  • 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.

Why would you manipulate what he just wrote like that? You're not helping Christians to look any better, mister.
And you are? "If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other."

You have this habit of creating strawman and putting words in people's mouths. Trust me, you are doing yourself no favors.

I tend to think, the more education, the more people learn.

Of course, if what others learn disagrees with you, they must be brain washed, correct?
What part of brain washed do you need me to help you understand?

Nope, I'm not manipulating, biting, or devouring anyone, mister, but nice job with the projection.

And those who claim that there wasn't a divine act have the responsibility to prove there wasn't.

Ah, proving a negative, a true sign of one who can not support their own positive claim.

Can you prove I was not abducted by aliens last night and safely returned to my home?

I do not reject evolution. I have said a million, billion, quadrillion times there is no conflict between science and religion. None, zip, zero. What part of nothing do you have trouble understanding. True science and true religion are 100% compatible. There just so happens to be false religion and false science out there. In fact the whole aim and purpose of science is to find the truth and eliminate the false. Religion also claims a zeal for the truth.

Who decides what "true science" is, you?

Both my sons are engineering students so I know what classes they are taking. I know how much they have studied evolution: not much.

Joshua, I am an electrical engineer. May I suggest you look up the word "engineer" and see how it applies to Bill Nye the Mechanical Engineer and how it encompasses science? Do yourself a favor and gain an understanding of what an engineer is, and isn't.

You already presented the evidence. That was our starting point.

I pointed out evidence that those with higher education are brainwashed?????????????

Please oh please, point this out for us, this will be highly entertaining.

"you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." You can tell who abides in the truth because of the freedom they have. Those who reject the truth live in bondage.

Doesn't answer the question.

I didn't think you would though.

Joshua, I am an electrical engineer.
My first son is an electronic engineer and my second son is studying computer engineering with a full scholarship. Sense you are a electrical engineer then do you claim to be an expert in evolutionism? Just when did evolutionary science because a requirement to get your degree in electrical engineering?

For real have they not studied evolution? I'm thinking of going into engineering too but I've already taken 4 classes that teach evolution & I'm a junior. It's not just biology that teaches it. Like in astronomy we learned stellar evolution & obviously in DNA Science evolution was a huge part of it.

Ok.. I thought you knew more about science.. Umm.. simply put.. evolution is only one very small part of science.. there are other disciplines of science that have nothing to do with evolution. Evolution is just one tiny part of science. So to say the following:
Joshua said: mechanical engineering is math, not science.
is a false statement.

This comment shows how blinkered and self centred you are. I guess you think that the antidote for polio just happened. You know some doctor said "I have found the antidote to polio."

Actually, they said it after they worked on finding it... you know work, correct? It's what you do when you get tired of waiting for everything to come floating down like manna form heaven...

The fact that God created man with a brain that can think and discover never entered your head. That means that God gave man the ability to understand the cause of polio and the antidote for it.

And thankfully, there were enough men (and women, mustn't forget the women) who stopped looking for God to answer all their questions for them, and got down to the answers themselves. That, boys and girls, is why we no longer have Polio.

And we need to thank God for that as the cause of polio in the first place was man's sin which has caused the decay and degeneration that had been taking place over the last 6,000 years.

And yet, all the prayer and repentance in the world did absolutely nothing to stop Polio...

if you go back to the 1600s you will find that the church was the instigators of learning as they launched most of the universities in those days.

And how soon they forgot...
