• 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.

  • 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...?

No, you must be honest and admit that life simply could not have evolved.
Why? That would be dishonest.

You must admit that we were created.
Why?

Then we can discuss Genesis. You see how the tables turn?
I studied Genesis. Back when I was a theist. It did not help me remain a theist.

But if I had accepted from the beginning that Genesis was of divine inspiration and perfect,
well then I would have been in no position to consider the possibility that it was not of divine inspiration and perfect.

So writes a man.

When you make the claim that what man writes is a lie, you are throwing the Bible out with it.
Being a man doesn't make you false: some men speak the truth. But, I will always believe God's word over man's if there is a problem between the two.

I believe God's Word as written by men to be more true than Godless interpretations of the natural world.

You believe? Again, just your beliefs and your words.

I will take conclusions based on real objective evidence over baseless beliefs any day.

Being a man doesn't make you false:

Then how does science being the words of men automatically make it false?

But, I will always believe God's word over man's if there is a problem between the two.

The Bible is man's word. Men wrote every word of it.

It contradicts God's Word in the case of evolution.

The Bible is the words of man
Men wrote God's Word. It is God's Word. You want to keep going over this?

If men wrote it, then it is the words of men. It doesn't become the words of a deity just by men saying so.

You can end it by offering evidence, something other than, "Because man says so".
I believe God said what He did in Genesis: He said "Let there be light" and there was light. You don't even know why or how light exists.
