  • 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 far you have insulted thousands of scientists, astronauts, cosmonauts, astronomers, and regular scientists and scholars,

No I haven't, I just don't support all their fairy tales, especially NASA's.

AI Overview


Jehovah's Witnesses do not receive blood transfusions because they believe it is against biblical teachings to "abstain from blood". This interpretation means they refuse whole blood, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma, even in life-threatening situations, as it is considered a sin and a violation of God's will that could lead to spiritual damnation.
They believe it is, but there is no Scripture which says so.
Receiving a life saving transfusion of blood is not at all the same as eating it.

What makes you think that what they say is a fairy tale?

Do some research - what qualifications do you need to apply to work at NASA?
How do scientists, astronomers etc become scientists and astronomers; what subjects are needed?
What do these subjects (e.g Physics, Chemistry) involve? Clue; think experiments and testing theories to see if they work.

None of that is even remotely the same as "once upon a time ........"

-
If you want too, you can look up my past answers to these questions. I have only been asked this 5+ times on this site.
I'm not searching through all the posts you have ever written just to find your, no doubt dismissive, answer. If you can't tell me, or at least give me a link or a page number to check, forget it.

I didn't need an answer as such anyway - I only wanted you to think about the things that you use/benefit from/know are real but for which there is no Scriptural support.
Maybe then you'd begin to understand that not everything we do/use today is supported by Scripture.

They claim to have been to the moon when they haven't.
They claim that the sun is 93 million miles away when it' not.
They claim that they can land on planets when they can't.
Etc, etc, etc etc etc etc etc & etc ...........

You haven’t offered any proof of any of that except the videos of some con artists or confused people. Let’s finally see some evidence based on physics and proper science that can’t be disproved by somebody who studied math and physics in high school.

No.
They HAVE been to the moon - Apple Sky can't believe that.
The sun IS 93,000,000 miles away - Apple Sky can't understand that.
I don't know whether any person has landed on another planet; I suspect it might be drones.

They have no reason to lie.
Apple Sky has every reason to claim that they are lying because believing them would mean the end of her beliefs.

Do you really think it would challenge her belief in salvation?

She's already agreed that the shape of the earth has nothing to do with salvation.

I don't just believe, I know, as God tells me so.

God tells me so, through his signalling, he always points me in the right direction.
God does do such things, but you are asking us to believe you on only your word. I’ve met a few “prophets” who were entirely sincere, but they didn’t follow up with evidence. So it comes down to believing the prophets on their word or believing the prophets on evidence of the Bible or evidence on actions. I have no disrespect for you, but why should I believe you?

No, he doesn't.
There are no Bible verses which say that we shouldn't believe scientists.

How do you know it's God?
Why would God tell you that a Christian, who speaks of his time on the moon and also says how important it is to know Jesus, is lying?
