  • 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.

Inferred evidence does not stand up in court. You need direct evidence not Circumstantial evidence.

I see that you are not only ignorant about science but law as well. Inferred evidence is indeed used all the time.

I didn't realize you had the authority to change definitions in biology.
Science hijacked the dictionary and tried to redefine the words. Only God is the ultimate authority because He is the One the Spoke the world into existence when He said in the beginning: "Let there be light". Jesus is actually the Word that became Flesh. So Creation-ism is the ultimate authority, not Evolution-ism. Because God is the Creator of all we see.

Why don't you show us how inferred evidence is not used in the court of law.
Your evidence fails to meet the burdon of proof. I am not convinced.
I do not know about your Minions, do you want to take a vote?

I'm going to alter a quote from The Princess Bride:
"You keep making that claim. I don't think you understand any of it."

Let's see: one anonymous person on the internet or virtually the entirety of biological science for 150 years?
I think I'm going to go with the actual scientists who actually study biology as to whether or not the evidence of evolution meets the burden of proof.
Simply put: get off your high horse.

Then perhaps you could show us the post written by God where he defined these words?

Or do you think you are God?

Whatever helps you sleep at night. You still haven't addressed the abundance of observable facts in evolution. You just hand wave it away.

Only God is the ultimate authority because He is the One the Spoke the world into existence

What is the test you run to demonstrate this to be true. Show us your evidence.

He said in the beginning: "Let there be light".

Before creating any light producing objects such as the sun and the stars. This is exactly what I would expect primitive men who knew nothing about the natural world to write.

So Creation-ism is the ultimate authority, not Evolution-ism.

Creationism is an unfalsifiable claim, therefore has no explanatory power. It's rejected until you can demonstrate testable and verifiable evidence. Also "evolutionism" is a creationist strawman. It's just evolution.

I fear that if you were a juror on a murder case that DNA evidence wouldn't convince you.
Actually it would.

I have a set of Boolean standards I use to make sure I keep my priorities straight.

In short, as long as this DNA evidence didn't contradict the Bible, I'm okay with it.

Those instances are recorded in the genomes of living species and in the fossil record which anyone can look at right now.
Nice.

But if you can't observe it in a laboratory, its chatta doan matta.

Just answer the question: why doesn't the evidence convince you?
I did answer the question. The answer does not line up with the truth that we find in the Bible. Science needs checks and balances.

Science does have checks and balances. If one scientist makes a discovery or does an experiment, other scientists will repeat the experiments to try and disprove the results or try to find other discoveries to prove that the original discovery is false.
The Bible has literally ZERO bearing on science.

There are many true Christians who have accepted that life on Earth evolved over millions of years.

In particular, lifeforms have been around for over 200 million years which have continuously lived by biting and devouring other lifeforms.

Has God allowed brutality to be the means for many lifeforms to exist for such a long period of time?

I don't think so. How about you?

here you are very right, this is the right way of thinking as to this viewpoint, the true God is not a cause of infliction of evil, nor would He let there be such a long evolution, otherwise He would be most sinful

Blessings
