• 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.

What is the greatest evidence against the theory of evolution...?

I don't understand why you would say that, Juven. If "unusualness" is your standard for rejecting ideas, then why would you even begin to accept the biblical miracles, as you obviously do? They certainly are unusual.

Because we do not try to justify it as evolution. We call it creation.

Natural selection is the maintenance.

Yes. And the sun is the external (limited life) principal source of energy to the planet which lets living things maintain themselves at a lower entropy level than their environment.

Even "renewable energy" isn't, in the long run.

Does "creation" explain why I had impacted wisdom teeth, or eyes of well less than ideal design?
...sigh...
The "eye argument" again....
So they told you our eyes are no good?
Well, they're wrong.
UV filter is the answer to why blood vessels are on top of the receptors.

Mutations would explain your wisdom tooth problem.

Then why do fish have the same eye flaws as other vertebrates?

Of course, both of that are part of you. If you are explained, then everything of you are also explained.

Of course. The obvious feature of intelligence difference.
You are begging the question.

The reason an intelligence difference can't evolve is because there is an intelligence difference is incoherent.

If I was designed or created, that is terrible design or manufacture.
I'd expect better of a deity. Especially of an allegedly omnipotent and benevolent one.

Why do we deserve anything better than we have?

I have opened a topic to show you naturalism as preached by the church of naturalism is not science but a belief:

http://www.christianforums.com/posts/69512200/

You will see there is no need for a theist to subscribe to popular scientific consensus.

It is quite coherent among animals. That is: LOW.
