  • 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.

And doing a ruddy poor job at it. I could as easily use the fact that the soldiers of the Waffen SS wore "GOTT MIT UNS" on their belt-buckles to say that Christianity is wrong.
It wouldn't be factual, and it certainly wouldn't be true, but it's basically the same sort of logic that you're using.
Are you trying to Godwin Columbine?

No, I'm making a point. You or others cannot use the actions of the Columbine shooters to say that evolution is wrong, no more than I or others are incapable of using the actions of the Waffen SS and the Third Reich to say the Christianity is wrong.

I'd keep my mouth shut too about morals if I was evolution.

It does keep it's mouth shut about morals! You're the one who is saying that evolution has anything to say on morality.

Now why would you go and say such a stupid thing?
Because evolution teaches deep time.

Because evolution says we came from a common ancestor.

Because evolution says we are a fetus, not a child.

Because evolution teaches the fight-or-flight response.

Okay, I can understand you having problems with the first three, but you lost me at the last one. Care to explain?

And what, your myopic religion doesn't allow for new understandings of reality? I'm so sorry for you that civilization has progressed, and you're stuck with two thousand year old Palestinian myths. I feel for ya'.

I disagree.

The Good Book says wisdom is justified of her children.

And two "Homo sapiens"* demonstrated that.

* Wise ones

Two animals went feral.

Now do you understand?

So you're saying that because taxonomists call the modern species of humans 'homo sapiens' - 'wise person', and two people did something horrible, that somehow invalidates everything to do with evolution. Have I got that right?

As Paul warns us, anyone believing we are Homo sapiens, runs the risk of becoming an atheist.

Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

... and David points out what can happen ...

Psalm 14:1b The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works,

That's just what they did ... abominable works.

But you're using ad hoc logic to say that Paul is talking about taxonomists calling Humans 'homo sapiens'. That's not what he's talking about at all. He's talking about people who claim that they knew more than God knew (or knows rather. No, knew?).
You're just putting the claim that 'professing themselves to be wise' refers to Homo sapiens.
And Psalm 14 doesn't even follow from Romans 1:22. You're putting a connection that doesn't exist!

Did Paul warn about people calling themselves "wise"?

Does evolution have people calling themselves "wise"?

Do Christians who deconvert, deconvert to evolution?
