage people to checkout. wink It's still far from done, but you can see what I have going. Glad to see a new guild like this on Gaia, I'll be glad to hop in some debates. I hope this guild turns out well although I honestly don't think there is much to debate as far as the existence of a god... I see it more as ongoing failed attempts to try to introduce logic into the minds of creationists.
There's an introduction Sticky.
And there's a lot more productive topics to address than Creationism on here.

Hiya Secular Swarm,
Anti-religious or anti-Christianity?
Creationists in my opinion are driven by fear, it's not an issue of introducing logic it's an issue of finding out what exactly they are afraid of and addressing that fear in particularly by not unwittingly making it worse.

I think the most effective way to disarm a Creationist's opposition to evolution is to show them that it doesn't mean they have to reject, or take any less seriously, the rest of the Bible. That's how I was finally converted to theistic evolution.

Wow, I thought I was alone in this.
It's nice to see other Christians who believe in evolution.

Riiko..Izawa Nebulance I think the most effective way to disarm a Creationist's opposition to evolution is to show them that it doesn't mean they have to reject, or take any less seriously, the rest of the Bible.

Nope not alone smile
@ Nebulance: yeah I agree with that. Mike Huckabee before the primaries was asked about evolution and he made it very clear that he thought the question was asking him whether he believed in God or not.

I think both the theory of Evolution and Creation are both credible and I believe in both
