  • 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.

Scientific beliefs are evidence based by definition. If your belief is not evidence based it cannot be scientific.

What does a belief that is not evidence based even look like? Hypotheses are based on imagination, and what can be imagined outside of what already exists...who conjures up something completely unheard of. Everything you could imagine has to be a spin off of something existing...so,in this way,there is evidence...especially when we form dogmas around it, that will make it so.

I like to use the term "reliable evidence" and for an example look at your own beliefs.

And no, hypotheses are not "based on imagination". Clearly you do not understand the scientific method. Perhaps we should discuss that first.

Lastly dogma is you sin. That is not a sin of science. The way to "fame and fortune" in the sciences is to show an error in a current theory. That does not happen very often at all these days.

Which paradigm?

*Well then I've been doing science my whole life, as I've tested the validity of the Bible, as well as, thousands upon thousands of others, with negative results.

Falsifiability is relatively new to science.


"The concept was introduced by the philosopher of science Karl Popper. He saw falsifiability as the logical part and the cornerstone of his scientific epistemology, which sets the limits of scientific inquiry. He proposed that statements and theories that are not falsifiable are unscientific. Declaring an unfalsifiable theory to be scientific would then be pseudoscience.[5]"

I seriously doubt your claim about testing the Bible. Christians generally do not know how to run proper tests.

And any accepted paradigm that is overturned would make a scientist famous. The problem is that once a paradigm is well established it is usually correct.

Yes, science not only has a method of self correction. That method has improved over the years.

You know you have not been able to show evidence for origin issues.

My belief is 1000 times more evidenced than your. So there.

We don't have to "prove" anything ourselves
What religion has to prove anything to it's own believers?
because they have data and make it available for people to check out.
I checked it out and it is belief based.
Also science doesn't prove anything and there's no such thing as scientific proof.
Why would there be proof for a false religion??

Dad, that is a falsehood.

And if you have evidence then why can't you post any? I seriously that you do not understand the concept.

You appear to have no reliable evidence at all. Would you like to learn what is and what is not evidence?

Dad, the fact that you do not understand evidence does not mean that there is not any.

To the poster who likes yapping endlessly about evidence for his religion without ever providing any, please cease and desist trolling here.
Since I offer to help you to understand the nature of evidence and you run away this post could obviously not be about me.

Are you ready to learn yet or do you still have your running shoes on?

To claim that I have not provided evidence would be a lie, and I am sure that you do not want to do that. I have provided evidence. You either did not understand it or you ran away. That is why I realized that to give you any more evidence is pointless until you learn what evidence is. Running away from a reasonable offer indicates that you know that you are wrong.

They can see you running away from a reasonable offer. To see the evidence given they would have to go quite a few posts back because you have been running for some time now.

Ha. I believe that technology/science would free man of life itself unless Jesus were to return and rescue us.

Very true, thank you "scientific method", for the atom bomb...


*Real science should result in propagation of life...not its destruction.

True, science has given us death and death potential in many many ways. Funny how disciples of so called science tend to deny all culpability for the bad in the tree of science, but seek glory for the good also. We should realize that the fruits of a tree tell us what sort of tree it is.

Post #??? Haha
Find it yourself. Until you stop running away from my reasonable offer you will get nothing from me.

Seriously, learning what is and what is not evidence can only make you a better debater. Instead of losing all of the time you might win a debate or two.

Science gave us the information. Technology, controlled by business and politics, gave us the implementation.

In theory, we could have safe nuclear power and no atom bombs.
