  • 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.

Could this generation of creationists be the last?

Given that scientists are pushing back the boundaries of ignorance further and further every year do you think that this generation of creationists could well be the last generation of creationists?

When you look at what has happened in the last 50 years it makes one wonder what the next 50 years will bring.

Please let's not argue for or against this advancment of knowledge let's just accept that it will come no matter what.

No -- Earth1 will see at least another 1007 years of creationists, before the Big Noise occurs; then we're off to Earth2!

Just hop on the bus, Gus; you don't need to discuss much. Just drop off the key, Lee, and let Christ set yourself free!

I was really talking about the creationist movement not the odd nut job, sadly they have always been and will always be around because some people are just unable to cope with life and death.
Whether it's the movement or the individual, we will be around forever -- even when death is no more.

A Creationist started this universe, and He will end it as well.

The mentality will persist in some form (as long as the Bell curve exists), but not in the specific guise of creationism - there was a last generation of geocentrists at one point, after all.

I don't think this generation is the last, but they're hardly doing well either.

Luke 18:8b Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

When Jesus returns, He will look for those who have faith, not science.

And doubtless the geocentrists said the same thing.

Again, why should we believe you (Or the Bible.)?

The real question is how much longer before evolution is exposed considering how many beliefs of evolution have been exposed over the years.


Darwin's Fossil Record- Not promising. A few cherry picked fossils that are supposed to be links between the millions of species on Earth. When in reality just as Darwin predicted for his theory to work the record of ancestors of modern day creatures would have to be just as vast if not more vast than the final iterations of the creatures themselves.

The Cambrian has totally thrown a monkey wrench into the theory of evolution

Complexity of a Cell- The cell was once thought to be as complex as a rubber ball. Now we know the complexity stupefies even the most complex nanotechnology on Earth. Every year you hear how scientists have "created' a synthetic cell but what they don't tell you or highlight is how "synthetic" these cells are and how there hasn't been a single successful protein synthesis and the mere idea of creating a cell from scratch and not using other preexisting genetic material is even more unlikely as we discover the inner workings of a cell all the way down to the motors of a cell and beyond.

Vestigial Organs and Junk DNA- These were supposed links between modern day creatures and their ancestors yet we discover more and more that organs thought to be vestigial serve a purpose. And more and more we discover that DNA considered JUNK DNA in fact serves a purpose.

Add the information age which has exposed the faith based tenets of the theory to the public that is not mentioned in textbooks and the media, and the rate of people receiving and accepting the information that leads to creation is growing.

The Atheists dream of everyone confirming the belief that is only on their lips, is simply that, just a dream

Just like the imaginative theory they embrace of amoeba to man

Please tell me if I'm wrong but I bet you a million to one that you get your information from creationist web sites and creationist preachers.

Here's a question to ask your preacher, why don't creationists learn more about the ToE so they can argue against it from a stronger position? surly the more you know about a subject the easier it must be to find the flaws in it?

That sort of conjecture has always been with us. 'could this crop of Christians be the last before the Rapture..'

Just this month we had a bunch. Christians are still here...and when we are gone, science will be largely irrelevant.

Evolution, in my opinion, will reach its pinnacle during the Tribulation period, then be falsified when Christ returns -- probably sometime in the Millennial Reign.
