A fossil is generally the remains of a
creature that died at some point in time
in the past.

The conversations may still be happening.

Is the slowness on the scale of geologic time?
Who knows. How long is that?

Do cars never die because they never were alive?

Do they die when they get crushed into a cube
at a junk yard?

If the definition is unclear then it may fall under
the category or not testable.

I subscribed to talk.origins and then unsubscribed
again. It seems strange how that usenet group is
still going on.

If talk.origins goes down this tends to get more
posts.

And talk.origins seems to have gone down.
Ironically, the last post I saw on it was from the moderator, saying,
"That seems to work."

DIG's posts are the last ones I see also. My impression is he
declared T.O. dead; no greater authority than the one who kept it
alive as a moderated froup. What would it take to bring back T.O. UN-moderated?

So is there any interest in keeping T.O. alive at all? Not even for
the nostalgia of it? Where else would you have a thread of hundreds
of posts and months long about whether RCC supressed science 500 years
ago?
