• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Nice graphic demonstrating macroevolution via microevolution

But the words are ALL red.

See, we both have the same evidence. It's just the matter of how we view them. And right now, I have my super-strength Biblical worldview glasses on, so you can't fool me, you silly evilutionist!

OK. Now I finally understand. Now I can finally be scientifically relevant. A red to blue gradient across an essay has taken the wool off of my eyes and ushered me out of the darkness of bronze age superstition into the glorious light of scientism and enlightenment. It makes perfect sense: wolf to blue heeler + eons = reptile to mammal. Boy, do I feel stupid...this is so embarrassing. I must now embrace my primate cousins, even when, in their less evolved state, they sling poo and sticks at me. I think I'm going to go watch "An Inconvenient Truth". Surely, I've been wrong about it as well and will now be able to see the dire necessity to go vegan and ride a bicycle with hemp tires so we can save the planet.:doh:

Who's advocating scientism? I'm not. I'm just following the evidence from God's creation.

It makes perfect sense: wolf to blue heeler + eons = reptile to mammal.
We actually have an excellent morphological gradient (akin to the colour gradient I posted originally) demonstrating the evolution of mammals from "mammal-like reptiles". It's well-evidenced by the evolution of the lower jaw, for example:

That could be evidence for theistic evolution, because the color is not going to change unless someone changes it.
The graphic itself isn't evidence of anything. It just nicely illustrates how microevolution gives rise to macroevolution over time.
