  • 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.

Is it just me...or does it seem like it's this little ritual of Supersport's to come here every 2 weeks or so, post a long non-sensical post, and then leave, never to comment on that post again, until he comes back 2 weeks later and creates a new thread?

I've got an idea; let's just not comment on his threads anymore. He'll think he won, and he'll leave, and we can have some peace and quiet.

On an unrelated side note, John seems to have gotten better at not posting random made-up statistics. My quote listing lies stagnant...

eh...that's a pretty good observation -- but it's little more often than once every couple weeks...I try to pop in here once a week or so. There's only so much I can handle of this group of evoltuionists. They make me nervous....kind of like when you walk down a dark alley in the middle of the night.

Your OP has been not only thoroughly debunked, but also shown to contain an outright falsehood as exemplified by this sample of posts:

Post #3 by Loudmouth

Post #9 by Logic_Fault

Post #32 by dantose

I especially like the part where posters illustrated how you post completely false information with your little quote-mine:

supersport said:
"Evolution is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless." Professor Louis Bounoure, National Center of Scientific Research.

From TalkORIGINS why the above is yet ANOTHER CREATIONIST LIE (really bears repeating):

The beginning of the quotation, "Evolution is a fairy tale for adults" is not from Bounoure but from Jean Rostand, a much more famous French biologist (he was a member of the Academy of Sciences of the French Academy). The precise quotation is as follows:

"Transformism is a fairy tale for adults." (Age Nouveau, [a French periodical] February 1959, p. 12). But Rostand has also written that "Transformism may be considered as accepted, and no scientist, no philosopher, no longer discusses [questions - ED.] the fact of evolution." (L'Evolution des Especes [i.e., The Evolution of the Species], Hachette, p. 190). Jean Rostand was ... an atheist.

I can see why you can only resort to implying that "this group of evoltutionists" are thugs with this comment:

supersport said:

I can see why you resort to this thinly-veiled ad hominem attack, considering you've got nothing in the way of a valid argument against evolution.

Well I guess you have turned out to be figuratively correct in that " this group of evoltutionists" did "mug" (completely demolished) your OP. ;)

Yes, I know what you say. Evolution is a lie and science is a religion. On the other hand, medicine works and faith healing doesn't. If it is a religion, it works better than the rest of them.

If

Evolution=LIE
Science=RELIGION

what is the relationship of RELIGION to LIE?

This is a basic IQ test question. A nice one.

This is an absolutely great thread. Supersport, John AND AV in one thread, with the usual nonsensisical posts, PRATTs and quotemining (or even quote-fabricating, perhaps...).

Now, is dad coming soon? I've got some doritos and dip ready! I love comedy on Saturdaynight, but I have to leave to the pub in an hour or so...

You call it great, but I think it's cause for concern -- the sheer density of the PRATTS and quotemines may cause this thread to collapse on itself, creating a black hole from which reason can neither enter nor exit.

I recommend leaving these creationists to each other -- which, in itself, is good enough reason for leaving.

Nothing is more humorous than when an evolutionist pokes fun at creationists or IDists for not putting forth a scientific theory to explain life.

First of all, life is not scientific -- life is spirtual. Contrary to what evolutionists say, what makes us human is not the shape of our jaw bone or the size of our heads. Life is something that controls and manipulates the matter it occupies. Thus, those who claim to be able to describe life scientifically are kidding themselves because life is more than material -- it's metaphysical, which by defintion is in conflict with science. Science is the study of the material world.

So when evolutionists scoff at Creationists for not putting forth a scientific theory for life, I believe they are asking us to play a game, which includes defining life according to a flawed premise.

But what's truly laughable about all this is that the "science" evolutionists put forth is not science at all. Like I said, "science" is (or should be) the study of the material world. But what the world's evolutionists have forced down our kids' throats is not science. Instead it's long list of "what ifs," "probablys," "maybes," and "more-than-likelys." What they're attempting to sell the unsuspecting public is not to be found in nature -- it's found in their books.

And their so-called evidence is NEVER visible. Never. For example, every creature on earth is said to have evolved from a common ancestor. Thus there must, be thousands and thousands of common ancestors that link each creature to the next. For example, lions and tigers must have a common ancestor....man and ape must have a common ancestor...squirrels and skunks must have a common ancestor...bats and whales must have a common ancestor. Of course none of these common ancestors have been found -- or will ever be found -- but we're just supposed to take their word for it because they know more than us. But the reality is, this is not science -- this is nothing but brain-rotting blind faith in an intellectually bankrupt theory.

But the fairytale doesn't stop there. Evolutionists have made a living the past 75 years on the Big Joke that is the unseen beneficial random mutation. I honestly believe this is the most ridiculous aspect of the whole theory. The notion that a once-in-a-multi-million chance mutation can be beneficial and spread throughout a population via sexual reproduction is truly outrageous -- especially when you consider that populations are often separated by hundreds or thousands of miles and mutations are 99% destructive and/or deadly. Not only that, but a grand total of only 4,000 hominid bones have been dug up...(this includes humans, australopithecus, Neanderthals, Homo erectus, etc) Thus, there simply is not enough of a population for the likely occurrence of beneficial random mutations. Of course cumulative selection of thousands of such mutations has never -- and will never -- be witnessed.

And the fairytale continues. THE most crucial aspect to the whole evolutionary farce is natural selection. This, as well, has never been documented, studied or witnessed. As far as I know there have never been controlled experiments on animals in an attempt to prove this concept. Once again, we are supposed to fall in love with the theory -- not any actual evidence.

So there's the backbone to evolutionary theory -- and there is no real science to it -- it's all nothing but a wild fairytale....a fairytale dreamed up by a select few who have no intention of actually studying the material world -- as real science requires. Instead, their only intention is to give atheists around the world a vessel to latch on to so they can justify their own existence without having to acknowledge the truth of the Almighty Creator.

This is the most unadulterated garbage I have ever read, talk about twisting things to suit your argument
the writer is obviously not of this world, it frightens me to even think that my child could come into contact with a person who would even contemplate believing something like this, what do they see as they walk about?
there eyes are most definitely shut for most of the time or perhaps they are able to see the parts that support their argument and blank out the rest, the fact that they do not question what they see sends shivers down my spine.

It depends on what you mean by "Creationism".
I am a GAP, but I do not have any problem with YEC or OEC.
It just depends on how you explain it or define your model.

All Science is Creation Science, because all Science supports Creationism.
Unless you can show me some Science somewhere that shows Creationism in some way not to be true.

Science does not belong in the science class room? That is a little bit silly.

You must mean that evolution is atheistic philosophy.

Geology goes all the way to romping over your 'creation science' and mauls it as effectivle as your average rugby player makes your average football (proper football not american football) look like a complete pansy. But there is a small place for 'creation science' in a science lesson, and that's as an example of bad science that doesn't follow the scientific method and is also not falsifiable.

Supersport, I've posted this before, but it bears repeating:

What's amusing [tragic, actually] is to see the "refutations" to this.

AV....i doubt that you'd recognise the scientific method if it somehow became personified and walk up to you and said with a thick glaswegian accent 'see you jimmy' then procceded to whomp you upside the head with a smoked kipper....

Little bit of off-topic, but it's called soccer :)
Well, football is also correct, but soccer is more specific! (because rugby is also football)

A kipper is a smoked herring. You don't smoke kippers! ;)

This is my first post btw, I'm finally delurking after months in the shadows laughing my head off. I'll give you a clue as to which side I am normally on: I came here from FSTDT. :D

EDIT: I just looked up kipper on wikipedia in case I was wrong and it says, "Typically, the species is a herring or salmon, but traditionally it is any fish found in great numbers and caught during its spawning period."
So I wasn't qite right, but nearly.

Gladiatrix, when you post things like that it makes me... um, well...

Okay, if I said what I was about to say it would probably get banned. I'll just leave it at this... :yum::hug::blush:
