Looking for a new moderator

[Knight]

Due to other obligations Bob B will no longer be moderating the TheologyOnLine University. Bob will be sorely missed and we cannot thank him enough for all the work and effort he has given TOL in the past.

Therefore we are looking for a new moderator for the that forum section which contains the following three forums:

The Hall of Science
Creation, evolution, geology, biology and the rest of the "ologies" are discussed here.

The Archaeology Dept.
Ancient evidence what are the theological implications?

Philosophy ~ Religion
How does philosophy relate to theology and right living? Ponder: the nature of God, the problem of evil, interpreting God's word, ethics and morality, liberal vs. conservative, and religious clichés.

The moderator's duties are to peruse their assigned forums as much as possible and generally keep things in order. A moderator might be expected to: move misplaced threads to appropriate forums, delete offensive posts and report offenders to the admin (thats me), split threads, close threads etc.

The good part is a moderator gets several special forum powers. Moderators also get to make "Posts of the Day".

We would prefer to have a moderator of the TheologyOnLine University forum section that is a well versed apologist for biblical Creationism, but we will consider a wide range of candidates and make our final decision based on a variety of factors.

Please post here and let me know if your interested or PM me.

[Jaltus]

We'll miss you, Bob!

I nominate Solly although I am unsure of his stance on biblical creationism

[Gavin]

or Jaltus

[pereynol]

Hey Knight,
What is considered "biblical creationism?"

[Patroclus]

I second nominations for both Jaltus and Solly, if my voice counts in this discussion.

I should have said....

We would prefer to have a moderator of the TheologyOnLine University forum section that is a well versed apologist for the literal interpretation of the Genesis Creation account, but we will consider a wide range of candidates and make our final decision based on a variety of factors.

[drbrumley]

Is there some sort of test for this? :confused:

I know the Genesis Account to be true but then so do most. I hope anyway!

God Bless,
DRBrumley

[Solly]

Thanks for the nomination guys, but while I generally believe the Biblical Creationist view, I am not well versed in it. It's basically a "God said it, I believe it, that settles it stance", since I have little scientific training.

And to be honest I rarely go into those forums, unless I pick up a thread on the active page.

[drdeutsch]

I would vote for Jaltus... if he would get back to the "God is not an OV'er" thread! :)

Dr. Deutsch

[GrayPilgrim]

[Jan Brady whine]Jaltus, Jaltus, Jaltus, everybody like Jaltus[/Jan Brady whine]

[Calvinist]

I vote for me so I can ban that Liberty Hater Sheepmut.

[cirisme]

Bob, you will be missed! :(

Bob was the main creationist apologist out there, that I can think of. I used to debate evolutionism/creationism all the time a few years back.

I think Jaltus might make a good moderator.

[bibliophile1954]

Read your post, Solly, & I'd think you would be good too. If not you-I would have to go with jaltus!

[NSMinistries]

Solly & Jaltus my votes...

[Pilgrimagain]

Hey Knight, I would love to help out with the Archeology and philosophy of religion forums. I have academic experience in both areas plus I am already an honorary mod so maybe I could help out?

Is my name in the hat?

If so, I'll spray my name with meat flavoring like Dee Dee. :D

[Jaltus]

I'd vote for GP.

I doubt I have the time it takes to spend in the Creationism area, and I am unsure as to whether I'd have the backing to give the same kind of beat-down that Bob-B always gave.

Eh? Admittedly, Bob was heavily outnumbered (always a disadvantage) but I seem to recall he got cornered and pinned on many an occasion.

Also, I just can't seem to see you trying to peddle largescale hydrodynamic sorting as the explanation for the geological column. In fact, I would be quite surprised if you pushed a YEC position at all, as you've always been rather discreet regarding your views of the whole creation/genesis thing.

[Jaltus]

You'd be surprised.

Anyway, my specialty is physics. All those other piddly little sciences like biology and chemistry are below me (read: I don't know squat about them).

[Flipper]

Jaltus:

As a former physicist, are you unenamoured by the physics of current dating practices (isochron, not the other kind)?

I'm interested to know in what way you think our current geologic dating practices stand or fall?

[yog^sothoth]

I have a decent knowledge of evolution, archaeology, biology, a bit of chemistry and a lot more of religion. I have been the the CEO of an electronic community much larger than this one and did so rather succesfully until the time of the great net crisis in which ad revenue sunk to the low that it is now. I know the guy who started IGN/snowball and for whatever its worth, I brought a dead site back from the grave twice. Once from a hacker attack and another time from a mad programmer gambit. There ya go!

[yog^sothoth]

oh, and I love movies that star Toshiro Mifune. That is always a big PLUS!!!

[firechyld]

Everyone's getting moderater-ised! Can I be a moderator on the Current Events board? I promise I'll be good!

[firechyld]

I feel so unloved. :(

Don't feel bad I'm not a moderator either...

[Knight]

Thanks guys for all the offers! You are all so very generous!

Currently we are at FULL strength. And I must say this is the BEST crop of moderators TOL has ever had!

I will keep all of you in mind if an opening arises.

[ebenz47037]

Why, thank you, Knight! :D

[Sozo]

Solly & Jaltus my votes...Not bad! :thumb:

[Adambassador]

I don't think there is a single thread on TOL that has more banned people who posted in it than this one.

Just wait a couple of weeks and there will probably be another one. :chuckle:
