  re-reading my last thread ".... my former faith, islam and tolerance" i can see my o.p failed to clarify the specific point i wished to debate.

  ( ironically i thought most posters were off topic).. now it occurd to me that i have joined this " discussion forum" but i have no former exsperience on discussion forums.

  (a very sad realization having been here a year).

  Maybe DJS..its not about winning but loosing points.( humility)

  And if we can't support knowledge with solid facts, its opinion only.

  Thanks DJS.

  That was great and diplomatic advice.

  My problem is i start a thread and fail to keep it on truck. So i miss the learning point i started the thread for)

  Now i often avoid threads when conflicts happen, and seem to become attacks and bullying. But i think this " avoidence" is wrong?

  Experts or non expert opinion on how we stand our ground and keep a thread positivly on topic.

  Reveiwing my " thread history" since i joined.

  A twenty one post thread = a two post thread.

  Page one:

  Tweny posts: 7 made a 2 page thread.

  Page Two:

  Twenty posts: 9 made a 2 post thread of which 2 made a 3 page thread.

  Page Three:

  Twenty posts: 13 made a two page thread. Plus threads of 3, 4, 5,6, pages threads.

  Page Four : All posts make a two page thread or more....

  So looking at my " Start a thread history" they have become more popular.

  Why?

  A) I think my threads are more about learning than teaching now.

  B) I am more balanced and the anger of having been manipulated has passed.

  Butof my 1628 posts i have never had a seriouse altercation with another poster.

  Maybe i compromise to easily?

  So what makes a good communicator who doesn' t compromise?

  is it the ability to communicate on, controversial subjects, unanswerable questions, bad spelling, trolls, non trolls, spellers, non spellers, ect ect...and learn and be wrong?

  Now it occurd to me that i have joined this " Discussion forum" but i have no former exsperience on discussion forums. (A very sad realization having been here a year)

  Anyway i think a discussion on communicating on a " debating forum" is a subject that we can all benifit from.( Please no comments on my spelling and pronouncination, i am doing my best)

  Evidence Regarding the Evolution of Cetaceans - Whales etc

  To gain a better understanding of the " evidence for evolution" i watched the video.

  I also read the friendly banter between Cofty and Kate.

  And i am like Kate, not convinced by the video, despite the " multiple facts" presented.

  Why is this?

  I think for some minds the video is neither absurd not factual, it just makes no sence.

  Why?

  Ultimately, the message in the material, answerd some questions but in my case with an "open" mind and not a " scientific" mind i could not understand the video.

  As an Artist i could explain this, by saying it took me twenty years to understand what " Piccasso and Klee" were saying with their Art.

  The voice of reason and the humun mind are very different.

  It was a hard challenge for me to learn the Swedish language. Some never do it. Some do it on months.

  So for many, that video and what the guy was talking about is hard to understand.

  I think if you believe in evolution you can respect some minds dont have the capacity to reason scientifically?

  As for me i answer the question on evolution or creation with a onw word question.

  this is a dangerouse thread.

  i dont want to damage the reputation of great people, unless there is evidence to refute " who they claim to be".. so how about a list of " great" people that may be imposters.. one:-elie wiesel: the most famouse holocaust survivor.

  designs:-

  I agree with all you say. But it it wasn't for the book "night" on the Auschwitz exsperience, none of the rest would have been possible.

  I dont want to damage a reputation, but i think the " non tattoo" should be clarified.

  This thread could become very controvetsial. Maybe suggestions on possible " great imposters" that we can independently research is better?

  Arthur Coman Doyle, and The Cottingley Faries, makes for some fun reading. ( Two little girls fooled a great mind)

  Evolution and spirits

  by Chris Tann in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  as of now iam making an unbiased examination of evolution.

  however one thing keeps me hanging on to the belief of a supreme spirit being; the existence of spirits.

  i have heard countless accounts of people who have experienced frightening encounters with evil forces.

  The dreamer, you say "...people are stupid

  Arthur Conan Doyle the author of Sherlock holmes, and the man responsible for the Brittish Navy having life jackets in W.W.2, was not a stupid man.

  Yet read about mr Doyle and the " cottingley Fairies". Great minds can be fooled. ( maybe if time permits i should include more details of this on my " great imposters" thread?)
