  • 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.

Have any of the creationists here done the following?

Ok, I will bite. Show me the proof and I am not gonna read 25 books....give me the "Evolution is for Dummies" stream-lined edition.
Not that it matters to you, but TRIM5a is a start. While you're at it, take a look at ERV's and atavistic DNA.

Actually reading and becoming somewhat educated on ToE so as to have intelligent discourse with internets buddies, not so much.
That works both ways, you know?

Not on your life.

If you're a scientist, then get out there and sci.

Make our lives longer, our creature comforts more comfy, our teeth whiter, our computers run faster; whatever it is you guys do, and do so well, please do it.

Remember: scientists are a gift from God --- so act like it.

Me? I don't have that particular gift, so I can just drive my taxi, or transport my petroleum, or teach my math, or scratch my itching back with a wooden hand, or whatever.

Get the pic?

Whoa, man...you have gone too far. Accountability would come into play and that definitely is not part of evolution truth.

Of course it isn't easy. Trying to cover up lie after lie after misinformation after misinformation has got to be extremely tedious.
Well, as the old saying goes: He who speaks the truth doesn't need to remember what he said.

[Okay --- I made that up.]

Fail. Altruistic behavior is observed within most mammalian species. In fact altruism and accountability have been noted in all cultures and religions since recorded history. Sorry, you guys don't get to claim all the good stuff.

Of course, you'd know this if you cared to learn about ToE from sources other than the Hovind bozos.

Um, no, not really. You don't paint pictures very well. The things you say make sense to YOU and ONLY YOU.

I study Cultural Anthropology at the University of West Florida. I'm not a scientist. It's called Social Science.

Find something in the ToE that you can demonstrate is not so, or dont bother talking about "accountability".

As for AV's strange shopping list of what he thinks scientists should be doing.... isnt it the bible that tells you about all the social services you are supposed to perform, giving away your stuff etc?

Accountable for doing them things, is ya?

I give you just one solid piece of evidence using solid molecular genetics proving that our DNA and other primate DNA had a common ancestor, and that's not good enough?

OK, what's your question exactly? I'm sure I sould be able to 'dumb it down' for your level of understanding. You can even pick the filed of science you're most familiar with.

Maybe while you are at it you want the easiest way to learn calculus, in no more than five minutes and no homework?
