  • 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.

    God did not create from nothing

    I admit that I'm pressing the point. But what the Earth is showing us directly is key for why I completely reject the Biblical 6 days of Creation as literal truth. It means all the world to me that God's Creation can not lie. You know how I judge your embedded age by that standard. Its His...

    God did not create from nothing

    That God's Creation wouldn't lie is the point. That's why I brought up the Yellowstone Hotspot and the Hawaii Volcanic chain (Hawaiian-Emperor seamont chain) which show a long milt-million year geological history of change on God's Creation. We are in agreement that God's Creation can not lie.

    God did not create from nothing

    The details may need it's own thread, but your side stepping the question about how does one fit the basic geology needed to get it all into the Earth's present form in something less than 6000 years. Especially when the geology of the Earth itself shows a much longer history. I've asked this...

    Evidently God's choosing is 1 inch per year for at least the past 16 million years.

    God's Creation is showing us a multi-billion year history.

    God did not create from nothing

    That's easy. Tectonic activity. With the Yellowstone Hotspot the Earth actually shows that as happening. Anyone can actually go there and see the trail of calderas left behind. Point A to Point B is the result of the North American Continents westward movement of about an inch per year over...

    God did not create from nothing

    Actually you can go there and see directly. I've done that with the Yellowstone Hotspot when on a geological trip we visited the sites where it burned it's way across Oregon and Idaho. The trail left behind as it burned its way is in the Earth can be be seen and studied directly. I have no...

    God did not create from nothing

    When trying to stuff all of this Universe into 6 days of Creation, if feels like my brain gets very tiny.

    God did not create from nothing

    Did God just pop something up like the 4000 mile long Hawaiian chain that clearly shows that it was built up over many million of years? Or the Yellowstone Hot spot that clearly shows where it burned it's way across the North American plate? Are you saying that none of that geological activity...

    Jumping in here, as a Lover of God my centerpiece has become that whom Jesus prayed to. When taking in the geology of the whole Earth, my brain is just not capable of squeezing what we see with our own eyes into such a short time frame.

    God did not create from nothing

    The subject is about what God's Creation, as Created by God, tells us about it's self related to a 6000 year earth history verses a several billion year history.

    God did not create from nothing

    The Word of God that we find in His Creation as Created by God's own hand is more of direct line to the Creator HimSelf. How can you deny that?

    God did not create from nothing

    Well, that's exactly what's going on. This Creation is way more of direct connection to the Creator than is the Bible. The thing is, God's Creation is not lying to us. It's of God, so how could it?

    God did not create from nothing

    I also acknowledge all of the other Creation stories told around the world. But the one I hold dear to my heart is the one that God's own Creation is telling us. And that's a very different one than the 6000 year one as told in the Bible.
