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.

Better tell that to Ken Ham and AIG... their brilliant new museum portrays a very snake-like "serpent" giving advice to Eve.

While I agree that they were punished for disobeying God, there are two questions the incident brings up.
1. Why did God not want his prize creation to learn the difference between good and evil? It seems He wanted Adam to remain in ignorance. What was Adam expected to accomplish without knowledge? Was he just supposed to keep God company in the Garden?
2. How was Adam to know that disobeying God was a sin? Afterall,he didn't know the difference between good and evil!
This always interested me, because (if we take it as historical) it was the very first case where an entrapment defense was used by an accused person:
Gen 3:12 "And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat."
Although such a defense would have merit in our society today, it held no weight with God!

Ken Ham is not the one pouting that science and the Bible are at odds with each other.

No... you are. Otherwise, why would you claim that if "the evidence goes against the bible, it is wrong?"
