  • 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.

Are you saying atheist are honest people devoted to truth that have empirical evidence to prove the non-existence of God? By the way did you get a chance to read this?

And now you are trying to cover up the lies by changing the subject and using a tu quoque fallacy.

Why is that? Why are creationists continually jumping from one lie to another lie, trying to pretend that they haven't lied?

Yes, but did not turn out to be the case.

Correct, and that is because we continued to follow the objective evidence. With creationism, they start with the conclusion, ignore any evidence that contradicts their conclusion, and then lie about the evidence.

Care to actually back up these allegations? Are you saying that the conclusion of humans evolving from neanderthals was not based on objective evidence? If so, back it up. Every paper that I read referred to fossil evidence which is objective.

Did the Neanderthal breed with humans? Or did the humans breed with Neanderthals? I'm talking about the consistency amongst Evolution in general. Anything I would use to back up any claims was written by men.

Clarification: neanderthals did not evolve into humans and nobody says they did. Neanderthals bred with their coexisting human cousins, but were eventually wiped out with their last pockets of existence ceasing about 20,000 years ago.

Maybe it was 4000 years ago in a flood, that brought up sediment fossils that were older and mixed with the bodies of "Men of renown" during the flood of Genesis.

I stated a question regarding your attack on Christians and forgetting lies told by bad science, and hypocritical atheist. I never stated fact of any sort. Personally I don't believe in Neanderthal, evolution of a Big Bang, or Atheism at its best.

Neanderthals were once considered a possible candidate as a direct ancestor of modern humans because of the objective fossil evidence.


Key consistent belief phrase "once considered".

You never demonstrated any lies, and then told a list of whoppers yourself.

This is the creationist MO. Keep lying, and pretend that everyone else is to blame.

I never stated fact of any sort.

"the whales frozen vertically in dirt were just buried by onlookers"--toolmanjantzi

Now you are running away from your own statements. You stated as fact that there are vertically buried whales. That is a lie.

Personally I don't believe in Neanderthal, evolution of a Big Bang, or Atheism at its best.

You act as if reality changes to match your beliefs. That's not the way it works.

Evidence please.

Evidence that demonstrated that Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans share a common ancestor, and were not direct ancestor-descendant pairs:

Ancient DNA and Neanderthals | The Smithsonian Institution's Human Origins Program

Anatomically modern humans are first seen about 100,000 years ago, but the neanderthal and human lineages diverged about 300,000+ years ago according the genetic evidence. This is the evidence that the conclusions are drawn from.

As for creationism, AiG says it best:

"By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record."

Instead of the vertical whale how about trees.

In other words:

Whoops, he caught me not caring about the truth but just finding whatever crap will make it look like Yawheh did it. That crap wasn't true, so time to find more crap. No need to apologize, I'm too busy finding crap for Yahweh.

First, admit that the vertical whale is a lie told by professional creationists (not necessarily you). I am not going to jump from lie to lie to lie at your beck and call.

Second, find the original, primary source for polystrate trees, not another link to creationist lies.

Given the disregard to the truth that creationists display with reference to science, does it really surprise anyone that people don't take them serious when it comes to claims of God's word, religion, etc.?

If they are so willing to spread untruths when it comes to scientific evidence, why should we expect them to tell the truth when it comes to God?
