• 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.

Science disproves or provides evidence for. It doesn't certify. Certifying comes with reliability and consistency, so the scientific process itself is certified, but it itself doesn't certify. Redoing experiments over and over again and the data being consistent might certify the experimental process, but not really the data. It would be a stretch of definition to say that science certifies.
Thank you!

Simple question:Is creationism a scientifically certified myth?
And I said "myth" ... not lie ... not legend ... not story ... not [whatever] ... myth.
Here's an example for emphasis:

Scientist One: He had to study creationism and other legends.
Scientist Two: Creationism isn't a legend, it's a myth.
Scientist One: Whatever.
Scientist Two: No, not "whatever" ... myth.

So a simple YES or NO.

Is creationism a scientifically certified myth?

(And if you have to ask for clarification, I'm going to assume NO, since the clarification would come with the certification.)
Have you stopped beating your wife yet? Yes or no?

What's wrong? you don't like YES or NO questions?

Didn't you already concede that the question is meaningless because there's no such thing as "scientifically certified"?

What's this then?
Political scientist Sami Torssonen argues that animal welfare has itself been commodified since the 1990s because of public concern for animals. "Scientifically-certified welfare products," which Torssonen calls "sellfare," are "producible and salable at various points in the commodity chain," subject to competition like any other commodity.

So what's the criteria for being "scientifically certified"?
Beats me.

My sister has always told me I was "certified."

Not scientifically though. ;)

Yes. Something from nothing is impossible.
Wait.....that's the big bang theory.



Never mind.
