  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    how does people worship satan in their churches(do not move this thread)

    Okay, I see a lot of misconceptions about Satanism on this thread, so here's the real deal. Forms of Satanism 1) Christian Satanism - practicioners worship the devil of the Bible, and may ultimately seek to "defeat" Jesus. 2) Anti-social angst-ridden people (teenagers mostly) who think...

    Please, if you would, pray for my neighbor

    Thank you all so much for the prayers, I am indeed truly indebted. My neighbor is still in the hospital, and will be for at least a few more days, but the bruising of her pancreas and duodenum has begun to reside, and so has the rather severe hematoma that had developed. Her intestines are...

    Please, if you would, pray for my neighbor

    My 15-year old neighbor collided with a railing while bicycling at her high school last friday. She had severe internal bleeding in the abdominal area, and also has a bruised pancreas and duodenum. The doctors say she could be staying in the hospital for up to three weeks from now. If any of...

    Final stumpers for Creationists

    To Franc28: Like elephanticity said, microevolution is a legitimate scientific term. Also, like everyone else here has said, you do come off as being extremely condescending. HOWEVER, I've noticed that nobody has actually answered your questions either. I don't know how many creationists...

    Some of the ridiculous arguments creation scientists use...

    I think someone addressed this in another thread. Essentially any change in information, be it breaking down or aquiring new code, is the developement of "new" info. Similarly, Jack Chick asked in a tract co-authored by Kent Hovind, "isn't losing something [vestigial organs, etc.] the...

    Some of the ridiculous arguments creation scientists use...

    But what if it was? I think it was you, although it might have been Lambslove or someone, who told me that the Woods Hole experiment which clearly demonstrated speciation did not create "true" speciation. What would it take to prove conclusively that macroevolution and speciation are real?

    Witchcraft...Wicca...Satanism?

    Yikes, ljmandtina, that hardly sounds like Wicca at all. It much more closely resembles all that "New-Age" stuff that I, personally, find to be a great mockery of Earth religions.

    Witchcraft...Wicca...Satanism?

    But how am I supposed to accept demons and evil spirits when you dismiss Annwn? To be honest, I don't really care. But you see how your question can be turned around.

    Macro-Evolution

    I still don't see, in many of your examples, why thermodynamics is a factor. Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics are related, but entropy can also stand alone. And it does, when it occurs in a system not associated with heat and heat energy.

    Discontinued debunked and dismissed creationist arguments

    Stogus, it was believed that all those arguments were either 1) based on the word of God, or 2) were scientific claims based on numerical figures presented in the Bible. Late_Cretaceous, Great article. I can't believe the guy at AIG said not to use the "microevolution is true...

    Witchcraft...Wicca...Satanism?

    To continue in this run of pseudo-personal attacks, I feel I need to comment on this quote, piece by piece. Bear in mind that I do not intend to make concrete judgements about you or your family, but instead I am commenting on the situation as I have interpreted in your posts. Yet you have...

    Macro-Evolution

    I addressed this in another thread, but you are using the second law of thermodynamic incorrectly, ELWAR. It applies to heat systems (thus thermo), not biological systems. Perhaps increasing entropy could become a law of biodynamics... but there is no evidence of negative entropy increasing...

    explain to me why Evolution is deemed Taboo

    There is no evidence to suggest micro-devolution is taking place on a universal biological scale. Some like to point out that humans are now more gracile, and thus physically weaker, than ever before. But this has to do with an increase in the overall ease of human life, not biological...

    Age

    I phrased it badly. I was saying that the verse in your sig goes against the parts of the Bible where you are commanded to think specific ways or be at risk of sinning. Mollusks absorb carbon from their environment. Nobody said Carbon dating was always right. The issue is addressed in...

    I want you to meet someone - our great grand mother from ~4 million generations ago

    I think the critter is kinda cute looking, actually.
