  • 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.

I agree, it's much easier to read the Bible and remain ignorant of such things,
Well the next time I take a cab, I'll ask the driver if he knows that evolution is a change in the alleles of a population over time.

If his eyes cross, I'll hail another.
there is no one happier in this world than an idiot sat in the corner grinning and sucking his thumb.
And watching a parade of educatees going by accusing him of trolling, supertrolling, and otherwise doing everything but sitting there grinning and sucking his thumb.

Now why would you ever need to take a cab when you have God on your side?

Now, now -- don't be bitter.

Thanks for the QED that you guys need to learn to take your own advice.

Don't tell me I need to learn evolution inside-out, then attempt to take on Christianity with your one-size-fits-all anthitheses.

What anthitheses are you talking about? A person can accept the existence of both God and evolution, if they just see to it that their ego doesn't get in the way -- countless theists already do.

In any case, you either missed the point, or had to force yourself to run and hide from it. Neither of those is a ringinging endorsement for the spiritual snake oil you guys peddle.

Dear AV, Be careful with one of your current opponants. Like some others, he is baiting you, seeking to report you for the least little infraction he can find. Such whining is practiced by some unbelievers in order to make themselves feel like they actually have a life. God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman

Do you argue against Islam? Judaism? I Ching? Taoism? Heaven's Gate? Aum Shinrikyo? anchovy pizza?

If so, you must be one educated lady.

What are you currently studying?

I'd thank you for the compliment if it wasn't for the sarcasm dripping from this post...

It might add some credibility to her point.

But I have a feeling she doesn't walk her talk.

I personally don't know Chuck about evolution.

Yet I rail against it, because I believe in evolution's antithesis ... instant creation.

Therefore, I don't have to know anything about evolution; and in fact, a child should be able to say evolution is wrong.

A child IS saying evolution is wrong, and that child is incorrect.

You'll never find the truth through knee-jerk reactions, AV. Seriously, what have you got against judging something on its own merits?

That is a strange claim. Usually we are being told that we are atheists because we want to go out and have fun sinning every night.

Yea, that's the ticket.

Must be related to why so many atheists have such high levels of education, so they can go out and sin every night.

Well, presumably that one might find one's self having to consider changing one's overly simplistic world view, at a guess.

Yes it does. The fact that you refuse to educate yourself about it does not mean it isn't there.
Educate myself about what flatworm had sex to produce you, or what other 'ancestor' to it did? That is silly. That would not even rate a B movie.

You admitted it in this thread. Maybe you should clarify what supposed creepy ancestor had sex to produce men?

How far back do you want to go exactly? Flatworms didn't give birth to humans, they just gave birth to what was next in line in the evolutionary history of humans.

If I find a three-dollar bill, I'm not going to waste my time searching to see why it is fake.

Its own merits can take a hike.

The "book" says it is non-legal tender.

Case closed.

Of course flatworms would not pop out little humans. The idea is that they popped out something, and then that something gave birth to something else, on up the line till we get to KTS! At least that was the impression I got when she admitted she could have resulted from flatworm sex?

That doesn't happen in real life though. Just in story books.

How many times do I have to tell you that flatworms were not the common ancestor? Are you ignoring me deliberately?
