  • 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.

Why do you claim that?

Originally the "Big Bang theory" is the name that antagonists to the theory used for it. It stuck. If the antagonists were still around, actually I am pretty sure they are all dead, it would be a bit of a slap in the face to hit them back with their own insult.
At least Intelligent Design can argue for both "intelligence" and "design;" whereas Big Bang was neither "big," nor a "bang."

Yet you guys treat "Intellignet Design" with contempt, while accepting "Big Bang."

Reminds me of the passages:

Matthew 23:24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Romans 2:15b ... and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;

Actually they can't. There are so many flaws in life because it did follow an evolutionary path that at best IDists can argue for Incompetent Design.

An intelligent designer would not have all of the errors that we see in life today.

Are scientists lying when they use the term Big Bang, when it is actually more of an isotropic expansion?

Which is more misleading, in your opinion: Intelligent Design or Big Bang?

Scientists don't insist that one term has nothing to do with the other. They very honestly concede that the terms are interchangeable...

In fact, you've provided an excellent comparison between the openness of the scientific process and the duplicity and dogmatism of creationists.........thanks....!!-
