  • 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.

Interesting word choice.

You couldn't say "cleaned up," could you?

You used "erased" instead.

And you did that right after saying:
Hey, whatever, man. It's your conjecture.

I don't ever remember saying God "erased" evidence of the Flood.
erased, cleaned up, 6 of one, half dozen of the other. You have no evidence of either so it doesn't really matter.

Here is an excellent video on shape-shifting dinosaurs by Jack Horner:


He basically points out that what scientists think are different dinosaur species, are actually one and the same, but at different stages of age.

For example, if you skip to 08:45 and start watching, he points out that what scientists think are three different dinosaurs: dracorex, stygimoloch, and pachycephalosarus, are actually one and the same, but at different ages.
Stepping out to the bigger picture, God had quite an amazing plan, His design in action, doing precisely what He designed it to do:

Like creating whales before land animals?

Fossils indicate that big sea creatures were around before any significant land animals.

You ask for evidence…

The premise is you will change your mind but no…
You assume. I'm open to being shown evidence. And, just to clarify, good, valid, convincing evidence. Don't go reading a bible verse and acting like that's evidence because it's not. But whatever, man. Do. Don't. As long as you guys keep claiming things without evidence I'll just keep dismissing them as nonsense.

Prove that your mind can change…


Take up a philosophy or religion


Anything!
lol, okay. You don't know me, dude. Just because I don't subscribe to your philosophy or religion doesn't mean I'm not capable or open to change.

I used to be a practicing, bible-believing, church going, born-again Christian. I evaluated reasons for believing and came to the conclusion that there were none. Now I am not a Christian. Mind changed. There's my proof.

Stop, beating around the burning bush. Present your evidence.

I know there are very many types of churches/practices, having visited a lot of different churches. Is that type you mention one that practiced specifically "Love your neighbor as yourself" (and "love one another"), and when you say "practicing" does that mean you did that -- loved everyone? It's kind of radical, I think. I think that "few" do that. But often I think 'practicing' might mean instead entirely other things like church attendance, so I'm asking from genuine interest see.

Yes but whales have lungs, not gills.

And according to evolution doctrine, lungs developed on land.
