The forums have been renovated.

The Work forum and all its sub-forums have been removed. The topics therein can just about all be discussed within the Plant forums.

The Matter forum is now the Non-taxa forum (in order to encompass more things, such as light and energy).

Some tags have special rules, now (seeing as we no longer have Organic Gardening or Herbalism forums).

Question:

Does this website endorse the Theory of Evolution?

Answer:

No. This website is neutral, and does not claim to know or believe exactly how life on Earth began, nor exactly how it progressed to this day.

You will see taxonomic relationships between species on this site, but taxonomy is useful whether or not the Theory of Evolution is completely true. Users are free to post about each of The Theory of Evolution and Creationism (but only speak of one of them per thread, unless you are respectful of both ideas, and entirely avoid maligning the other). Please respect any religious or scientific beliefs outlined in the opening post of whatever thread you are participating in (otherwise, you will probably be seen as a troll, even if you think the other person is being a troll). Rarely will an opening post be seen as trolling here, unless it's against the rules, disparaging others, misleading, etc. If you think the opening post should not be here, please report it for review.
