so I can't tell you when to censor. But!
It is my Philosophy, to stay on topic, that censorship such as yours is based on fear. Example; Some things you posted to me after I said I was a creationist. Although I never mentioned a creator, you jumped to a conclusion. "Why would a creator create species to go extinct?" and "And when those species are "between" two living species what does that mean to a creationist? Did your
creator screw up?"
In my Philosophy, creation doesn't necessarily mean Creator. You claim to want scientific "facts" yet you don't believe in a creation? All the facts point to a creation, ask Hawking. Once you get to the moment of the Big Bang science stops. It is your Faith that you based your belief on if you don't believe in a creation.
Or maybe you believe in a creation event, but don't believe in a creator. But, then again that is your faith deciding that. What evidence does science have that points to a non-existence of a creator?
But as I said, it's yours and you control it. I guess the only facts you are really after are the ones you say are Facts. And philosophy is what You decide it is, and we should try and pick the books You want us to read. And the "two" sciences, I still haven't figured that out yet. "Thinking and reasoning" based on the scientific method is a tough one. What kind of scientific method did you use to come to this conlusion "I don't find theological discussions to be useful since they deal with
speculations on the unknown based on wishful thinking."? You saying there is no creator is based on what scientific method? That is not a wishful thinking attitude you have?
Censorship at it's finest.
