  • 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.

    Apparent Age & The Incredible Foreknowledge of God

    Welcome to the discussion about LastThursdayism. How do you know A&E had no scars, belly button or otherwise? Can you provide evidence for that claim? What is Genesis? It is a creation story for which some evidence can be found in "ancient" texts. Where did the "ancient" texts come from...

    Is denying God moral? (Atheists)

    Ed1wolf: No, I have never heard that term before, but I have encountered the basic argument before. The evidence is that the Christian God who created the universe claims He does not lie and then once you have a personal relationship and experience with Him, it is confirmed that He does not lie...

    Apparent Age & The Incredible Foreknowledge of God

    Nic, Do try to stay on track. We were discussing ships large enough to carry kangaroos and elephants to the far corners of the world. Wood, pitch, etc. for building large ships would not have been available for many years. Ship building knowledge was lost as evidenced by the fact that large...

    You really need to read things before commenting on them (how many times have I said that to you?). Last Thursdayism is the idea that the universe was created last Thursday, but with the physical appearance of being billions of years old. Under Last Thursdayism, books, fossils, light already on...
