  • 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.

    Jericho - Bible account is correct

    Jericho - Bible account is correct

    actually kenyon is wrong and she did base her datings on what she did not find. her problem was that other cities given different dates than jericho (around the 1400 b.c. mark) were missing the same pottery. dating is very subjective, even the pottery scale for there are just too many options...

    Looking for some research

    in doing any research, you have to be very discerning and make sure you are on God's path and not a secular deception. many decpetions sound very close to the Bible but be wary. ask God for help to lead you to the right books first.

    Why should Christians be involved in Archaeology?

    the christian needs to study the evidence and proclaim God's answer to what took place. we cannot leave it up to those who do not believe the Bible or who christianize secular thinking to produce the truth. the truth is there , it is the Bible and the evidence is there to back upthe biblical...

    please provide a natural explanation for:

    not talking about the 2 children that is why there is a bolded phrase. not at all. it is a physical event that science should be able to explore and provide a natural explanation. it has been claimed that science can see into the past, here is a test to prove such a claim.

    please provide a natural explanation for:

    Fossils Challenge Old Evolution Theory

    you missed the point--the truth doesn't change that is why evolution never existed and creation as told in genesis is true. it has been true from the beginning and will forever be true because it never changes.
