• 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.

Dear me!

Some can't even see the word!

:eek:

When someone says that science doesn't certify myths, that person is basically saying that "No, Genesis cannot be scientifically certified".
How hard is this for you to understand?

I know where he is going, I think. Next he will say 'If it can't certify them, it can't decertify them either.'
Close. :thumbsup:

More like:

If they can't certify creationism as a myth, then whether it is myth, lie, legend, or otherwise* is just an opinion.

* Except truth: that would have to come by faith, not opinion.

That depends on how YOU define a myth, since you are the OP here. So, what is YOUR definition of a myth?

I don't deal in myths and couldn't care less what the definition is.

So you start a thread talking about myths... and you don't even care about the definition of myth?
Can you not see how disingenuous that is?

I started a thread asking if creatonism is a scientifically certified myth.

Is there something wrong with that?

Apparently, quite difficult for him.

There is something wrong with that. You have just said that you don't care what the definition of myth is, so that obviously means that you don't care if anyone even answers your question anyway, since you don't care enough about the question you asked to begin with.

I'm second to none here ... even scientists ... in saying that Genesis 1 cannot be scientifically certified.

That does NOT mean I'm saying Genesis 1 is a myth.

(Did you see how he worded that? He [conveniently?] left off: "as a myth" in his quote.)

How about if I investigate before I communicate first?

You know, ask questions?
Asking questions is a form of communication. Therefore it would not be possible to investigate by asking questions before you communicated.

This appears to be yet another example of either
1. Your poor comprehension of how words are used and what they mean.
Or,
2. Your somewhat cynical modus operandi of knowingly distorting, warping, or twisting meaning in a deluded attempt "trap" those with whom you disagree.

Are alleles scientifically certified?

And don't even ask me what an allele is.

I've read about them several times and still don't get it.

False equivalency. Is it even possible for you to stay on topic?

There is no challenge. In fact, the answer was given to you in the very first page, in the second post, that answered your 'challenge', but you refused to acknowledge it.
