  • 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.

Why do you believe in the evolution theory? (2)

How is that communing with devils?

Getting in touch with dark doubts and denying creation by cooking up some other way to imagine life came to exist.

You are not making any sense.
To reject Jesus and creation and give in to darkness and doubts and stories from hell is dangerous. One should avoid that like one hopefully would avoid Satanism, or witchcraft etc.

You are the one denying the evidence found in the creation.

By rejecting evolution, you would be rejecting creation since all of the evidence demonstrates that evolution is how species were created. It seems that you are just upset that God would use evolution.

For creating such a wonderful and amazing universe. You're the one who is accusing Him of being a liar by faking all of the evidence that exists in His creation.
God can't lie. The lie originated elsewhere. No evidence exists that the world was not created. What we see here is your inability to separate the filthy belief system of man imposed onto evidence, from the evidence itself.

I happen to know the Truth and so I do not share your problem of being lost in space.

I deny none of it ever in any way. Be honest. The evidence is NOT the sum total of the religious package you infect the evidence with and try to make it part of. Not at all. In fact the evidence is in many areas that science doesn't even have the capacity to deal with.

By rejecting evolution, you would be rejecting creation since all of the evidence demonstrates that evolution is how species were created.
Why would I reject evolution any more than I would reject summer and winter, and men and women and weather? Evolving was a created trait. I reject fanatics taking evolving to some insane godless imaginary extreme, to where they get puffed up enough to think they can attack and overrule God and His word.
It seems that you are just upset that God would use evolution.
?? Not at all. He used it plenty, especially in the different past when it was fast. He did not use it to create the universe or man or anything else though. That is 100% a product of sick minds.

Are you saying that you are God?
Not sure why you would try to smear other posters with such idiocy for simply being able to see that creation is real, and that science sullies evidences with beliefs?

You claim it is satanic, and refuse to look at it.

You are not God.

The only person we are contradicting is you.

You are making a pretty harsh accusation yourself without backing it up. How about some evidence that the results of science are wrong beyond just the bible? If science has got it wrong, then you should be able to actually perform experiments that don't line up with their results without having to alter conditions to make a certain result happen.

The claims based on a present state in the past fall on their own! They cannot be proven.

What science has wrong doesn't have to do with experiments the tykes can do, but with the titanic whoppers they spin on a wing and a hunch and a prayer loosely based on the experiments!

No, but evidence does exist that the world is a lot older than Ussher's chronology suggests.

They do help ease the mind though, when the evidence is against you.

It is temporary though, which is why the declarative statements need to be constantly repeated.

One is reminded of the Bard's words -

"Methinks the lady doth protest too much......"

In this case, I think it is appropriate to think of the "lady" as the creationists who loudly try to deny the reality of the world around them. Have you noticed? The almost manic hyperbole that is employed by many creationists can be contrasted with the more sober, reasoned approach of those fuelled by the scientific method.

I think that says something.

(note my bold)

You don't seem to have any respect for scientists or the scientific method, something even St. Paul would of warned against.

I'm sure if he'd have lived in our time, he'd certainly be the first Christian to object to modern pseudoscience.
