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 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 two levels of access:
- Full access: 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.
- Read only access: You can view all posts and comments, but are not allowed to make posts or comments of your own. However if you ever feel the need for more, message us moderators and we will schedule for you to create one thread with a specific question or point for debate. You will be allowed to comment within that thread as much as you want.
Message the moderators to request access, and let us know which level you are requesting.
