  • 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.

Why is evolution taught in our schools?

Then explain how gravity works.

In the present Universe or in Adam's small Universe. which was contained in the water of the Multiverse? You must think I'm Albert Einstein. I know the difference between "Dark Energy" and the pull which is drawing us closer and closer to the Multiverse, ending in total destruction as we near our end. Do you? Of course not, since today's backward thinking Science cannot understand Genesis. Amen?

Please, you can't even do basic Newtonian physics. You don't even understand how science is done in the first place. To quote you "prove me wrong". You could prove me wrong by having a simple discussion on the basics of science, but since you know that you are wrong you won't even do that.

The men, who you suppose wrote Genesis, lived thousands of years BEFORE Science discovered what they wrote about, in specific detail, which has recently been confirmed by scientists. My question is how did they get the current specific scientific details correct 3k years ago?

God told them what to write, since He is the only source of scientific knowledge at that time. He also hid this scientific knowledge in Genesis, which can be understood ONLY by the people of the last days with the increased knowledge of Science and History. Daniel 12:4 When you uncover this knowledge, you have empirical (testable) evidence of God, and will recognize His Supreme Intelligence, which He demonstrated scientifically in Genesis.

Faith plus Fact equals God's Truth.

what "specific scientific details"?

Sure it does, since it shows that when the flood reached a depth of 15 cubits, (22.5 feet) the mountains were covered. Scripture was speaking of a much smaller and flatter Earth than the present one.
Then how deep was Panthalassa at the time?

It's too boring and that's why evolutionists debate Christians. You stick to a provably false ToE since no other evolutionist can disprove it, while refusing to even try to disprove my view. Until you can, I will stick with the agreement of Scripture with science and history which NO man can refute, including yourself. Think of my view as a scientific Theory, which will stand until it can be proven wrong. Amen?

Yet you can't come even close to refuting the theory of evolution and can only demonstrate a general lack of scientific education.

Your personal claims have been refuted by your inability to support them.

what "specific scientific details"?

1. That God created matter from energy as Einstein confirmed. Gen 1:1
2. That Adam was the common ancestor of all Humans. Gen 3:22
3. That God put Adam's firmament/Heaven under water. Gen 1:6-7
4. That God did not put our Cosmos under water. Gen 2:4
5. That Adam was made before the big bang and lived until 12k years ago and his descendants arrived on Earth only 11k years ago
6. That the big bang was late on the 3rd Day since the Stars lit up on the 4th Day Gen 1:16 which was only 200 million years later, in man's time
7. That God created and brought forth from water every living creature Genesis 1:21 Scientists call it coming forth naturally or magically.
8. That there are 2 kinds, temporary and eternal or His and Their kinds.
9. That prehistoric people and Adam's descendants can produce offspring together and did. Genesis 6:4
10. That's WHY today's Humans have Adam's superior intelligence and the DNA of Mitochondrial Eve who lived 150k years ago.

Why is evolution taught in our public schools? Should it be? Why or why not? I dont think it should be. I'm not saying creationism should be taught in our public schools even if I believe in creationism and think its a good idea in a perfect world. No Satan doesnt want creationism taught to our children so it will never be. I'm just saying that a theory that hasn't been 100% proven shouldn't be taught in our schools as scientific fact.

I mean around 18 years ago when I was in high school it was taught to me that we evolved from monkeys and it was taught to us as if it was a proven fact. Yet science has proven recently that we didn't evolve from monkeys scientists now think we evolved from something else. Well which is it? If evolution is such an ironclad piece of science than why did scientists get it wrong? When teaching evolution why not say that nobody knows exactly where we came from and that evolution is one theory that explains the origins of life?

I mean to an average scientist evolution has been proven and they deny that a God created the universe and to an average Christian scientist creationism has been proven and it's been proven that not only did a God create the universe but it was their God. Do you see what I'm saying? They can't both be right on the origins of life. Either we evolved or Christ created us. But I still argue that you cannot teach a theory as scientific fact and then when parts of it are proven false then say "It's still scientific fact we just got part of it wrong."

Evolution has been scientifically "proven"* and it is not true that accepting evolution means rejecting God, that is a lie from the devil we should not accept because it is one of the devil's ways of keeping people from believing in God.

*Proven as in established beyond reasonable doubt, not "proven" as a mathematical theorem.

False since History refutes the false ToE which supposes that we magically changed from prehistoric to fully human 195k year ago. This is disproved by the arrival of the first Human farmers in the Fertile Crescent only 11k years ago. Map: Fertile Cresent, 9000 to 4500 BCE

Lake Van, Turkey is the big Lake between Mt. Ararat and the center of the Fertile Crescent and a short walk into the valleys of northern Mesopotamia from the Lake. That's God's Truth.

Atomic Theory, Germ Theory and the Theory of Gravitation are all repeatable in a laboratory.

Try repeating evolution.

Evolution is being repeated before our eyes as germs develop resistance to antibiotics, weeds evolve resistance to weed killing chemicals, and humans are evolving to digest milk as adults.

The biggest lie ever forced taught to our innocent children is the ToE. It's not scientifically proven because it's a guess, based on facts, but still an assumption of the consensus of believers of evolution. Circular Reasoning is indicated. It contradicts History, Scripture and provides no process by which God's intelligence can be implanted in Apes.

*Proven as in established beyond reasonable doubt, not "proven" as a mathematical theorem.

Amen. It's kin to Dark Energy or magical acceleration of Galaxies. i suggest you call it Dark Evolution. What you call "evolution" is nothing more than decent with modification with the name changed in order to eliminate God from His own creation. IMHO

That's descent with modification. Let's see your amoeba to Human view. It's the one which cannot be repeated since mindless Nature does NOT give Apes, God's superior intelligence. Genesis 3:22 It MUST be inherited from one of Adam's descendants UNLESS you can tell us how to change the intelligence of people magically.

Scripture only describes the present Earth during the past 11k years since that is when the Ark arrived. Until then, there was not history, no intelligence, and no Humans, (descendants of Adam) on this planet.
But didn't you say this:
Sure it does, since it shows that when the flood reached a depth of 15 cubits, (22.5 feet) the mountains were covered. Scripture was speaking of a much smaller and flatter Earth than the present one.
If the Ark arrived and found the Earth only 22.5 feet deep, was the ocean also only 22.5 feet deep (or less)?

The simple truth that the odds of there being any life ever forming from the universe on a just random basis is pretty much none!

whats your math?

we got billions of stars with billions of planets life forming would be chemistry if possible so.....we have billions of years for the right chemicals in the right spot to show up, and when they do you have billions of combinations happening every second...so tell me again why it's such small odds? chances of hydrogen and oxygen forming water are prety much none, unless you take into account chemistry .

1. That God created matter from energy as Einstein confirmed. Gen 1:1
Not in the bible, only in your imagination

2. That Adam was the common ancestor of all Humans. Gen 3:22

which is scientifically demonstrably incorrect

3. That God put Adam's firmament/Heaven under water. Gen 1:6-7

which is scientifically demonstrably incorrect

4. That God did not put our Cosmos under water. Gen 2:4

which is scientifically demonstrably incorrect

5. That Adam was made before the big bang and lived until 12k years ago and his descendants

6. That the big bang was late on the 3rd Day since the Stars lit up on the 4th Day Gen 1:16 which was only 200 million years later, in man's time

Not in the bible, only in your imagination

7. That God created and brought forth from water every living creature Genesis 1:21 Scientists call it coming forth naturally or magically.

That's not what that verse says at all. Your inability of proper reading comprehension is acting up again.

It says in that verse that god created sea live.
It goes on to say that god created the birds in the sky as a seperate statement - these birds aren't created from water.
Then it goes on in verse Genesis 1:24

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds:the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so."

So, land animals aren't "brought forth from water" according to genesis, like you claim.
Why do you lie about what the bible says?

8. That there are 2 kinds, temporary and eternal or His and Their kinds.

no idea what that means

9. That prehistoric people and Adam's descendants can produce offspring together and did. Genesis 6:4

More bible fantasies and again, the genetic record says otherwise

10. That's WHY today's Humans have Adam's superior intelligence and the DNA of Mitochondrial Eve who lived 150k years ago.

More bible fantasies that aren't supported by evidence at all.

Want more?

No, this list of nonsense made me dumb enough for today.
It also is more then enough to expose just how disconnected from reality you really are...
