Dear Neville,
Theological discussion is pointless because nobody is likely to change
their position to someone els's; all believe they are privy to the
truth. I have asked you many times privately and on the forum to
elaborate on what made you dump the Bible but to no avail. The Roman
Catholics, Protestants and the atheists, are all entrenched in their
respective faiths. As I have said before this forum would make more
sense if it stuck to purely scientific issues and exposing so-called
scientific explanations and theories. Regner seems to have given up and
those of us who were eagerly awaiting his challenges to his requested 5
points appear to be waiting in vain. The inevitable philosophical issues
resulting from successfully challenging MS science should be dealt with
elsewhere.
This forum would have far more meaning if a more concerted and organized
effort were made to bring in more people like Regner. There are also
many creationists who would take Regner's side. Sadly many of these
creationists belong to a creationist forum that refuse to allow
geocentrism to be discussed. This is a forum where the converted preach
to the converted; true lively discussion is stifled in these conditions.
ICR and AiG are probably the largest creationist groups that will not
consider geocentrism. I guess they think it will spoil their credibility
in the eyes of scientists! They should have nothing to worry about since
it is already a done deal! However these are the sort of people that
would spark a lively debate. I do know of other creationist groups that
may have members who would consider geocentric arguments. I may try and
check them out if it is going to be worth it.
Regards
Jack

Dear All,
It seems to me that the forum is stagnating. We are making no progress
on theological issues, nor any progress on scientific issues. In fact,
we have not even reached consensus on what is going on in the world at
present (and who, or what, is responsible for it). Also, many members
have gone, or remain, completely silent.
I am therefore contemplating closing the forum, to concentrate on my
own work.
Before doing so, what is YOUR opinion?
