  • 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.

FLAT or ROUND Earth?

You can't get more logic than this;

King James Bible
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

Does not mean that Genesis 1 is literal history or that the earth is flat.

Your logic is flawed.

By what definition of 'truth' are you using here to say that Genesis is the truth? I really have to ask.


Genesis 1:14-19 describes Day Four, where God creates the celestial bodies: the sun, the moon, and the stars. These are set in the firmament of the heavens with specific purposes: To divide the day from the night. To serve as signs for seasons, days, and years.

Genesis says that but why do you claim it is literally true?

As @trophy33 says: Genesis says that, but that does not mean that it is the truth.

All you're doing is using circular logic, which is bad logic.

I will restate my post as not all scientist, just scientist who have made purposely false claims about God's creation that do not line up with God's actual Biblical creation.

There are those who know they are making false claims. Then there are those who just simply believe these false claims and defend these false claims, because they believe them to be true.

"Not all scientists" really counts as drivel coming from you.

There is no way to make a literal Biblical creation story work unless we do things like completely disregard and discard all scientific and historical knowledge. You are vehemently anti-knowledge, simple as. And that is just depressing as all heck.

I guess then it is all of us, since the first thing we do is exclude religious texts as source material.

So God created and put man in charge to tell how and what God created. I wonder why God included an account of creation in The Bible if that is the case.

Your claims are so strange. Do you have at least some general idea how Bible was written and composed?

How will science address a future event when it happens. The earth being bombarded by hail with a weigh of 100lbs.

What is you guesstimation of science's response to this event

And that is an absolutely nonsensical comment. But to even answer it would simply be: "The earth is being bombarded by hail with a weight of 100lbs!"
Sometimes stating the obvious is as far as science needs to go.

What about during the millennium reign of Jesus the sun will be 7 times brighter and the moon will shine as the sun.

It is said this is because it will heal the wounds of the inflected. Also noted that people again will live way past 100 years of age during this time.

When that happens, they'll let you know.

They do not need to let me know.
I will be there not in a physical earthly body, but the resurrected body.

So why even ask then?

Seriously, at this point, all you're doing is showing a very un-Christian attitude of contempt towards scientists only because of your own personal interpretation of Scripture.

When it happens, then we shall discuss the scientific implications. There is no need to speculate until then.

Where do you think this hail is going to come from ? Could it be from the firmament breaking up ?

And here's another.
How is every eye going to see him when the sky/firmament scrolls back ?
