  • 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.

So Globe earth christian believers i am guessing they also go with science. That stars die out and new stars are being formed, of course that again is also without Biblical support.

But i guess science rules over God's creation account.

Seems like it.

Isaiah 40:26
Lift up your eyes on high: Who created all these? He leads forth the starry host by number; He calls each one by name. Because of His great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Second, I have already stated, as per my own experience via short wave radio reception, and per the experience of ham radio operators, the ionosphere is notoriously unreliable to skip radio signals. One minute there is clear reception, the next it has faded. The reliability to receive signals via skipping off the ionosphere is very dependent on the time of day, the weather and other such influences.

Satellite tv signals are extremely reliable, far more reliable than any signal skipped off the ionosphere. Since I have already told you all this, if you had even used the remotest of intelligence to research the facts, you would know this.

Adding to Phil G's response:

The ionosphere only reflects frequencies below 30MHz, such as short wave. Higher frequencies, as used by TV and satellite, are not reflected (or bounced).

The Bible is not exhaustive and only teaches what God chose to reveal. Secondly, God created everything including science. There are a lot of scientists that are Christians. Third, God created the universe and wants us to look at it and study it because, as Paul teaches, we can see God’s attributes in His creation (Rom. 1). Fourth, God inspired the Bible, He did not dictate it to the writers, consequently, there are a variety of literary devises employed to tell the stories, including poetic, symbolic, observational, metaphors, similes, and parables among others.

What I have noticed is that those, like you, who propose nonsense like a flat earth strictly read the Bible literally. That destroys any kind of proper understanding of the teachings of the Bible and introduces a flawed interpretation. Secondly, you are missing the richness of God’s teachings by negating the fullness of the word of God.

Science does not rule over God's creation. Science attempts to understand and explain how God's creation works.

The Bible states that the created world reveals God's character and divine nature (Romans 1:20). God has given mankind the ability to investigate and learn how his creation behaves. This is called science. We will never be able to fully understand, but there are many aspects which we can and do understand. The understanding from science has been used by engineers to develop many different technologies. Some of which enable you and me to communicate on this forum: semiconductors, electronics, laser diodes, radio comms, thermal management, etc.

What science does not do is explain why. Why are we here? What is our purpose? Or give any moral direction - what is right or wrong.

I meant, Leaders who are mostly Freemasons & Royalty.

Sorry - It''s the way I must have worded it.
Thanks. Perhaps a comma after the word "Freemasons" would make it clear that you didn't mean that the NASA leaders are royalty. :)

NASA executives are not royalty.
I'm glad to see that I am not the only one who thought that Apple Sky was saying that NASA leaders are both Freemasons and royalty. :)

Science does nothing but lie about God's creation from the globe lie to the evolution lie

Apart from the globe, evolution is the next biggest lie, I've never seen a monkey change into a human being, well not yet anyhow.

Don't tar all scientists with the same brush. There are scientists who do not believe in evolution. They believe that God created the various "kinds" of animals and plants, and although various breeds of (for example) dogs have developed within the "dog kind," they remain dogs. Praise God for such scientists, and pray for them as they witness to the truth of God's Creation.

Lots of things are "without biblical support"
Computers, for example; going to hospital for a scan, x ray or an operation under anaesthetic, for example. There is no Biblical support for owning a car, smart watch, tv, hand gun or a thousand other things.
There is "no Biblical support" for them because a) that is not the purpose of the Bible and b) they hadn't been invented.

If you/a loved one had a rare medical condition would you "look to science" - take the medication/raise money for a particular form of treatment/go for regular scans to show if it was getting worse? Or would you say "there is no Biblical support for those things - just do nothing and hope that I/my relative gets better on their own"?
