• 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.

  • 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.

Trump what, you haven't provided any evidence?

Act like an invalid human? I won't tell you what your actions tell me about yourself, I will take the higher ground.

Good. Take the "higher ground," and be very lazy on information. You can shut me down easily if you just google searched. Instead, you debase yourself to ad hominem.

YES! I love when hubris takes over, and people tell me where I graduand from.

Keep digging. Every post you make provides one more piece of evidence that you are lying.

"Where I graduated from" is awkward at best. It is rather difficult to think a Columbia grad would end a sentence a preposition with.

Good that I have your stamp of approval (or dispproval) while I am looking at my diploma, and my Columbia student ID card (which I still have $350 credit.)

Call me a liar all you want; I know the dean (had many meetings with him,) and several professors that have vouched for me at Columbia. Is that the best you can do?


And, I know about prepositions (I come from a literary and military background.) Nice try. Did you talk to your English professor? Hasn't s/he ever taught you that ending a sentence with a preposition is necessary at times?

I have to commend you, though (especially coming from a military family) that you would even insult me about using a preposition at the end of a sentence. Yes, I try to not use prepositions at the end of sentences; my parents tell me of the Armageddon dangers of using preposition at the end of a sentence. Sometimes, I slip up. But, did you check your own sentence with which you made your reply?

Like I said, call Columbia with my name. I actually have two degrees: one from Bard College, and one from Columbia. Rather difficult? That is your opinion. I went to college at 16. I am sitting pretty with a degree I am looking at in applied physics. I could care less what you think, because I know what I have.

The "you are not for sure" dismissal of credentials is a favorite tactic by Naturalists on this forum.

Many are "fully convinced" that I was never a Naturalist nor a degrees Stratigrapher. It's like half my life never existed. :)

In all of my "physics" knowledge, I did not know what Stratigrapher meant. But guess what? I GOOGLED IT!. Now I know.

That is why I kept saying in my responses "google it." I didn't ask you to give me proof of what Stratigrapher meant, or what it was. I looked it up myself. Wow. Now I have the power of knowledge.

I almost forgot this is the "physicist and life sciences" forums - that means no believers will win in this forum. That makes me bored. Have fun everyone else.

Now that is a terrible thing to say. Not all Christians are fools. Most of them accept modern science. It is mostly in the U.S. where we have a possible majority of backwards Christians.

We call that the tares overgrowing the wheat; a phenomenon indicative of the last days.


No, the errant views of fundamentalists has nothing to do with the "last days".

And the "last days" have been predicted to be upon us for over 1900 years. We are getting a bit tired of waiting. Since the foundation of Christianity there has been some nut on a street corner somewhere with a sign saying "The End Is Near".


I wonder if other religions have that sort of mental disease within them.?

Methinks you have the tares and wheat mixed up.

Errant views would be the tares; pure doctrine would be the wheat.
And the "last days" have been predicted to be upon us for over 1900 years.
You mean "declared" to be upon us?

If you knew dispensation theology, you would know that the last days began with the renting of the veil at the moment Jesus died on the Cross.

Put another way, it is the last dispensation before Christ's return to set up His kingdom (the seventh dispensation).

So yes -- anyone with a simple calculator knows that we have been in the last days for 1980 years now.

Waiting for what? you're already in the last days.

I'm sure with people who think like you around, they do.

I'm sure with people who think like you around, they do.

Wow. I thought you got slack for being extreme before. Now I realize it is because you actually speak truth. You are the only other person on these forums besides myself that I have come in contact with that realizes the "generation" began at Christ's sacrifice/resurrection.

Well, for the record, that is basic doctrine (Dispensation Theology), but if you came to this conclusion on your own, I would say you've been doing some hefty studying!

Good for you! :thumbsup:
