  • 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.

I have friends who are physists and they do not believe in evolution simply because they understand how life begun.

But how many of them are named Steve?

Your physicist friends know the answer to the single greatest question in biological science? Why aren't they out collecting their awards?

Children, let us stop being silly.

"How did we get from non-life to life?"

You cannot start with evolution.
evolution doesn't even try to explain how life came about. evolution and abiogenesis are from 2 completely different scientific disciplines

You are made of non-life. Are the carbon atoms in your body alive? I had a packet of chips earlier, I can only assume they were non-life, they didn't put up much of a fight.

I don't think you've really thought this through.

So you agree that evolution is totally inadquate in explaining the origins of life.
So you agree that the Navier-Stokes equations are totally inadequate at explaining why my mouse doesn't fall through my desk?

So you agree that the germ theory is totally inadequate at deciding whether P=NP or not?

That is it everyone who belileves in evolution thinks white people are a superior race.
Or they do not understand Darwinism.
That is a lie.
Last time I read the the Bible, lying was a sin. Please do not contiue lying (even "lying for Jesus" is a sin).

Please refrain from lying

So which are the favoured races darwin talked about?
When Darwin wrote races he was talking about different species. Not how we interpret race now. And even if he wasn't that isn't modern evolutionary theory.

So what about favoured races?

As you've been told on numerous occasions, "race" was synonymous with "species" when Darwin wrote Origin. As it happens, he was also very progressive for his time, a man who disliked the slave trade more than many of the creationists (and other groups, but I thought that one deserved highlighting). I suppose it's harder to disagree with slavery when it's actually backed up with scripture as somehow ok.

You thought I forgot?

You evidently forgot the answers to your comments. Again

Are there favoured races? I am Black, you must all be superior to me then.

If we're superior to you, it's nothing to do with the colour of your skin.

How come I am Pulverising every arguement you come up with?

You're not. Unless you think that pulverising actually means ignoring.

Darwin was another vainglorious white man with a superiority complex.

Whatever else he was, he was right about evolution, as 150 years of science have shown. He could have been a mass murderer and that wouldn't have affected whether he was right about evolution in the least. Character assassination is simply a logical fallacy, and you're guilty of it.
