• 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.

It seems you cant keep up with the posts that tend to refute your claims.
That is no problem when I am refuted. That is the whole process of science and discovery. WE have to verify what is and what will work and what does not work. We know that nothing is hidden from God who has perfect standards. He will hold us all accountable to His standard. Perfection is the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects. Although with God perfection is based on maturity and the ability to produce fruit.

Plants before the sun is scientifically impossible. There is this thing called photosynthesis....kind of important.

Childhood is somewhat important, but Adam was formed as an adult.

You have not demonstrated you understand science.
It does not matter if I understand science or not. I know you think I am here for your entertainment but that is not why I am here. I am here to learn, you are here to be entertained, that is the difference between you and me. Entertainment for me is a waste of time. I want to be productive and make the best use of what little time we have so I have something to show for my investment. When it is all done and said for what will you have to show for the life you lived here on this earth?

LOL

You say it does not matter if you understand science but then constantly claim; science proves the bible is 100% accurate.

You really crack me up.

No it's not. You mean to say that plants can't survive for a day or so without sunlight, i.e., before God (Jesus) made the sun and stars?

What kept the Earth warm before the Sun was created?

Also, you appear to have forgotten that the Earth revolves around the Sun and the solar system revolves around the centre of the Galaxy. Did the Earth stand still in completely empty space for the first four days and then start orbiting the newly-created Sun, with the Sun orbiting the Galactic centre?

Moses was very educated and Science was somewhat established in his day. The amazing thing is that what Moses wrote is still accurate today. Nothing has been falsified. So what Moses knew is not at all impressive by today's standards. What is impressive is how accurate he was EVEN by today's standards.

What accuracy?? What knowledge?? What manner of 'science' can Moses teach us?

It would be nice if you would give me something to ignore, but you are not giving me anything.

OK, I'll try one more time.....

What do you got? Because I can not find any sign of degenerate disease in pre historic man. This all has to do with the Noah Covenant and this is why NOAH is so important.

If we found a pre-historic person who died of a degenerative disease or old age, would this disprove the Bible?

It would disprove my theory about the Bible. This would disprove my interpretation.

There is plenty of evidence that they suffered from a host of fatal diseases - cholera, TB etc.


TB found in 9000 year old skeleton

Rib lesions from the early neolithic

https://www.researchgate.net/public...l_of_tuberculosis_at_the_onset_of_agriculture

As an infectious disease, tuberculosis (TB) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Paleopathological and paleomicrobiological studies indicate a long standing association of the causative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its human host. Since the occurrence and the epidemic spread of this pathogen seem to be closely linked to social and biological factors, it is of particular interest to understand better the role of TB during periods of social and nutritional change such as the Neolithic. In this study, 118 individuals from three sites in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) dating to the Linear Pottery Culture (5400-4800 BC) were examined macroscopically to identify TB related bone lesions. In two individuals, Pott's disease was detected. In addition, periosteal reactions of varying degrees and frequency were observed mainly along the neck of the ribs in 6.5% (2/31) of subadults and 35.1% (20/57) of adults, with one site standing out markedly. Rib lesions, however, are not specific indicators of TB as they can also be caused by other diseases; so additional investigations were undertaken using histology and micro-CT scans to say more about the disease process. Supplementary molecular analyses indicate the presence of pathogens belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in individuals of all sites. Furthermore, we discuss the occurrence and spread of TB during the Neolithic with regard to nutritional aspects and possible risks of infection. The data presented provide important insights into the health status of Early Neolithic populations in Central Germany.

Does this disprove your interpretation of the bible, as you said it would in the quotes above?

I wanted to pop this into the discussion since others are posting their meme of preference. :p


Hi Blondepudding, you seem like a genuine person so I'd suggest that you desist from using that meme in the future. It's a quote mine and as such is a deliberate misrepresentation of what Darwin actually said.

What he actually said was this:

"To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of Spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. When it was first said that the sun stood still and the world turned round, the common sense of mankind declared the doctrine false; but the old saying of Vox populi, vox Dei ["the voice of the people = the voice of God "], as every philosopher knows, cannot be trusted in science. Reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a simple and imperfect eye to one complex and perfect can be shown to exist, each grade being useful to its possessor, as is certain the case; if further, the eye ever varies and the variations be inherited, as is likewise certainly the case; and if such variations should be useful to any animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, should not be considered as subversive of the theory."

I hope that you can understand that twisting the meaning what someone says by taking it out of context and using it to imply that they meant the opposite is extremely disonest - i.e lying.

As I say, you seem like a nice person, I'm definately not accusing you of dishonesty in any way, but hopefully you will see that Creationist propaganda is not to be trusted on face value as it will purposely misrepresent, twist or just ignore established science to further it's agenda.
