• 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.

Where are all the bones?

Still looking for that "young earth scientist" with a PhD in a relevant geological field?

Appeal to Bandwagon proves nothing. The argument stands or falls on its own merit. Neither is it specifically required that a scientist be a geologist in order for him to detect when a bogus theory is being proposed and blatant irrationality is being dressed up as if it were an acceptable part of the scientific method. In fact, any person who has a basic familiarity with what the scientific method demands can readily detect blatant deviations from its fundamental principles. So once again your premise is seriously defective.

Or maybe you don't science well.

I think you are projecting your own intellectual deficiencies on others.
Me? I passed my science classes with flying colors.
In any case, I think you are best placed on my ignore list since you are beginning to clutter my screen with irrelevant inanities.

BTW
Try a gymnasium and punching a heavy bag.
It will be less stressful on your delicately wired cerebral synapses.

Ignore away. Your PRATT's were starting to wear a little thin.
Check in later when you've boned up on the scientific method, and why your assertions are patently absurd.
Ciao.

The way you brandish the term "Scientific Method" around is indicative of a person with very limited education who is so impressed by what he feels is infinitely beyond his own ken that everyone else must surely be equally as handicapped.

A deficiency of basic education in the hard sciences is usually the cause of such a ridiculously, pompous display.

Very Sad indeed!

It's "kin," BTW.

Carry on.

Correcting typos is petty.
So you think he meant to type k-i-n, and inadvertently typed k-e-n?
Ironic, don't you think, when he misuses a word while accusing me of being ignorant? Even more telling, that you have a problem with me correcting his misuse (not misspelling), but not his blatant ad hom.

Or maybe he actually thought the word was "ken."


Let's be honest here. Did you offer the correction to be helpful or to mock him as less intelligent?

Or maybe he actually meant to use the word "ken". (Reading the post in question, in context, this would make sense.)
