• 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.

A claimed personal relationship with God does not appear to apply to scientific observations.
So, does the argument of personal incredulity apply here too?

Here is another example where they compare a trilobite that was deformed to one that was not:
Serious question:

Just out of curiosity, how do you know that isn't just rock art?

It never applies. It is always a logical fallacy. My post had nothing to do with the existence or nonexistence of a God.

Some believers do make the error of thinking that if their personal version of God is refuted that that is a refutation of God. I can assure you that that is never the case. It only means that at worse that oone was believing in an incorrect version of God.

Serious question: How are you still posting following your recent abusive name-calling on another thread?
It takes more than one active warning to get one sent to the sin bin. (Or ban can if you prefer).

By your logic this must be rock art as well.

Here is another example of what can be construed as 'rock art'; a simple line in a rock.
There is a problem however this line is highly concentrated in the metal iridium in far greater concentrations than is ordinarily found on Earth.
How were these artists able to accomplish this?
The iridium is from an extraterrestrial source and played a role in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Don't worry about it.

The mods effectively took care of it.

And for your information, it was more than a warning.

Do you seriously think iridium is going to pose a problem for one of those artists?

(They probably chew it as gum.)

According to the Bible, it will take dark matter to chain them.
