  • 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.

That is correct ... that's what they teach.

So then what caused Hurricane Katrina, according to Taoism? mother nature, or too much good weather that needed offset by bad?
Isn't "bad weather" simply an opinion?

It does raise the questions where the water came from and where it went?

There isn't a single "personal attack" in my post.
I explained every point I made.

I suggest you address those points raised.



No.

If it was not you, I apologize. But, someone was making fun of me, based on my high IQ. I only brought up my IQ, not to brag, but to show how dump I am compared to God.

The only variations in human beings worth noting is colour of skin. Why would that pose a problem?


I think it is quite remarkable that nearly every culture (over 600) in the world has a flood legend, but what interests me isn't that nearly every culture has a flood legend. What interests me is that many of these cultures share very specific themes to each other, to the animals, the name of Noah (Nu'u for Hawaii, Nü Wa for China), to wickedness being the reason for the flood, even right down to the number of people saved, eight; And the list goes on. Something I'm not so quick to disregard as coincidence, but perhaps they all speak of the same event from the past.

You are kidding right? Blood types, try getting a transfusion with the wrong blood type that is not comparable.

There are many variations within humans, including inherited diseases.

There are many minor ones too like hair color, hairy body vs smooth, height, recessive genes, eye color,

Human variability - Wikipedia
When you consider humans to each other, it is staggering how similar we are to one another. If you exclude all recent mutations like sickle cell anemia, or hereditary blindness, or all those bad things, it would be perfectly possible to have all the world's diversity into a single human couple, let alone four couples.

I actually think genetics is one of the more powerful arguments against the molecules-to-man theory. When you look at the genes of things today, they had been transmitted from to generation to generation, and over time there is an accumulation of mutations which is destroying the genes, not making it better. If there is a build up of such mutations in the human genome, then in the past the human genome must have been much more pure or superior. These mutations are building up in populations over time which explain the abnormalities and deficiencies seen today. This is something that is widely acknowledged by geneticists.

There was no accumulation before there was genes as we know them. You do not know when that was.
Hi, can you give me a brief summary on what your position on this is? Just so I can understand where you are coming from.

Just to entertain the thought of "when", "when" is an interesting question. Certainly we can provide an educated approximate. There is a method which we call deducibility. All one really needs to know is the amount of mutations in the average human genome today and the average rate the mutations accumulate in the human genome. In theory, we should be able to approximately calculate back to the "when" the human genome was mostly a pure or untarnished specimen.

I suspect the answer to the "when" would be in the "thousands of years" range.

Actually, why not show us the way we do that exactly? The problem right out of the gate with your proposal is that who says there were mutations at all? How would we know that if genetics were not the same? We don't have any DNA from the time of the dinos! To merely look at present nature mutations is to do no more than assume the present nature existed then.

Since all dating is also based on assuming a same nature in the past (example that there was radioactive decay) you can have no dates UNLESS you FIRST prove nature and laws were the same.
