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.

? You said I was making assertions and now you ask me why I think they did that?

Hey, I hate to butt in on the conversation, but I've read the whole thread and wanted to chime in on a point.
Overall, several people have been helpful by retracting claims which were based on incomplete information, or other similar honest mistakes. It's nice to see that, when so often people in other threads just get made.

Right. I agree that doing so is reasonable. Oncedeceived did not misrepresent her view (as far as I can tell). There is some evidence for some tetrapod or tetrapod like creatures just (~15 my) before Tiktaalik, and has been pointed out, that's OK from an evolution standpoint. I hope everyone can agree on both those points.
I also should point out that Oncedeceived has been quite reasonable in this discussion. It's great to see that in a discussion as charged as this topic.
Grace and hugs-
Papias

Well thank you Papias! I have to agree that this discussion has been profitable and one where there has been no disrespect or mocking and I applaud the non-believers for that! Kudos.
Grace and hugs right back to you!
