• 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.

Real time or evo time?

No problem. Some of those same doubters think worms are kin. If there were any substantive arguments we should see them posted here. M.I.A.

well, it was about 758 million years ago that earthworms and humans last shared a common ancestral species. So the relationship is kind of distant.

In your fantasy, yes. Now enough whoppers.

While I enjoy a good burger king sandwich as much as the next guy, that seems an odd choice for Christmas dinner . . .
Not as odd as thinking Jesus made us from common ancestors as the cows the burgers are made of.

  1. Unless time existed as it does here then parallax cannot be a measure of time or distance in far space. Your bogus list then, is nothing but a pitiful attempt to appear to know something you have NO clue about.

Of course, we would need a REALLY GOOD reason to think that, wouldn't we...

False. ALL measures in the solar system used for the all important base line of the trigometric measure involve time! No way round it. Gong!

So parallax IS a measure of time now?

Very well. I'll give you a million dollars in one parallax from now. Send me a message then - BUT NOT BEFORE!

(And if you're even a tiny bit late, the deal's off.)

Scripture says plenty about the moon actually, most of which gives the lie to so called science.

Like saying that the moon produces it's own light?

How do you explain the phases of the moon then?

Actually, all life is related, some more distantly than others.

Oh, the cows and the humans shared a common ancestral species more recently, about 96 million years ago.

If that fits the revealed truth of God better, it works for me. Especially since science doesn't know either way. Why not assume God was right?

What verse did you think that was in? The moon gives her light but not by producing it by itself.

In other words time is inherent in the way parallax measures are done. Part of the mix.

Merry Christmas!

I don't remember there being a vote on it - or did you just declare yourself the winner and run away?
You don't get a vote! You only had the chance to contribute ideas and support for them. It is crystal clear that the sciences of origins are only beliefs. Through and through.
