Welcome, Niandra! Good to see you over here! Airdish 11:02, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

What is this project aiming for? JustineA 11:03, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
Here and here should explain the reasoning. You are encouraged to join in any discussions, we'd like to hear your point of view and there'll be no shouting-down happening. Airdish 11:09, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
Clarity, truth, justice and ... something. Personally, I like the idea of being a good source of refutation to the more dogmatic elements of faith and authoritarianism found on Conservapedia, but it is what we make of it. Flippin-shhh 11:10, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
Ok then. JustineA 11:12, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
...and accountability. *nods* Good to see you, Justine, hope you'll decide to stay for a while. --AKjeldsen 11:13, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
But basically, it's whatever we (that includes you) make it. I am hoping for a space for rational discussion about ideas rather than personalities, and to debunk certain fallacies, conspiracy theories, etc. Some of these intersect with religion, and, where they do, I hope to present ideas in a way that shows how and why I disagree, without being inherently insulting.--PalMD-Talk 11:54, 23 May 2007 (CDT)
Can we still make fun of User:DocSock? I can't stand that guy. --Kels 10:38, 25 May 2007 (CDT)

Welcome and good to see the CPers pouring in. Helios-speak to me! 23:42, 23 May 2007 (CDT)

Take a look at the talk page for TK Justine, and that should tell you all about most here. (The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.176.180.181 alias TK 15:37 25 May 2007)

Watch the Fox![edit]

Keep a watch on the Foxpuppet!

Hi[edit]

Nice to see you back here. It's been a while. --Horace 01:30, 6 June 2007 (CDT)

I second the "Hi". (don't ask me *shrug*) -ĬŴΣĐĝё 01:32, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Oh, Niandra, you're Australian aren't you? You should feel free to copy my Australian userbox if you like. --Horace 01:43, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Hello Icy, hello Horace. JustineA 05:19, 6 June 2007 (CDT)
Greetings as well. I like the 5+ edits to rationalwiki userbox - good to have a 20% uncertainty :-). What happened to the nifty sig, by the way? --ויִכִּ נתֶּרֶפּרֶתֵּר שְׁלֹום!

Leave you a message?[edit]

Hey Niandra. Did you mean for your "please leave me a new message" link to point to your Conservapedia talk page? Many (most, I think) of us here can't leave you messages there, since we've been blocked for one reason or another (or none at all). --jtltalk 23:34, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Unless Justine is urging us to wear socks to talk to her over there?~~ C®acker 23:38, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
It was the plan, but I'll change it since it's pretty much useless redirecting to CP. JustineA 23:54, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Abortion[edit]

I'm making an effort to change it into a real article with each side presented succinctly.--PalMD-yada yada 06:19, 10 June 2007 (CDT)

History of the earth[edit]

It may be too fine a distinction for CPers who tend to lump everyone in the same basket (especially YECs). But geologists are not evolutionists per se. Evolution is a biological concept. My understanding of the history of the earth is independent of evolution. Of course, the theory of evolution explains a lot of what we find in the fossil record but if all those creatures were deposited by alien spacecraft then it wouldn't change the geological record one little bit.

Quit saying Gods peed, it's God's speed - the really clean stuff. Hi Arthur! Hi Niandra! Let's all be wiki-friends! humanbe in 02:07, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
We might leave that for a rainy day. JustineA 09:53, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
Both of these concepts rely on the discovery of "deep time" by geologists, see SJ Gould, Times Arrow".--PalMD-yada yada 10:25, 17 June 2007 (CDT)
