• 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.

I am aware of the pseudoscience these people spread. And their work is not "surprising" to the scientific community since every time the claims were tested they turned out to be wrong or the methods creationists used were flawed or misused.

As judged by those with a very strong bias at what the creation scientists do. Actually, sometimes that has sometimes worked out well. The criticisms can sometimes help the creation scientists spot flaws and correct them. Most of the time, however, the criticisms are exaggerated and easily answered.

I am not a scientist, and I never claimed to be one. My technical skills are in the mechanical engineering field. I have always had a strong interest in science, even from an early age... between that and the very liberal Methodist Church I was forced to attend as a youngster (which taught that the Bible was largely myths which taught moral truths), I became an atheist at an early age... a naturalistic atheist (there are other types, I have since found out).

I still like to read about new discoveries in science in the more popular news type magazines, but I'm retired now and I won't waste my time any more with searching scientific journals.

And yet you feel that you are qualified to say that evolution is a 'poorly supported theory'. Now since you had the certainty to say that, I assumed that you were actually in a position of possessing scientific knowledge to actually say that you are scientifically qualified to make that claim.
So I'm afraid that your claims about evolution really are, to put it very bluntly, worthless.

And you have an example of creationists correcting so-called 'flaws' in mainstream science?

Whats the very strong bias scientists have? I agree there are some scientists with biases but that doesn't mean there is a grand conspiracy to reject creationism.

I see this site is going nowhere but turning into a "blond debate"...
Yes it is!
No it isn't!
Etc.

Goodby.

You have been asked questions, but you have not responded to them. You're the one who's engaging in a 'blonde debate', not us.

No, you have proven my point. If you had done some actual scientific research, you would see that the evidence does not support the claim that humans and dinosaurs co-existed and to accept that claim, you would have to belief that the Earth is much younger than actual science shows, which is based around...? A preconceived religious belief about the age of the Earth.

Nope, some people believe that dinosaurs lived with people but the Earth is also very old.

You can also find depictions on ancient pottery of dinosaurs. A time when 'science' will tell you these people should have no idea what they even look like, let alone know they exist. But they have interactions with people on some of these, including eating people, or in at least one case, being ridden by people. Like these...

Hahaha, the ica stones. Awesome.

Ica stones - Wikipedia

From the 1960s Javier Cabrera Darquea collected and popularized the stones, obtaining many of them from a farmer named Basilio Uschuya. Uschuya, after claiming them to be real ancient artifacts, admitted to creating the carvings he had sold and said he produced a patina by baking the stone in cow dung.

Yeah, right. Your YEC shtick tells me that never was the case.

Be careful on that. I called him out on that claim, which is a claim that we ALL have seen from YEC's, and he got really stroppy about it.

Yeah, i saw his "threat". I don't think he knows he violated forum rules just by posting it.

Sorry, I'm not about to take a lecture on accuracy from a proponent of evolution. It's kind of like being lectured about child safety from an abortion doctor.

Dunning-Kruger.

You don't get education from evolutionist either.

Or apparently anyone...

Any chance you want to stop with the peeing contest and actually discuss the subject rather than try and show everyone you're a clever boy?
