  • 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.

I don't know, you tell me, your the one claiming they are there.
Here. I posted this for your little buddy that has been posting here but he ignored it like it had the plague. You can’t ignore objective evidence.

The second research goal fo the LUNAR team is to probe the interior structure of the Moon using accurate measurments of the Earth-Moon distance using small retro-reflectors placed on the lunar surface. Several reflectors are already sitting on the Moon, placed by Apollo astronauts and Soviet lunar landers. However, the technology is 40 years old, and significant scientific improvments can be made with newer, more accurate reflectors. Besides looking underneath the lunar crust, these reflectors can be used to test several astronomical theories.​

God knows all. It is quite clever that “scire” is also the root of
our modern word: “science” which just means: “knowledge.”
God is all science. God is all knowledge. Anything in science that
does not back up what God made/believes is faulty. Any science
that denies God is pseudoscience.
Of course God is all-knowing, but he is not a scientist. For thousands of years, man has been discovering and investigating the creation of God. God already knows, so He doesn’t investigate. For example, He doesn’t study how blood flows and works in the body. Scientists do that. We are to study His creation and appreciate the wonder of what God has done. It has only been in the last hundred years or so that many scientists reject God, but many study His work knowing full well that He designed things as they are for His glory. The Bible is the word of God, but He didn’t tell us about physics, chemistry, biology, and a host of other scientific fields, because that is not the purpose of the Bible. However, He gave us a brain so we can learn and glorify Him. It is like studying a work of art and seeing the character of the artist. You are being unfair to scientists, doctors, and engineers that believe in God and see His hand in all of creation.

Yes I can,
Ok then.
From the Bible, explain to me the theory of relativity.
From the Bible, explain how God made the human body; why he gave us an appendix, tonsils or five fingers on each hand. How he decided we would have 23 pairs of chromosomes and so on.
Show me the passages in the Bible which explain osmosis or photosynthesis.
Where does it tell us that God decided to give birds, feathers and fish, gills?
How did God decide to give a giraffe a long neck and an elephant a trunk? Did you know that an elephant has 4,000 muscles in its trunk? Guess what? I learnt that at our local zoo, not from the Bible.

God knows all.
Yes, he does.
But he hasn't told us ALL in the Bible. That is not its purpose.
The Bible is about God, his character and nature and the relationship he wants to have with us; his creation. If people had to wade through thousands of pages which described creation scientifically and astronomically, no one would ever get to the end of Genesis, never mind anything else.

Yes but still he does tell us about the earth, moon, the sun & all the stars where he has named each one.

What do you mean, "yes" - you obviously can't.
Therefore, you cannot debate science from the Bible - you've just proved it.
but still he does tell us about the earth, moon, the sun & all the stars where he has named each one.
He mentions them.
But he doesn't explain what he made the moon from, how many miles away from the earth he placed it or why we see it in different phases. He doesn't explain light years, or how far away the various stars are.
He doesn't tell us what the sun is made of, nor how it has shone for thousands of years without either burning up, or going out. He hasn't explained the weather. Or how it can be pouring with rain in one town - or even one street - but not the next one.

How many stars do you think there are? I doubt the Bible tells us, so how did you come up with that number?

No, you haven't yet posted a number; but presumably you have some idea?

So many & yet so few. :(
Those are just some of the famous ones. They didn't even lists my friend Nicolaus Copernicus who you called a liar. For every one on the lists there are thousands of less famous scientists. Do you realize how irrational you sound. You will believe some nobody on the Internet and not believe the host of Christian scientists that know much more. By the way, do you know that Newton spent more time studying the Bible than he did on science?

I doubt that will make any difference to her - she has said that a born again Christian astronaut is a liar.

I didn't actually call him a liar, I said that his work was published after his death, the work that even himself didn't want published.
