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.
Evolutionary Science is a fairytale

From what I have read, you've not demonstrated this to be true. You'd also need to demonstrate that the universe was created, but my initial thoughts would be that it is far from consistent, since Deism says God created the universe but is no longer accessible, and Pantheism says the universe is God (which I say as mainly being a vessel for equivocation at a later point) so Pandeism would propose that God created himself.

do you realise what you are doing? you are redefining the question of the origins of the universe. there is so much evidence to back up the worlds age, it isnt even funny. if you walk through the grand canyon you can acually see the progression of life fossilized within rocks, walls ect. all science does is use evidence to make the best posible asumption. for example the "theory" of evolution is a theory, but so is the existance of god. nothing can be completly 100 percent proven. religious people get angry when you question 2000 year old beliefs (dont even get me started on how the bible formed, nothing was even written untill after jesus died, this makes most of the bible not a primary source) but people who use science are always questioning themselves to know the truth! they are not protecting somthing and attempting to disprove anything that contridicts it. this brings me back to my original point. you redifned the question of the orgins of the earth. it is not life we are arguing about. its the age of the ground, the stars, everything in the universe. not just concious thought. i leave you with this thought. christians have a biased take on the orgins of the universe because they are protecting personal beliefs. what does science have to protect? its the quest for knowledge that seperates science from religion.

But the spiritual impacts on the physical, just as the above person has said "Life is something that controls and manipulates the matter it occupies."
If life were spiritual, then there would be factual evidence of this that would be empirically testable, Valkhorn.

You're just making this up. The supernatural can be anything you want it to be. What is to prevent it from doing nothing to the real world as well? And who said life is supernatural?
So where is it?

99% of all mutations are damaging or deadly? I have extra bones in my feet that actually give me the ability to hold more weight without my ankle breaking, my brother has two extra thumbs which give him AMAZING artistic ability (because he can steady things better than most people) and my sister... well my sister is just normal, but my father has the same foot "mutation" as me and my grandfather has the same finger "mutation" as my brother. So either we are very lucky, or you are wrong.

Absolutely correct. It shows all religions are as true as each other.

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.
Response to quote:
Natural selection and random mutation can be easily demonstrated in bacteria using the Luria-Delbruck fluctation assay. I even started a thread on it here.
My response:
I recently posted a link about how bacteria can be mutated and then selected for by using directed evolution.

All of that doesn't matter because, if the Flying Spaghetti Monster wasn't in existence, then there would be no God.

What most people don't realize is that we are in the middle of a timeline looking at "evidence" that can be argued as progressing in either way. There is enough evidence to argue a case for evolution and enough evidence to argue a case that life is breaking down or devolving, creationism. No party can PROVE either way what is happening since we have not been around to get the whole picture regardless of what the scientist say. You believe what you want to believe based on your preconcieved notions or what you WANT to be true. I believe in creation, can I prove it? Nope. Therefore I feel I have no right no insult and belittle someone who doesn't believe in creation. But on the other hand I have met no evolutionist who can plug the holes in thier belief system either. I realize evolution "sounds" logical but the details of it's patterns break down under investigation to the point where if you say it has been proven you are just believing what you want to believe, you are not believing it because it has been proven. For a few of the reason I don't believe in evolution see my article below. Take out the spaces, they wouldn't let me post the link, im too new. 8)

No... it can't. The timeline goes from simple to complex. Not the other way around.
Again, no. Simple to complex. There is only one way that we can see that gets us there. Natural selection. Life is evolving, not breaking down.
Only a moron insists that you have to be around to actually see all of history before it's valid. We can prove how old things are and we can prove what happened in the past. But, if you want to live by that argument then discard your Bible. You weren't there to see it happen. Regardless of what priests say.
You do that. I'll examine the evidence and come to conclusions based upon it.
As all inmates of the asylum have found it wise not to poke the other inmates.
Either you don't understand it, you don't understand what science is or you don't care to understand it so you can pretend it's the same as your belief in a fictional mythology. Or maybe all of those are accurate. Why are you always blaming us for your ignorance?
Evolution is science. Science is based upon evidence. If we didn't have evidence we couldn't make the claims we make. If you understood it you'd know we don't use words like "proven" as proof is for math and alcohol.
I'm sorry for you. Not believing in evolution is like not believing in gravity. You may not understand it but you're a part of it whether you like it or not.
