yes. Although evol/crea is my forte and my favorite debate topic, I
do like to debate other things in the "philosophical, social, ethical
and religious" arena. It might be worth it to research existing
groups who discuss that general area and then we could all more or
less agree to join that group.
When this list folds I'm suggesting that we all move on to
creationevolutiondebate which is an egroups list. Several of us have
already joined it. I'm recommending it because it's moderated and the
discussion tends--with a few exceptions--to remain civil and many of
the posts are extremely informative.
