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.

The idea of 'events from millions of years ago', is a model held in the (relatively) modern minds of those who conceive it in the present though.

Up to this point your post was going well. Then you stumbled:
If it's wrong, it can be shown to be wrong. This is the part you miss with every single claim you make in your threads - your claims can, and mostly have, all been shown to be wrong. Denying reality is never a winning argument.

And you may continue to be demonstrably wrong.
You may continue to think so. But that doesn't make it so.

Unfortunately you're right.
However, you need to remember that you can't make reality go away.

Indeed. Don't forget that. Despite your protestations to the contrary you still have a long way to go.
