• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Sorry I edited my last post.

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v463/n7280/full/nature08700.html The journal he got his information from was not written by apologists. You can pay the website to see the rest of the findings.

Sorry I edited my last post.

If you read that source you gave, you would notice that it never states the difference as being near as significant as the apologist, nor does it state that this is a problem for evolution. Depending on selective pressures, evolution can be relatively fast or slow, it isn't restricted to one speed.

Why would a Biologist do that in a Science Journal. You did read that last part where excuses, I mean reasons for error are written. I understand your issue with the information of an apologist over that of an biologist; but maybe this will reassure you. http://youtu.be/xt79TLiX6DM

Look man, if you understood biology, you would realize how insignificant these differences on the Y chromosome were.


Well for me being a man, I sure hope the Y chromosome has some significance.


'You have probably heard before that the Y chromosome is small, insignificant and contains very little genetic information. This is not true."

That's funny because I did hear it.

"It is generally well known that men have an overall shorter life expectancy compared to women. A recent study, led by Uppsala University researchers, shows a correlation between a loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells and both a shorter life span and higher mortality from cancer in other organs."

- See more at: http://www.uu.se/en/media/news/arti...&typ=artikel&na=&lang=en#sthash.O8rvHmIC.dpuf But I guess it wouldn't matter for a women would it?

Um... blood cells don't have any chromosomes. At all. So I suspect there may be a translation error somewhere...

AV, that's not hard to do, as your faith is indefensible.

Are you here to make reasonable people of faith look silly?

No, HitchSlap, he is here to drive people crazy and make claims that he cannot support. In the end, all he does is waste other people's time. I'm not sure why people even take the time to acknowledge his posts. It seems like ignoring him would probably be the best way to deal with him.

I haven't posted here in 2 years and I'm really baffled to see that he's still here and that people still arguing with him, trying to make him wake up and see the light, because it's never going to happen, no matter how rational of a statement one makes.

What is "the light" you, and others, are trying to make him see?

I can't disagree with you.

On the other hand, sometimes it is the pure entertainment value that keeps people engaging with him and at times, he does provide some entertainment.

White Blood Cells do.

If that distinction isn't made in the source...

BTW, only red blood cells have genetic material which they later lose in their lifespan, and that happens in both genders all throughout our lives.

For some it does, just depends what the faith beliefs are.

Also, what would be the benefit of everyone believing in God?

None, because there is no way everyone would believe in the same god or interpret beliefs in the same way.

From a Christian perspective, going to Heaven.

Depends on what denominations. The best case would be that our beliefs don't matter with the afterlife but our actions do, with being a bad person punished to scale with the crimes.

Going to heaven as opposed to hell correct?

Ok, I can buy that, as if one truly believes the story, that is a clear benefit.

Another question, how many people do you think say they are Christian, just because they are fearful they will go to hell if they aren't, but they really have serious doubts about the whole story?
