• 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.

I didn't.
And I didn't say you did. Most posters so far have assumed human evolution, or at least a metaphor for it. But if you turn round and say it's a picture of Noah leading the animals off the Ark then we'd have a different subject.

As it stands, I'm heading down the metaphor line. It's an OK representation of a metaphor for human evolution.

Who is going to be laughing when you are stuck in hell for eternity? Yeah, thought so.

Are you referring to me (I found your comment amusing)?

Is the acceptance of a scientific theory an offense punishable by an eternity in hell, or is it just showing one's amusement on an internet forum that can condemn you?

Hell is full of scientists ... but there are no atheists there.

I posted the video because it's fairly representative of my feelings about the photo.
Okay ... thank you.

I just watched it.

Keep that video in mind the next time someone says we "descended from" something.

That geek says we co-existed with them for awhile.

The two are not mutually exclusive. Most people coexist with their parents for a time for example.

Indeed. Or, another example: Afro-Americans descend from Africans.
Yet, Afro-Americans and Africans still coexist.

Are Afro-Americans and Africans two different species?

That geek said humans and Neanderthals coexisted for awhile.

The geek is right. We coexisted and got jiggy with Neanderthals. :couplekiss:

For the record, I've been saying that humans and Neanderthals coexisted since the time of Joshua; since I believe that Neanderthals are nothing more than human beings who have been judged with one of God's "wonderful plagues."

Deuteronomy 28:59 Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

David died of such a bone-altering plague (Psalm 38).

Observed new species of fruitfly have arisen and coexist with wild type fruitflies.

-_- we sequenced the Neanderthal genome. We know they aren't the same species as us.
