Or is this just for like science/technology news?????

I would not know, I'd think it go into OT since it would involve religion.

Keep them in OT I say.

I would suspect that newbies would keep it on the OT.

Regulars, for whatever reason, don't want to discuss it.

Those look to be the parameters.

More than likely thats where it would stay.

Ditto, and it's best that stays out of here :)

Why must a discussion about evolution involve religion? I don't recall that being a factor in, say, the debate over punctuated equilibrium.

I'd say that if it's a scientific discussion it goes in this forum; if it's not then it goes elsewhere.

evolution YES
evolution Vs. religion NO

evolution YES
evolution Vs. religion NO
Ditto.

Also, what happens to old Sci/Tech threads that got lost in OT, but still might have got useful discussion had it not been long buried? I mean, most of the time, when stuff gets bumped, it quickly disappears again, but if someone makes a new thread with the same topic, it lacks all the interesting posts that came before it... and disappears quickly again :p

Search it, report the OP and state that you wish that it be moved into this forum.

Well that's the thing, I don't know if it's even worth it... It might just die again. And if everyone did that the mods would have a lot of work on their hands :sad:

Technology is about the NEW. Anything of relevance will surface once more as a new thread here.

No, because in a while, people will forget about the old threads and start new threads here, so at most it would be a temporary job for them.
Besides, moving a thread doesn't require that much effort I think.
As for your fear of the thread dying, I always say, it's worth the try. If it does die, you haven't lost anything in trying ;)

Classic OT evolution threads will stay in OT.

This forum is more for scientific and techie discussions.
