  • 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)

I am not worried that the apostles and prophests and Jesus who talked of creation and the beginning and the flood etc knew what they were talking about.


Only a matter of belief not interpretation.

Puffed up nonsense that you can't begin to prove. It could have been that post flood man grew tails fast for some reason, or that pre flood man had them. In NO way does it mean that we came from 'creatures' that had tails! Gross. That gives new meaning to the term gross darkness.

You're willing to conjecture anything accept what science has discovered!

Well, its good to see you admit there are no limits to your conjectures.
There are. Scripture. But that allows far more interesting results than using only science. It also guarantees that they are educated surmisings.

The WORLD is a highly religious area where a lot of creationists happen to be! Since Jesus and the apostles and prophets and angels are all creation believers or creationists as you call us, those with another opinion basically do not matter. Even if there are as many of them as flies on a pod.

Wasn't my point, just that a person was under the impression that the majority of Christians disagreed with evolutionary theory.

All bible believers do. To be called christian one does not need a bible or knowledge of Scripture. The only issue is what Scripture teaches, and that is clear. Jesus created life. End of story.

Depends on which evolutionary theory you're speaking of. All Christians disagree with the evolutionary worldview of atheistic Darwinist creationism.

No one is talking about your strawman versions of any theory.

If evolution is taken to mean that Jesus did not Personally create the universe and life on earth and man and woman, then Justatruthseeker was very correct.

And some are aware of your attempt to use evolution as a monolithic term.

I am not using it as a monolithic term. I am referring to the scientific theory, which I have told you many times now. Please stop lying about my usage of the term.

You're using it with a theistic impetus for the creation of humanity or an atheistic impetus?

"Evolution" has several different views. Yours is just one of them.

You're using a certain view of evolution which created humanity.



Please stop lying about which view I am presenting.

Please be forthright about Godless creation of humanity in your use of the term 'evolution'.

You're attempting to use the atheistic Darwinist creationist view and pass it off as 'evolution'. That's simply your view of evolution, it's not everyone's.

I am being forthright. Please stop lying about my position.

If your position of the creation of humanity by evolution includes a theistic impetus, let us know. Otherwise, let us know.

Either way, stop trying to pass off evolution as a monolithic term and view.

Please tell us if the creation of humanity by evolution was theistic or atheistic.

False dichotomy.

The creation of humanity by evolution was through natural processes. It is only you who insists that natural mechanisms are godless. I am willing to accept evidence for God in the process if there is any, and I never insist that God can not be part of the process.
