• 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.

Are the rocks used to date the Earth found orbiting around the Earth, or are they found in the Earth itself?

What time dilation? The rocks we are dating have never left the Earth. They have been within the Earth's frame of reference the entire time.

What effect would the difference in the frame of reference have on the ages of Moon rocks and meteorites (including Martian meteorites)?

False. Movement does not mean time as we know it. God moves. Angels move. Philip in the bible was moved across a big body of water in no time. Satan showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. Time as we know it will be no more one day.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

Actually, all that phrase means in that verse is . . . the time is up.

No, God requires no time to move. Your head is stuck in the fishbowl. Free your mind and think bigger. Think out of the box.

You are just assuming God does not require time. GONG!!!

You are just assuming that there is a fishbowl. GONG!!

Free your mind, dad.

No the Eternal One cannot be limited to time! The 'I AM' cannot be relegated to the I was. The creator cannot be subject to the rules of the creation!
Free your mind, dad.
Only Jesus and His truth sets us free. I am free indeed. Come on over to the side with freedom.

If one calls Scripture a lie they call Jesus who is God a liar. Indeedy.

No, they call humans who assert that the Scripture is the holy word of God liars. If I say that Harry Potter is not a true story, I am not calling Dumbledore a liar. And besides, none of the gospels were written by Jesus - only Paul's Epistles actually could have been written during Jesus's lifetime, and we know the author of those wasn't Jesus - it was Paul.

If I want you to comment on things spiritual or holy, or potter to comment on things not occult, you will be informed.

I suspect the adminstrators themselves would dispute that version of your banning.

Of course they would, yet if you go look you will find I am the only one that included links to actual science - just as I am the only one on this post that has included links to actual science. While all of them there just made claims as all of you here just make claims.

Funny how that works.

You keep pretending real scientists can't know a lot of things they do know and all you have to defend that idea is mere assertion, which we may safely ignore. I suppose your pretendings will continue . . . . to your loss.

But they don't know half the things they claim to know.

What is a magnetic field? I will get no real explanations besides a force - because we do not know.

The kicker is every one of you understands that acceleration causes rulers to shrink and clocks to clow - and then refuse to accept that since this galaxy is accelerating through space it's rulers are shrinking and it's clocks are slowing. You continue to try to use the cop-out that we observe no change. Yet the twin in the spacecraft observes no change - yet we also all understand time proceeds differently for him than it does us. It matters not that he is unaware of the change - we all understand it is occurring.

Every one of you should understand the laws of physics in accelerating frames are not the same as in a stationary frame - and vary from frame to frame depending on the acceleration. Yet apparently you suddenly want to ignore this law of physics because suddenly since the subject isn't about time travel it conflicts with your beliefs about the age of the universe.

Had I mentioned only twins in spaceships you would all have agreed completely - but since I questioned your beliefs in the age of the universe you suddenly want to ignore everything you understand to be true.
