Creationism and Forums

Some thoughts/points on creationism and the 'debate' on internet forums..

1. 'Creationism' is a broad subject, and has been the default belief for millennia..  probably still is, in spite of the concerted propaganda campaign by progressive institutions.
2. Nobody 'owns' creationism.  It is not a personal ministry, or a vehicle for significance.  It is a Possibility,  in a world of confusion,  death, and deception.
3. This subreddit has had to limit participation,  or hordes of hecklers would disrupt it and render it useless, as a vehicle for communication.
4. Personal beliefs, blended with science, are impossible to separate.  But corrections based on beliefs  are just different perspectives.
5. If a mod (or anyone) feels compelled to correct someone for a perceived flaw in science or reason, the 'debate' prohibition has been breached, and the issue is (or should be) open for evaluation.
6. Posting declarations of opinion, with no supporting evidence, is a subjective opinion,  not a rebuttal.
7. 'Apologetics', is not really part of creationism..  perhaps in the more specific, 'Biblical creationism', it is.
8. Fear of anti-Creator heckers and ideologues, or trying to please or placate them, is futile.  Truth and science SHOULD be the goal, not appeasement.
9. Creationists do not have to agree on every point of belief.  The scientific evidence for creation should be the focus, not religious implications or extrapolations.
10. There is nothing to apologize for, in the creation 'debate'.  It has been the default belief for thousands of years,  and still has the vast majority.  The few atheistic naturalism Believers, though vocal and militant,  are a minority.
11. /r/creation is beyond anyone's single interpretation, or agenda.  Mods are/should be, caretakers, to preserve the integrity of the forum, protecting it from ideologues of any flavor, and from hecklers bent on destruction.
12. Personality, or style points, are irrelevant in such a forum, predicated on the defense of creationism.  Facts, Reason, and Science should be preeminent.
13. Hecklers from competing subreddits,  trying to discredit or mock creationism,  should be ignored.  This is for op eds, and information pieces, not debate premises.  Allowing to be baited into 'debating' the op ed is contrary to the mission statement of the forum.
14. Debate forums, even if they are thinly veiled attack subs, are the venue for disputes, not this forum, which is (presumably) a vehicle to present creationist arguments without the distraction of naysaying hecklers.
