• 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.

Now that's not fair. When you asked for a source we assumed that meant you had the ability to understand how polls work.

Didn't you know that assumption is the worst form of decision making?

And what has that got to do with "most christians." You are getting so desperate you are plucking anything you can out of the air to save face.

The info is in the link.

I can post this stuff all day, to support my claims and you can deny it all day, because you have to.

The Pew poll is asking leading questions. Notice, the question wasn't asked about DARWINIST (Godless) evolution, the view that humans, and all life we observe today, are the result of ONLY naturalistic mechanisms acting on an alleged single life from from long ago. In fact, the term "evolution" isn't defined in the poll. It's the same meaningless claim made by some there that Christians believe in evolution, with no definition for 'evolution'.

It's meaningless until which particular view of evolution is being asked about.

Well said. The result of any poll is determined by the question asked as in Do you believe in war? Answer Oh no!

Or....Do you believe in defending your country from an aggressor? Answer Oh yes!!

That wasn't the question asked though, was it?

Nevermind, the thinking part is hard. You're right. I shouldn't have assumed that you had the ability to understand how polls work.

They understand them well if the poll is something they can accept. If the poll does not agree with their faith belief, it must be seen as not trustworthy.

Primitive, but effective defense mechanisms.

They're not going to face the flaws of the poll. They'll just keep posting the link, making the same unfounded claims.

That is so true and that is why they can't accept it because they can't handle the truth. They live in unreality in the hope that one day they will be proved right which they won't be.

And thank you for your input as it is so refreshing and a bit of relief from the mumbo jumbo put up by atheists which they claim is truth.

That is good as I never assume that you know what you are talking about.

You mean the input was; comforting.

The truth is not always comfortable, but some must have it that way.

Also, I am having trouble here with the remarks some are making about evidence.
Evidence can take a hike.

Not even God observed the Big Bang.

Just God and the angels -- some mentioned by name.

And God documented what He did -- put it in Writing, that is.
