  • 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.

" Had anybody taken the time and trouble to check the facts, they would have found that the story by Russel (1976) took some liberty with the facts and lacked very important information. First, the skeleton was not found in a vertical position, but was lying at an angle 50 to 40 degrees from horizontal. Finally, although at this angle, the whale skeleton lay parallel to the bedding of strata which at one time was the sea floor on which the dead whale fell after its death. These facts were confirmed by inquiring with the people at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History who excavated the whale. Although nothing had been published on the whale, Russel (1976) clearly identified the staff who excavated the skeleton and they could have been easily called at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles, California."

What I find amazing about this scientific correction to the vertical whale story is the proof that this whale had laid at the bottom of the ocean floor; one of the deepest basins also. Considering that dead whales float and tend to wash ashore.

Please find me a picture of a dead whale at the bottom of a ocean floor.

I will do no such stupid thing. Stop posting false information, not apologizing when you do post false information, and cease asking people to find information you could find on your own. This is extremely juvenile behavior.

If you will Google "sea worms eating whale" and "starfish eating whale" and you will get all kinds of information on dead whales at the bottom of the ocean including videos.

Whose the juvenile? Just think of all those recent fish deaths in different parts of the world, that's a lot of fossils on the ocean, sea, or lake floors right. Lol

Thanks, but I'm not claiming badly decomposed skeletons aren't on the ocean floor.

Translation:

Who is the juvenile? I have no idea what a fossil is or how it is formed.

It is obvious you do not know how fossils are formed. And to be debating people on evolution when you do not know how fossils are formed, posting misinformation without apology, changing the subject when wrong, etc, etc, is indeed juvenile.

Tell me how the vertical (40-50 degree incline) whale became a fossil; since that seems to be the issue.

It was the scientific community that pushed the flat earth.

This is a lie.

The Bible says nothing about the shape of the earth.

This is a lie.

In fact, things like atoms, radio waves, ocean currents, and germs were mentioned in the Bible centuries before man knew anything about these things.

No. Just no. The only thing mentioned was ocean currents and I think humans understood them before the Psalmist wrote that verse.

Go back and reread what's been posted about that find. The whale fossilized in position after death. Tectonic activity in the area then folded the strata in which the whale fossil was contained. The strata is consistent all around the fossil.
