• 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.

What is the Falsification for Abiogenesis and Theory of Evolution?

Who created the creator?
Well you can keep saying this Creator had a Creator and that Creator had a Creator and that Creator had a creator...forever and never get to the end... So you're still asking the same question.
You either have eternal matter or an eternal being, an energy source that created the matter.

Well, we could all be living on a piece of dandelion fluff, and everything we think we should see could be an illusion.
But barring that, I think we have to acknowledge that the universe most likely had a beginning.

Can't have a bang without anything to go bang.
There was no ”bang” in the big bang.

And we dont really know the details and we certainly dont know anything about before (if there even was a before).

"I am the Lord that maketh all things, that stretcheth forth the heavens alone, that spreadeth abroad the earth by Myself;"
That is a belief, not science.

Amen. But what does that to do with the topic at hand--which is about the falsification of abiogenesis and evolution?

Oh come on! People are people. There's scientists who have lost their careers for not supporting darwinism. If you think it's unbiased, you are dreaming.
What else did they have contribute to science besides anti-darwinism?

Yes, its Odins day.
It's quite possible that an unspecified duration of time transpired between the creation of the universe (Genesis 1:1) and the initial formation of Earth. (Genesis 1:2).

The Hebrew verb translated “created” in Isaiah 42:5 is bara’ which has as its primary definition “bringing into existence something new, something that did not exist before.”7 The proclamation that God created (bara’) the entirety of the heavens is stated seven times in the Old Testament. (Genesis 1:1; 2:3; 2:4; Psalm 148:5; Isaiah 40:26; 42:5; 45:18).

That word in your post I highlighted in red, did you mean "any," or "a"?
I started to write "The fact that you come up with an inane response ..." but estimated that "inane" was too rude, too aggressive and changed at the last moment for the slightly softer "nonsensical". So it was indeed meant as "a".
