• 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.

Why does the earth rotate?

Nice story. Too bad you have ZERO evidence.


I have lots of evidence. Here is the evidence from just one page of your posts:
My position isthat science doesn't know and made that ripe fable up.
My claim is that they can't support their claims called science.
Too bad you have ZERO evidence.
Yes, so shelve your fairy tale books, and let's get real.
Because God says so.​
Your posts prove that you are incapable of accepting any science that conflicts with your fundamentalist religious beliefs. Any further discussion about science is a complete waste of time.

But if you want to discuss fables, we could start with the one about a god who creates everything and then, in short order, destroys everything because he is upset about how his creation turned out.

Actually citing an elementary level totally unsupported so called science fable of how the earth started rotating, and came to exist, no less, is not evidence. Evidence would be something that substantiates the tale.

This isn't just about your personal feelings or fight with the Almighty. Seek help.

Notice how this poster realizes that people completely out of touch with reality should seek help, and yet . . . fails to seek help.

Did you ever state your belief on Why The Earth Rotates? Or do you believe it is stationary?

Who cares what people believe?? Science is supposed to be above that. Yet they have the most insane baseless godless whoppers on the block.

Who cares what people believe?? Science is supposed to be above that. Yet they have the most insane baseless godless whoppers on the block.

I have been on many forums over the years. Yet in just the few months I've been here I have encountered more people who refuse to state their own beliefs than I encountered in years in other forums.

On this forum...

All the say is:
You are wrong
Science is wrong
Science cannot prove
Where is the evidence (which they then disregard)​

What they don't say:
This is what I believe
This is what my beliefs are based on
This is evidence to support my beliefs​

Are they so ashamed of, or embarrassed by, their own beliefs that all they can try do is argue against other's positions?

Maybe get used to posting in science forums rather than belief sharing ones?

You don't hear much then but what you want eh? Work on that.

God made the earth and saw to it that it rotated. This is news?

God made the earth and saw to it that it rotated.

And set into motion (pun intended) a pretty efficient system for keeping it rotating.

A system so efficient (because God doesn't make mistakes, of course) that we can still see it at work all around us today.

Yoou are unable to say how eh? Funny that. Guess who doesn't know?

I know how science works. I can also explain it. I just choose not to explain it to you, because you have demonstrated time and again that you will ignore it, and I have better things to do than waste my time.

You have been utterly incapable of recognizing that your position is far from fact and evidence and knowledge and is demonstrably faith based. You keep offering religious twaddle as science.

Again, you demonstrate that you don't understand how science works...

Proving you right is beyond even my abilities.

Given the limit of your abilities when it comes to science and finding evidence, I'm not the slightest bit surprised...

Right. You thought He planned it to stop rotating for us??

Again with the ridicule. Don't you have anything better than that to disprove evolution? Or can you not find anything better than childish insults?
You feel that being related to what you claim you are related to is insulting?

Would it help if I told you God actually created us?

Oh, and where was that?
In every post you failed to prove the bedrock foundation of all common ancestor or fluke formed universe...your claimed nature of the past. Instead you offer common ancestry with worms.

God made the earth and saw to it that it rotated.

Yay, finally, an honest answer; GodDidIt.

Since your answer is GodDidIt, why are you so concerned about science and asking for evidence and proofs. You know you will never accept them. Ridiculing them doesn't add to your credibility.

Instead of saying...

There is no science to prove that
...just say
My interpretation of scripture conflicts with your science. I choose to believe in scripture.
Just honest and straightforward.
