Theology - I don't like the connotations, theology to many Christians I know is trying to make The Bible scientific, ending up trying to figure out how many angels will fit on the head of a pin.

 

Make sure that you have a dedicated forums for creationism vs. evolution, not because creationism deserves it, but so you have a creationism ghetto.

 

Check out other religious forums, to see what could be improved, I used to post in tcpc.org , but found it too theological for me, so you can learn by previous mistakes.

 

Don't expect perfection internet forums are in their infancy, we're all learning. It took almost 300 years for the Printing Press to reach the point where it could incite a political revolution - Tom Paine's Common Sense, it may be a century before all the great ideas we have now reach their apex.

Theology Forums may be more than most people can handle. The lawyer says we may need signed waivers.

 

WHY would you need waivers for a theology forum?!

Discussions about religion can become intense enough to cause hemorrhaging in the unprepared. Visit the new forum at your own risk!

I disagree completely. the suffix -ology has nothing to do with science. It merely refers to a disciplined study of something - of anything. Theology is no more science than Astrology or Mythology.

Is there any chance that we get to see the proposed forum structure and policy?

You'll see the whole thing in a few days, I think.

I was refering to how most people in those forums tend to use the word: http://tcpc.ipbhost.com/, and when a large majority do it that way, that basically is how the forum is structured {unless you have very severe moderators}.

I think our forum layout and rules make it clear what we mean.

Okay, the forums are open.
