Why we are private

Unfortunately our experiments with r/creation being an open sub didn't go very well.  We become overwhelmingly outnumbered and It became a place for people to bash creationism (which there are already plenty on reddit) and most of the creationists left in frustration. We need a place on reddit for ourselves where creationists are the primary voices.  Everybody needs a "home base" where they can be themselves :P  But for balance, we still allow some dissenting voices among our ranks and regularly link to discussions about creation and ID on other subs to invite our members to participate there.

Someday if our numbers become large enough we may go public again.

Levels of Access

We currently grant three levels of access:

1. If you meet the rather minimal criteria of being an ID proponent as described by Granville Sewall, or are even open-minded to the idea that ID might be true, you can have full and permanent access. It doesn't matter whether you ascribe to a particular religion or none at all.
2. If you don't qualify for #1, you can be given temporary access to post a single thread of questions or debate with as many responses as you like, with your access remaining open until all discussion is finished. And we can sticky the thread for a few days if you'd like.
3. Be added permanently, but read-only. No posts or comments during the times while we're private.

Message the moderators to request access, and let us know which level you qualify for.
