  • 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.

The Bible says: "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends."

I was wondering if the Atheistic Evolutionists could explain how this works. We know that Love is a very powerful, even if there are different kinds of love. In this case we talk about the love that one friend has for another (philía, Greek: φιλία).

For Evolution - Self-preservation is a behavior that ensures the survival of an organism. Would this not create some sort of a conflict that a organism would be willing to sacrifice itself for the preservation of something other then itself.

As Christians we are told: "Love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High" Does this then become a law onto itself. If we love others or if we do good onto others then good will come back to us?

Just how does an organism preserve itself by sacrificing itself?

There is no love in evolution.

In fact, the first four letters of evolution is "love" spelled backwards.

In evolution, there are two subsets of families that live on the earth: the Fights and the Flights.

The Fight family stomps around claiming territory for their own.

The Flight family runs around avoiding the Fight family.

An example of the Fight family would be the Mongols.

An example of the Flight family would be the Jews.

Do you think it's coincidental that they are referred to as "nomads"?

What baffles scientists though, is that the Jews now have their own homeland and are now Fighters.

Quite effective fighters.

And so scientists scratch their heads, wondering how one subset of the human race can change over to another.

In their estimation, they are, and will forever be, "desert nomads," undeserving of any real estate to call their own.

Unless, of course, scientists can drum up some excuse for Israel deserving Israel, so as not to incur the charge of antizionism.

And as usual, some scientists do.

And they do it by "blaming" it on the government.

Just like they blame their gaffs on big pharmaceuticals, administration, and the government.

But we Christians are different.

We "blame" Israel living in Israel as a fulfillment of prophecy.

Something scientists deny.

And that's why they hate the Bible too.

It is Israel's "land contract from God" that convinces Christians they have a right to that land.

With the Bible out of the way, scientists can claim that Israel stole the land from the Canaanites via genocide.

Tell that to the Arabs who fought them in the six day war in 1967, they found out they were the Fight family.
You need to read the rest of AVs post.

Isn't that what I basically said?

That is why they fight the genealogies that go from Adam to David to Jesus. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years and we will rule with Jesus for 1,000 years here on the earth. They try to say Adam was not a real person, they even try to claim the David and Jesus were not real.

Rev20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

Isa 22:22 "And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open."

Rev 3:7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of the One who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What He opens,no one will shut; and what He shuts, no one will open."

This represents the Battle between the flesh and the spirit.

Gal 4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born because of the promise. 24 These things serve as illustrations, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children into slavery: This is Hagar.…

IMO, Robert Palase is consol.

'Nuff said.
Everyone is a fighter if they are given no other choice.

Consol? who is consol? is it someone who disagrees with you?

From your writings I have gathered this much. if you spent as much time and effort living your life as you do trying to turn your dreams into reality you would be much better off, saying things like 'science can take a hike' while typing on a computer puts you firmly in the 'I'm delusional' camp, you could be a force for sense and knowledge instead of ignorance and foolishness.

No doubt.

That's so they can replace him with their own brand of Adam: y-Adam.

...

Just how does an organism preserve itself by sacrificing itself?

Evolutionary scientists have looked into altruism for quite a while now.

For evolution, self-preservation is important only insofar as it ensures survival of the species. Consequently, cooperative behavior, nurturing and even altruism are to be expected.

Why does every mother in the animal kingdom protect it's young? surly if self-preservation was paramount it would run and leave it's young to be eaten while it escaped, why don't they?

Why don't they? It has to do with hormones and the way the primitive brain works. Humans still have a primitive brain or a base nature but they have the advanced brain that is a layered over the primitive brain.
