I don't think I know what that means, but the position is adequately filled at this time. You can get on the waiting list though. (Personally, I think you should set your sights higher. You can do a lot better, m'dear.)

Sorry but could you explain the underlying reasoning of that?

I mean, you appear to be saying that nobody but believers can discuss religion or a religion or religious beliefs. So we can't even discuss Islam, for example. All those threads with hand-wringing about the state of the world due to the threat of Muslims are inappropriate from the start. If we're not believers, after all, what's the point? The entire field of comparative religions is also evidently nonsense. Throw out all those Joseph Campbell books. And get this: no more proselytizing, because people who aren't believers already shouldn't be discussing religion!

Seriously, you really want non-believers to stop discussing religion?

Does it also mean that believers should not discuss secular matters?

Maybe religious people shouldn't take part in politics!

Ooooooooooooooohhhh, this has possibilities...

Is this where I post the jokes making fun of Muslims again?
C'mon somebody! Prove that you're all equal opportunity cynics. Somebody tell a good Mohammed joke or a good Buddha joke!

When you realize that horses, zebras, and donkeys are probably descended from the horse-like “kind,” Noah did not have to carry two sets of each such animal. Also, dogs, wolves, and coyotes are probably from a single canine “kind,” so hundreds of different dogs were not needed.

How strange to read a creationist scholar make an evolutionary argument. Common ancestry is at the heart of Darwin's theory.

I had been wondering about dinosaurs too:

I realize it's accepted to read the story of the ark as symbolic of the wrath of God (and I agree that is the main theme) but is it not also an allegory of conservation? Sustainability?
