If ya wanna join ya gotta accept Article 1. That's about it. We are gonna have hats with propellers and other neat things. Oh ya, girls can join too. Check out the thread about creationism and evolution if you want to see how the club started. There are about four or five charter members. Oh, ya, no dues either.

I think he has come up with the best way to pad our charter. Just say the same thing 5-6 times, but with slightly different phrasing each time and one of them (3 or 4) should say exactly what the preceding one said, but translated into Spanish.

I'll join. When do I get my hat? I'll be a lazy member. I'm lazy and won't do much accept argue with ignorant people on both sides of the issue when I'm bored now and then.

Should we have an official stance to as if intelligent design is taught in highschool? I'd actually perfer we didn't have a stance since it would divide the group. I can see people intellgent enough to realize that God and evolution aren't imcompatible, but who have different ideas on what should be taught in science class.

Your club remindes me a little of the American Scientific Affiliation. Though it has some major differences. The ASA is an organization of Christians who are scientists (so you have to be both a Christian and a scientist to join). But they do not take an official stance on the evolution vs. ID debate because they recognize the two aren't exclussive. Though they do allow individual members who feel that their interpretation of the Bible excludes evolution, but they at least recognize that one can believe in God and evolution if they interpret the Bible differently. I don't know a whole lot more about them, but I think they mostly get together to debate theology and science. Though I think they have other purposes that have nothing to do with evolution.

Are you saying science doesn't deal with the supernatural, or that science proves the supernatural doesn't exist?

I don't want to put words in the mouth of the original poster, but I'm assuming he means that science doesn't disprove God. I don't think he means that science is able to deal with the supernatural.

No, no, my dear friend, I don't disagree with you. In fact I probably agree with you. But I don't want the intent of the club to be diverted into other areas. I think that Article 1 really says it all:God and Science do not exclude each other. Both sides of the religion, science debate tend to want to find things to fight about which really does not help science or religion. In the past science and religion did not oppose each other they worked together. The sciences you mentioned have opened vast areas of human understanding in especially the past 180 years or so. Religion has in many cases not done the same. But that does not mean that the two should exclude each other, only that religions that are current and popular today have reached the bottom or cellar of their influence.

This is the name: We Can Compromise Because We Haven't Been Brainwashed. (Not a very exciting name I know, but the person who thought up the name was tired.)

Article 1: We are people who believe that God does not exclude science and science does not exclude God.

If ya wanna join ya gotta accept Article 1. That's about it. We are gonna have hats with propellers and other neat things. Oh ya, girls can join too. Check out the thread about creationism and evolution if you want to see how the club started. There are about four or five charter members. Oh, ya, no dues either.
Yay! Can I join.

Article 2: In cases where God/Religion and Science directly contradict (such as literal Young Earth Creationism vs. Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy and Geology.) Science will hold sway.

Without that, I cannot consider this club.

I would oppose such an article.

I accept Article I, but I don't like to join clubs and I never wear propellors. Can I be a club guest -- just stop in now and then, drink your gingerale, say "here, here" or "nay, nay" now and then, and use your bathroom?

EDIT: I'll bring chips.

You know if they put that Article in, this would turn into a very large flame war. And isnt that contradictory to Article 1?

Oh, as a rational anarchist, I agree with Article 1. Mind if I join?

I think we can vote on that. Club members what do you think.

I just got back from Turtle Mt and I am happy to see that the club has been active. I was in a sweat lodge last night and i would love some ginger ale and cake.

I thought we had an article 2 - Evolution does not disprove the existence of God and the existence of God does not disprove the validity of Evolution.

or something like that.

EDIT: Yeah, here it is:
Article 2 proposal (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9854645&postcount=18)

I think my wording is better than the original post due to the baggage the words "creationism" and "Intelligent Design" carry with them though.

I would say that beyond my proposal, no more articles should be permitted, otherwise we become like congress, mired in our own rules. :)

This has nothing to do with me or with debate. All I did was ask a question, and I wasn't even rude about it (unlike you, newbie,) and no one answered with a reason. What's so unreasonable about that, and why did you feel it necessary to insult me? Why don't YOU go elsewhere, since you don't seem to understand basic manners? No one likes a skulker who only comes out of the shadows to talk big.

Edit: Ah, now I see.

To be fair, in using the term 'newbie' to address svalbardania merely reinforces the idea that you are in fact trying to be rude, with your emphasis on the term newbie having the purpose of trying to reinforce your own superiority.

Have a nice day.

Ah, but I was merely responding to his telling me to get over himself. He initiated the rudeness and I responded in kind. So, while I do see your point, I feel I was justified in my response. I was indeed rude in my response to his rudeness.

My superiority needs no reinforcement. :D

That being seaid, I don't want to be a thread-party pooper.

I suppose I did sort of bring that upon myself didn't I.

But to be fair, you were pushing the point when it was obvious no one really wanted to reply to you. Previous posters had set out all the necessary details and you were just asserting superiority and demanding attention.
