• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Rational people necessarily must dismiss gratuitously that which is given gratuitously.
I appreciate your support for my decision to ignore anti-evolution videos by Christian Fundamentalists. It's good to know I'm doing the right thing.

That's right. Latin first declension, if memory serves. -a singular cell, ae - plural - multi-cell.

I didn't suggest Dan was hiding anything. He just did not give the source for his claim. Rational people necessarily must dismiss gratuitously that which is given gratuitously.
But it wasn't necessary for the debate. If you have a question about algae ask it here, someone might answer it.

Is algae our prime source of oxygen? or are trees?

It's actually phytoplankton which is a mix of single celled algae & cyanobacteria.
I thought cyanobacteria became humans? and if humans exist, why are cyanobacteria still around?

It is dishonest to ask a question which you seen asked and seen answered multiple times, which you have probably asked yourself before and seen the answer. And please don't get cute and say you've never asked that question. You are well aware of the generic question - If A evolved from B, how come B is still around?

So please have the decency, the integrity, the honesty to quit that kind of sophomoric nonsense.

If you think that posting an irrelevant video instead of making an open and honest apology for your behaviour is acceptable, I'm here to tell you you are mistaken. I'm taking a rest from you for a while. It would be nice to find a different AV when I see you again.

Actually it was done as a JOKE.

Man, lighten up, for crying out loud. :doh:

In evolutionary bookkeeping, "species" is the credit; and "kind" is the debit.

You've managed to get basic accounting and cladistics completely wrong in a single sentence.

Quite an accomplishment!
