  • 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.

    Evolution: Why It Is A Lie - Science Points To A Designer And So Does The Bible

    The "pro-evolution" crowd on this board is much larger than the creationist crowd, and has been for the entire time that I have been reading this forum (several years). We never "quiet down", it is creationists who flare up. First time here?

    'green' Gore Goes Gulfstream: Video Catches Eco-warrior On Luxury Private Jet

    Arguments like this are the most vapid and shallow of any in the political global warming controversy. Gore has to weigh the pros and cons of his actions. He can either fly a private jet and contribute negligibly to CO2 emissions while telling as many people as possible about the need for...

    Young Earth Opinion of Global Warming

    Hold on, hold on, can I jump in here? I study China, and I was alarmed to see Merlin's claim that China has higher CO2 emissions than the United States. That is obviously not true, either in absolute or per capita terms. This was explained to Merlin, and yet she has not retracted her claim...

    Is it right to force the theory of evolution down highschooler's throats?

    Please choose a different font color. I can't read anything that you are writing.

    More about creationism

    Wait, the timescale says both that it is based on sediments "found across the Earth" and also that there is no "global synthesis" for the layers. Since they apparently have gone to a bunch of places on the earth, why can't they go into more detail on the differences between areas? What area...

    Endogenous Retroviral Insertions: Not Proof of Man-Monkey Kindred

    Work continues to be done on the function of non-coding DNA. Common descent hasn't blinded anyone to its potential functions, and research has continued to the present day. Therefore, your argument falls apart. "Junk DNA" was just a popular science buzzword.

    What are George Bush's views on evolution?

    Yes, it would. If he were a YEC, it would mean that his standards of logic and evidence are almost nonexistent. As a result, I wouldn't have faith in anything he said on any issue. I'm not judging his personality, or morality, just his ability to do his job. YECs are nice people, but would I...

    Question for evolutionists

    This impression is wrong. Disabuse yourself of it immediately.

    Question for evolutionists

    Well, there is no such term as "most evolved" within the Theory of Evolution. Seriously, the nature of evolution means that such a concept does not exist. So I know you couldn't be asking about that. As for "dominating animals", in some contexts, yes, we do. If you really care about putting...

    Scientific basis for Creationism?

    What? Nothing you have said here makes any sense at all. The Big Bang and Evolution are nothing at all like your option #1.

    Larmarkianism, Gradualism, punctuated equilibriumism...

    To get back on topic and actually answer the OP's question... Lamarckianism is not supported by any evidence, as the inheritance of acquired characteristics is impossible. This theory is not a modern theory, and not a competitor for the best explanation of the available evidence. Punctuated...

    Exposing the Evolutionist’s Sleight-of-Hand With the Fossil Record

    Looking for strings of fossils that show nice, smooth gradual evolution like that can only lead to trouble. In the past, scientists believed horse evolution to be a perfect model of this type of evolution. In fact, our view was obscured by the passage of time, and horses had actually...

    Frequent objections to creationism

    What did he do? Count every bone as a separate organ? A little googling brought up that there are only about 22 internal organs, plus some relatively small number of other organs. I don't think you could get to 180 using any definition of "organ" that I know of.

    Frequent objections to creationism

    This is awfully spurious. Yes, the name "junk DNA" was used informally, but it is a long jump to say that the name completely polluted the mindset of scientists and prevented them from researching the matter thoroughly. For example, here is a link to an article from this year talking about...

    Frequent objections to creationism

    Uh, this is probably just due to my own ignorance, but do humans even have 198 organs in total? Is that a typo?
