• 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.

The evidence for Evolution.

Impossible. Man could not fortell the days till Jesus came thousands of years in advance, the virgin birth, the town, the method of death, that his robes would be gambled for, that He would rise from the dead, and etc etc.

And yet, every single word in those books was written....by a man.

No. Look at the ten commandments, God wrote those. Ever heard of a red letter editon bible? That is direct speaking from God, recorded by man. A blue letter bible is the old testament words of God in blue.

Only common in your head as far as any evidence goes. Just because a flatworm is gooky and your nose may be gooky, does not mean that we are brethren.
Your incredulity and denial are irrelevant. The genetic evidence of a common heritage for all life on Earth is beyond reasonable doubt.

Details of the evidence and many explanations of its implications are available to you for free online, if you are really interested in discovering the truth. But I suspect your interest is only in preserving and defending your beliefs against reality.

dad, we all know that this is beyond your understanding. When you care to give it a serious try then I will gladly help you. Evolution, in case you didn't know, neither endorses or negates the existence of gods, just like gravity.
Of course it does not negate God. It is a lie. A lie about where we came from.

Rather than pagan handwaving, try and specify a piece or two of said evidence. We will see it is but religion.

Rubbish. Every single one of them written by men, claiming it to be on behalf of a god.

No escaping that simple fact I'm afraid.

Except by denial.....

The first item in your link talks of a certain gene. It points out that it is a hemeprotein. You apparently want to associate that protein in various creatures with evolution.


"The heme contains an oxidized iron atom, Fe2+ in the center of a highly hydrophobic, planar, porphyrin ring. The iron has six possible coordination bonds. The porphyrin ring has 4 nitrogen atoms that bind to the iron, leaving two other coordination positions of the iron available for bonding to the histidine of the protein and a divalent atom.[2]" wiki

We then get into atomic laws, and processes, that bind, oxidize, bond and etc. One assumption is that the laws that determine how all these things happen would have been in effect in the distant past. That is unsupported and unsupoortable. Another assumption and belief is that the existence of genes (in whatever form they may be today) in different creatures, must mean some sort of des ent and transferance.

Neither of these premises is worth a farthing.

And the Hindu texts are even older. I guess that means that they are even more real than your books. Are you sure that you want to go with just the age of the writing?

The age was raised to point out how a man today was not there to see whether God wrote the stuff as claimed or not. Focus.

Nope, it is just a fact. That is all. That you have beliefs that have been shown to be false is not my problem.
All that Jesus said was proven true. The insane tales of Satanscience cannot be shown to be anyjting more than lies.

But God did not write the Bible. Man did. And the Hindu Vedas are older. According to your standards it is better.Focus.

You have no idea of Jesus would agree or not.
We know exactly what He said and wants and commands and expects and thinks actually.
The Gospels were written by people that probably never saw the man.
You never saw the men you claim wrote the bible, so you don't know.

Prove it? Easily. All references to your god are in the third person! Please indicate in those writings any place in which it says something like "In the beginning, I ........."
