  • 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.

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

Unless, of course, evolution wants to open it to tell a lie.
All of science has nothing to do with morality. Deal with it. Any moral implications people draw from scientific theories are, by nature, derived from idiocy. Also, evolution is not conscious, it cannot decide to do anything.

As I said, evolution creates a mindset that others find useful for violence.

So do religions. ISIS is a prime example of that. People misuse things, what is your point? One could use just about anything to foster violent mindsets. In case you haven't noticed, our species is really easy to manipulate.

That's right.

And God is going to put an end to religions.

So was Aum Shinrikyo.

Do you really think evolution is being misused when someone gets an abortion because they think they are having "unwanted tissue" removed from themselves, instead of "a child"?

Do you think evolution is being misused when it says we came from apes, instead of a Holy God?

Do you think evolution is being misused when its adherents have to learn that our primary response to something threatening us is "fight or flight"? and the reason it's our primary response is because Mother Nature encoded that into our genetic makeup?

No kidding.

All I have to do is ask who wore the shirt that said NATURAL SELECTION, Klebold or Harris?

Then I sit back and watch the sparks start to fly.

How's He going to do that? Religions are the inevitable result of free will.

This entire rant fails to demonstrate how evolution is any worse in regards to encouraging people to be violent than anything else, and even if you had successfully made that point (you haven't), that wouldn't make evolution incorrect or justify not teaching it.

I know of six million who would disagree with you.
The theory of evolution has as little to do with that as the theory of gravity. Though congrats on Godwinning the thread.

You can find six billion and you'd still be wrong. It must infuriate you that facts aren't subject to a vote.

No favoured races in the struggle for life in that crowd, was there? ;)

I'm not the one that went looking for "obstacles" to a pure race of Homo sapiens in the first place.

And how's He going to pull that off, having failed for the last 6,000 years?
It's the last thousand you need to concern yourself with; not the first six.
