CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim Leader Group Endorses Harris

This is no surprise. Harris also supports groups like BLM who have Marxist ideology and in turn are also supported by various Marxist groups all over the world who have a history of violent uprisings.
“Extreme Danger”: Harris Earns a Stunning Endorsement Over Trump
Kamala Harris has earned an eleventh-hour show of support from Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim community leaders.newrepublic.com
This group of American (immigrant) leaders is endorsing Harris.
Their argument is that while they do not like how the Biden government
has failed to stop Israel from killing civilians in the Gaza Strip (it is
questionable whether the U.S. COULD do this), they find that TRUMP
has a much MORE RADICAL view toward what should be done in Gaza than
the Biden administration, or the leader of Israel has.
AND, they find that Trump's statements denegrating non-white immigrants,
to be MUCH MORE DANGEROUS than Kamala Harris' position of embracing
all legal immigrants to America.
Curiously, this is the same position that the Pope suggested, when he
suggested that the America Catholic Christians should not be voting on
a one-topic agenda (that is, solely on makign abortion on demand illegal).
BLM leaders have praised the leaders of these groups who have blood on their hands.
Antifa and BLM both were born from a peculiarly American form of radical and violent Marxism. what is now occurring on American soil is not an organic civil rights movement, but an elite-funded effort to destabilize the American way of life as we’ve known it: the complete overhaul of the principles of our justice system to put group “identities” above equal individual rights, the erosion of private property and private education, and the destruction of traditional families and moral culture.
BLM was created and is led by radical Marxist racialists. Their heroes and teachers are the violent radicals of the 1960s and ’70s. we know this because they tell us so. The leaders of BLM call themselves “trained Marxists.”
Mastercard Unable to Defend Its Support for Marxist Group "Black Lives Matter"
And Harris supports these radicals
The Racial Marxism of BLM
Black Lives Matter (BLM) does not represent the old Civil Rights Movement. It does not seek equality under the law. And it does not intend to stop until it overthrows the very idea and structure of America as we’ve known it.
The Democrats’ Vice-Presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, put us on notice in June: “everyone beware—because they’re not gonna stop…everyone should take note of that…they’re not gonna let up, and they should not—and we should not.”
The Racial Marxism of BLM
Kamala Harris is talking about BLM not stopping to dismantle the American way of life and freedoms they have long fought for. Thats the reality, Harris is a radical Marxist or at the very least supports their ideology.
Just like these radicals like BLM side with Hamas when they posted images of Hamas terrorsist para gliding into Isreal to kill innocents as some justified uprising deep down so does Harris. We see it in how she boycoted the Isreali Prime minister and he reluctance to condemn Hamas in the past.
The Biden administration’s action, and inaction, in Gaza—and Kamala Harris's support for those policies—should have been enough to disqualify her.
Kamala Harris Does Not Deserve the Endorsement of “The Nation”
The Biden administration’s action, and inaction, in Gaza—and her support for those policies—should have been enough to disqualify her.

Putin is Dismantling Economic Institutions, to Pay for His Illegal War Against Ukraine
- By Michael Snow
You are terribly ill-informed. Russia's national debt is less than 800 Billion $ and USA, OURS is 35 Trillion $$$. Just our INTEREST on our debt is now 1 Trillion Dollars PER YEAR. More than Russia's entire debt. More than our defense budget.
If you wish to speak of 'legitimacy' of wars, Russia's military operation in Ukraine was much more justified than our operation in IRAQ

the origin of the universe - a short exercise
- By sjastro

You are clearly in denial mode and I am not wasting further time having to repeat myself that ZPE envisaged by Planck had nothing to do with the energy of the vacuum, but vibrating charges in the blackbody.
This doesn’t even require a knowledge of physics but history; it was Nernst in 1916 who first proposed ZPE for a vacuum , but the idea only gained traction with the development of relativistic quantum mechanics when Dirac came up with a workable theory that the electromagnetic field in a vacuum was composed of quantum harmonic oscillators in 1927.
These are the historical facts; you are engaging in revisionism of history.
Firstly, get your terminology correct, QED stands for quantum electrodynamics which is a QFT (quantum field theory) for the electromagnetic field.
When it comes to the evolution of the universe other QFTs such as electroweak theory and QCD (quantum chromodynamics) are just as important.
Secondly, your denial mode has reared its ugly head again, where is the evidence the speed of light was much faster in the early universe?
As I mentioned in a previous post SED is not even a scientific model, the faster speed of light is not based on evidence but on the requirement for YEC to be true.
I’d be more concerned with your own bias in using pseudoscience nonsense to justify YEC.
I asked you for evidence that the speed of light is faster in the past and this is the best you can do, I rest my case…..
This doesn’t even make any sense QED ( or more precisely QFT) is supported by experiments and observations, SED is based on unsupported assumptions and leads to predictions which are contradicted by observations as seen in my next response.
This is word salad but provides a good example of SED making a prediction which is contradicted by observation.
A form of radioactive decay is beta decay, a free neutron undergoes beta decay into a proton, electron and antineutrino with a half life of around 15 minutes.
If the decay rate of a neutron was much higher in the early universe, there would not have been enough time for the universe to cool down to form nuclei.
In the worst case scenario the early universe would only have been composed of primaeval hydrogen as neutrons would have decayed away before the universe had sufficient time to cool.
Alternatively a reduced number of neutrons would hinder the production of deuterium leading to heavier nuclei such as helium.
In the very early universe there was a number ratio of about 12 hydrogen nuclei for every helium nucleus which is a prediction supported by observation.
The ratio would be different if the decay rate of the neutron was much higher according to SED.
More denial mode and word salad, changing the speed of light has a profound effect on plasma physics.
As mentioned in a previous post a faster speed of light reduces the fine structure constant which reduces the electrostatic force between positive ions and electrons in a plasma, while the Debye length which determines how far electrostatic forces extend in plasma is also affected.
What I didn’t mention a changing light speed also impacts on plasma physics time scales for describing the rates of processes such as oscillations, wave propagation and particle interactions.
On the contrary it is very much on topic, this sub-forum is not meant to be an echo chamber, if you introduce pseudoscience in the form of justifying YEC then it will be scrutinized and criticized accordingly.---
But all this is actually off-topic of this thread which should be about the universe not being eternal and what we can say about the cause of the universe... So I would like to point back to the question at hand as brought up by partinobodycular to which my latest response is below...
