Have fun trying to educate them about evolution. But, I suspect you'll either get banned really fast, or get sick of the same tired old creationist responses to evolution.

Little do you know, I'm already sick of those responses.

Dear FSTDT, Do I want to attempt to join RR? I could even give them the chance to talk with a real live evolutionist. Sincerely, Your Friendly Neighborhood Mad Scientist I did that for a while, and had my existence pretty much wiped out from there. Well, they let me loose on an 'experimental' area where they only allowed chosen posters to have a go at trying to 'reason' with the heathens (aka myself and lithp). It ended after me and lithp got pissed off at them vulturing WinAce... A highlight of the hole experience was catching one of them out completely with knowledge of astrophysics. Man, that was some tasty pwnage...

Well, I've got the chemistry and biology, this should be fun, if they actually let me in.

The Vene on RR? I like the idea, you could really rock the boat over there. Unless, of course, they choose to ignore your arguments, and start attacking strawmen instead of actually responding to your posts. But nice, honest christians would never do anything like that. Anyway, good luck. Honestly, I think they'll ban you so fast that they make an anomaly in the space-time continuum.

Unless they ban you from the start, you start appearing to agitated, or you turn into a genuine troll, they won't ban you as long as you subscribe to their manner of argument, i.e., avoid expressing your actual sentiments bluntly.
I think. Maybe.

They still have to approve my account. I can see them banning me without me posting a single thing.

Know what I've always wanted to ask a fundie. if God created all of existence...why'd he do it? Because he was lonely, despite having three, apparently interactive personalities. Or maybe just because he could. Or maybe he feared blinking out of Resistance and needed someone to believe in him...like Santa Claus, or Peter Pan, or whatev. Not sure why he would insist on them playing a game without their knowing the full rules, nor why he insisted they reproduce...I wouldn't recommend asking that of any fundies, though, because they'll immediately assume that that question means you're suicidal/homicidal.

Know what I've always wanted to ask a fundie. if God created all of existance...why'd he do it? When people say the purpose of life is to worship/love/serve/whatever God, I wonder: well, then, what's the purpose of God's existence? The answer I usually get to that is that God exists for the sake of creating humanity, or something along those lines. Raises some other issues, but it does at least answer that one question.

There is no way you will last long, Vene. You start with the science, you'll be labelled a troll, & then you'll be banned. Your remarks here kinda don't help either, but that isn't the point.
Oh, & avoid Chris at all costs. The guy's an idiot. He'll make rambling comments about how evolution is a fairy tale for adults & DNA is "hardware," but if you actually try to get him to commit to an argument, he'll just repeat, verbatim, the same shit. It's like talking to a parrot that knows a total of 3 lines. He also once posted an article that says "belief" in evolution is a sign of mental illness.
Which I'm supposed to believe wasn't a thinly veiled attempt to insult me. Uh-huh. Sure.
So...yeah, if you can get in & avoid that headache, you should be able to last for a few posts. Not many, though.

I have to say so far I have not been ban....and have brought up the "science thing". In fact at least one of their normal members shot down another one for trying to use the 2nd law of thermo argument.
If any get in there is a Atheist threat in Apologetic section which I have been posting.

Deadpan, he already had a free-willed cheering section called angels. Why he needed to create a physical universe that seems to behave by a particular set of rules seems pretty pointless. Especially if you're omnibenevolent, but need to send people to a place to send people to be tortured for all eternity once they die for not jumping on the Jesus bandwagon.
