  • 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.

It didn't answer if you think the moisture in the air is working organized. Are the rain drops organized or not? If 'not' we would see a bright light from all the diffrent drops. If yes, how are they organized?

I honestly didn't find that wiki page satisfactory to the issue.

The raindrops are organised in that they keep falling past the points at which it is optimal for us to see the refraction.

No. There are not "organised". It's just rain falling.
And the sunlight shinning upon the raindrops. But because there is constant ly new rain falling, and constantly sunlight shinning, it seems as if the rainbow is standing solidly in the air. The rainbow is an illusion. It isn't real.

The foetus was not knit together by God. This form of Christianity where God is involved in all things at all times and without his direct input in a continuous manner is not Christianity but some kind of strange cultic view.

Stick to Astro-Physics, you don't know the Bible too well do you?

Job asked a question, a concept Astro-Man fails to see.
Did not He who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same One fashion us in the womb? Job 31:15
The Lord answers Astro-Man:
As you do not know the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything." Ecc. 11:5
King David knew and wrote songs about it and appreciated His work:
For you formed my inner parts; You covered me in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13
NGC 6712 (Alias Astro-Man) did not do his Bible studies, he spent too much time with numbers and equations that he failed to see the forest for the trees!
Thus says the Lord who made you
And formed you from the womb, who will help you ..." Isaiah 44:2
God also prepares our ways and path before we can even speak!
And now the Lord says,
Who formed me from the womb to be His servant, ..." Isaiah 49:5
He knew Jeremiah before he was born -- meaning in his mind, not that he existed yet.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
Before you were born I sanctified you;
I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Jeremiah 1:5


This is basic theology. God is sovereign and makes life and guides it's process. He made everything complete and orders the universe including setting in place the physics for Astro-Man to study.

I don't know what church you attend or if you are just posing to be a Christian to advance your views and insult Christians, but you needed some rebuke. Sorry, I have a certain amount of tolerance with types like you ... you crossed the line pal.

What of miscarriages? Still births? Is that what happens when God skips a loop?

Sin corrupted the perfection from the start. All forms of abnormalties, defects, diseases, etc. got there start back then -- in the Garden. Sin distorts not just morality, but the entire eco-system suffered as well. Hence, birth defects from bad genes passed down and multiplied.
There is a purpose in the whole scheme of things. We need to know evil and it's destructive consequences to appreciate what good is. Otherwise what would we compare it to? We can't appreciated the attributes of God unless we experience the opposite. We would not know love, grace, peace, kindness, hope, forgiveness, faith unless we went without it. Then when it comes along, it is wonderful and we know and appreciate. This is why it was a great plan. There is a rejuvenation we experience when we are the giver or recipient of good. Is that something tangible to you, Davian?

Evidence please.

Life and it's process of growth. Deductive reasoning concludes that biology, chemistry, physics coupled with any form of energy plus any amount of time cannot design what we see in all life and even non-living molecular structures. You all are dillusional. Didn't Thor pay you a visit yet ... I'm gonna have to call him back.

First, you assert that your God personally knits each fetus together - something beyond our understanding of chemistry.

Now you say that this (omnipotent?) God has trouble doing a good job every time because of 'sin'.

It would appear that this concept of 'sin' is a wholly mad-made concept fabricated by men. A problem asserted by a religion for which that religion offers a solution. It is dismissed as such.
There is a purpose in the whole scheme of things.
Just not in any way that you can demonstrate.

It is - as we are social animals, I expect that these are evolved traits. As with other social animals, they held groups of our ancestors together long before the advent of language.

Evidence please. You keep making this claim, but offer absolutely no evidence to back it.

God allows the consequences of sin to appear because there is an overall plan involving lessons to learn.
It would appear that this concept of 'sin' is a wholly mad-made
Jesus didn't think so. You can look at him and see good -- wouldn't you want to be good, full of the spirit of life with joy, peace and hope or are you content with life and who you are now? If you are content, then what are you seeking?

It is - as we are social animals, I expect that these are evolved traits. As with other social animals, they held groups of our ancestors together long before the advent of language.

Life to you is as you understand it and so no need for me to go on beating a dead horse ... unless there's a dead horse forum.
