Requesting Comment: Proposed Structure and Rules

for TL2 to TL3 advancement seems a big hurdle to cross and maintain to be out here at least every other day for 100 days. And it sounds like many of the really good discussions will take place only at a TL3 level. Wondering if the 50% of 100 days could be less stringent? And does TL3 get you access to all discussions at TL3 levels regardless of moderator group? (I’m not sure I understand all the proposed dynamics.)

Does not apply to @AJRoberts, you and other scholars from RTB are in the @scholars group which gives you automatic TL3 status.

• Also, not sure of the language and its implications re: “A Secular-Confessional Society”

This is merely our philosophy here, and you do not have to agree with it, though you seem to have no problem operating within it. I explain it here: A Secular-Confessional Society

@AJRoberts

1. The language seems to suggest to me that such a model will be marginalized if all attempts to present that model where it touches on points of theology are deemed personal confessions.

Not at all. It would dignify at as a legitimate way to understand scientific findings insofar as it is consistent with the evidence. Even if there were challenges, our goal would be to help make sense of it in light of the evidence.
