so much for freedom of speech this doesn't happen in Ireland, or on aicn.com

especially considering you were unable to offer any valid scientific explanations for your views. links to other people's websites don't count. "standing on the shoulder's of giants..." and all that.

I tell you the earth is round because photos proove it. If I now post a link to such photos, do you refuse them with the argument I havent made the photos and "standing on the shoulders of giants" doesnt count?

why not forbid science related topics too?

You are kidding, right? What "scientist" element are you talking about? What does that mean, "scientist" element?

the pucker factor goes all the way up to 11.

So, you do believe Santa Claus brings the gifts at christmas? With the reindeers, down the chimney?

The same is true for atheists, they will also make the case for their views and reasons, so your initial point is obviously invalid.

Your only allowed as much freedom as the admins wish, on any forum.

Ok I can't play Devil's Advocate with someone who took a serious question and turned it into the debunking of Santa Claus. I guess the Easter Bunny will get his next. Have fun.

so you've based your believe on someone else's photos? you've taken someone else's word for it? "shoulders of giants" to be sure.

the element that thinks nothing of insulting the beliefs of others even when they can't explain their own. and why not forbid scientific topics if religion and politics can be banned?

So, why do you say there is a "scientist" element on these boards here that is only interested in insulting your beliefs while your beliefs have not been insulted at all? Whos belief has been insulted, with what statement?
