  • 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.

In order for evolution to work, it needs TIME, aka an old earth.
O.H. I believe in an old earth , but there is an aspect of the process of 'evolution ' which
is illusionary .God did not create us by evolution ,but as is described in Genesis ,and there is a large part missing to fill in the complete picture . God does not allow anyone to know the whole 'story' .This is where the churches the ,sola scripturists ,the scientists ,the thelogians all clash as God does not allow anyone to know more than
is neccessary for Him to know who we are , where we are coming from as individuals ,and to advance knowledge and science to the point where we can be here, discussing, learning , relating .When did any good teacher ever think they know everything, and can teach their pupils all that there is to know They don't and any teacher or church who does so, is keeping God out of the picture .
We are learning ,but that is all . God wishes us to be seekers , because in doing so we are seeking Him and His Creation . Those who are not,who are doing it for their own gain and egos will die to the future .:):D

Strobel's book was not based on science. His claims were also destroyed, with objective analysis.
Go on ,show us the evidence of the objective analysis .You are on a christian website , may I ask why so many posts to prove atheism ? Why don't you go to an Atheist one ? Is it because it is empty of life , DEAD ,and you need some warmth from the the christian 'Light' from God ?
I am putting you on ignore, with your many thousands of posts , since the moderators still see fit ,to allow you to fill up space with 'empty negativity .

There are a few atheists here, who would at least have looked at the book, before commenting . I am afraid what you said is untrue ,as it gets nearly 10O% positive reviews .

-_- cryptids are only considered such until they are confirmed to exist. The only non Lazarus taxan cryptids I know of to leave their cryptid status are giant squid and okapi; the former's proportions were greatly exaggerated in most of the stories that mentioned them as well. For reference, Lazarus taxan are species that were thought to be extinct that are discovered to still be alive.

If you read 1Enoch it says the giants ate all the acquisitions of man, and then started to eat animals and and even people. They ate everything they could find. One of the main reasons for the flood was to destroy those giants. Not the only reason but one of the main reasons.
Quote the part that says those giants looked human.

Atheists can't enjoy talking to fellow atheists. The only thing entertaining for them is to attempt upsetting Christians. There is a Christian site that engages atheists and has several atheists that post daily; Theology Online
TOL.

Nah.

The entertainment comes in seeing how certain people justify their beliefs. From a psychological standpoint, that is highly entertaining.

It is also entertaining to peek into the Christian only sections and watch Christians duke it out over who has the right theology.

There must be a myriad of atheist perspectives and varied beliefs that are justified with even worse data. Why not enjoy the lost atheists ?

I always observe, but have yet to find nearly the same entertainment value from atheists positions, that I do from certain types of Christians.

When you're 45 or 50 you may not be atheist anymore. God Works. Just read my signature to be saved, but you must believe.

I can't believe something I can't reconcile with reality. Some can play those psychological gymnastics, others can't.

Your theory doesn't work on me though regarding age, because I was a Christian for 40 years.

Well, that happens too. Long times Christians leaving Christ behind, despite His saving grace. I tried the atheist line of thought for quite some time, it leads nowhere. I wish you good fortune.

Does saying that an invertebrate grew a backbone and became a vertebrate, make it true?
There is in reality, not much evidence of this.
That's where you are mistaken. There is ample evidence. Enough to fill science books.

For the people who take the whole Bible literally, how literally do you take it? Cause that's my confusion. This fellow told me that if you believe the Bible literally you can't believe in Nasa, evolution, heliocentricism, spherical earth. I asked him if I could quote him cause I was confused & he said sure so I made a thread about that the other day if anybody's interested.
Which thread?

To me it seems the Bible talks about certain "dinosaurs" that God created, like Behemoth and Leviathan, but others are hybrid offspring of the Nephilim having sex with animals. Mind you my Bible is way huger than the traditional canons.
And therein lies one of the big problems with religion. Pick and choose. Pick and choose those parts that you think support your viewpoint. Disregard the others.

You deem to have taken this a few steps farther, you include books that are not in the "authorized" version.

I'd like to see quotes from sources that support your view that Nephilim had sex with animals.

As I was saying, I don't believe in evolution as I don't have enough faith to believe in it and I don't believe God deals in accidents.
Evolution doesn't take faith. It is evidence based. Either the evidence convinces you or it doesn't. Nothing to do with faith. So the first thing you have to do is familiarize yourself with the evidence. This will take time and study. You can't approach it with your mind already made up.
