AlphaCentaurus

3/10 Never heard of you before, despite relatively high postcount. Means you probably aren't very active/noticeable in the world of Asulon.

Firstly, a huge tip of the hat to OSD for handling some of the arguments with incredibly awesome rebuttals. I don't understand this. It seems that you are directly contradicting yourself in a single sentence. "We have tons of fossils... why don't we have tons of fossils?" Could you please rephrase this? Because fanaticism is a label we strive for in a "rational" debate. Now, it seems that this debate his wound down - pretty much all of the Creationists' points have ben firmly rebutted. Should we call it a close?

I have a guild/group that would like to move into (and expand) an existing ruin. It's in the Salvus area. Now, I know that Salvus will fall fairly soon, and so whoever controls the region it is in will be a different person. Should I just file the charter now and deal with whatever comes, or should I wait? The latter is not entirely appealing as we really do need a base of operations. Secondly: This seems to imply that a village plot would be free should you fit the requirement of having a guild be on it. It's vague, however. Can you clarify the benefits and what makes a guild "well developed?"

Big Bang. That's for another discussion, though.

Evolutionists, if they actually believe in the theory of evolution, believe that evolution is true for all living things, including bacteria, animals (Humans count as an animal, by the way), and plants.

I refrained from replying to this for a while after seeing that you would not be responding to it if I did, but I decided to do so nonetheless, to open up the debate to others. Now, first - we have narrowed this debate down to a single point of disagreement. You admit that there is micro-evolution, or as you say, species-evolution. Now, the thing is this - the difference between that and Darwin's Evolution is entirely intangible. The proper definitions of Micro- and Macro-Evolution are as follows. Micro-Evolution describes smaller changes due to natural selection and environment, such as color changes. The first line of defense in an creationist's arsenal is often this. It admits to the basic principles of natural selection, but denies other aspects. Macro-Evolution describes larger, more complex shifts in anatomy. The most commonly used example is the eye - something that creationists say is too complex to have developed in simple stages. I'll debate this point with you if necessary, but it doesn't seem needed. (Source: berkeley.edu) Now, as you have conceded to species-evolution, I must assume that you accept the larger theory of evolution, as well. I'll leave it at that for now. Also, on the fossil record - the fossil record is one of the most reliable pieces of evidence we have for anything. It's not solid proof, of course, but it's pretty darn good evidence, which is about the best you can have in most of these things. There are, as with anything, fake "human ancestors." That doesn't mean there aren't real, strongly, strongly supported human ancestors. Honestly, I have no idea how anyone could mount a reasonable assault on the fossil record.

Yup, I'm PST and pretty darn active.

I would absolutely adore a chance to do this. Edit: Wait... who -1'd my post?

((RPly, I do have the originals. Instead of just copying them RPly, which would have taken hours, I merely grabbed the books off their respective shelves and shoved them in my pouch. So, you do not still have the originals RPly - you only have them as far as the plugin goes. And yes, when I can next contact you, they are still for sale.))

((Actually, they are the authentics. I'm sorry if I forgot to make this clear, but he took the books off the bookshelves and carried them off. As I didn't have perms, I didn't break any of the library cases or place a sign as I had thought I had made it clear that they truly were stolen, not simply copied hastily, as that would have taken a massive amount of time. This is clearly an error on my part, then. Also, I have a VA accepted for 1, 2a, 2b, and 4.))

*A sign is posted beneath the notice, tacked on by a courier. The courier glances around, distinctly unnerved, before moving to a nearby tree and climbing up it, setting out his things to wait. The handwriting on the note is unrecognizable, and there is no signature.* "I have come into possession of the former Ascended Selina Demones. She is in complete captivity, and will be restrained until later notice. I was wondering if your cult was interested in revenge. Talk to my messenger and you will be able to contact me. The price is five thousand minas."

((I'll think on it. Multicharring has worked out badly whenever I did it, so I'll probably abandon.))
