I think we need to realize that ID theoretical aspects are not actually relevant to progress on Genealogical Adam. By letting these issues pop up anywhere, in any folder, allows @swamidass’s focus to be hi-jacked almost at will. They should be placed in a section devoted to ID.
Here is the post I made today that touches on this idea:
@colewd (& @swamidass ),
Joshua,
If you reject the scientific aspect of IDs claims… this continued slogging about on of PROVING vs. DISPROVING the ID position… would seem to work against your efforts to seek trust.
Shouldn’t you set up a folder for threads on this ID dispute and allow the rest of your folders to focus on the issue of Genealogical Adam?
Every time you start making progress on GA, all someone has to de-rail those discussions is start posting: “But what about ID?”
In the world of Christians, the ID claims are either already accepted … or only relevant to those battling out the topic in the realm of politics."
