  • 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

    Kent Hovind vs. Einstein

    Consider this: Hovind, in his bankruptcy trial, stated under oath that he owned no property. In his arrest for assault, he stated that the apartment was in a house that was his property, and that he had the right to expel the occupants in the manner he chose to exercise that day. In my...

    Survival of the fittest

    'Fittest' doesn't necessarily mean biggest, strongest or bulletproof. Survival doesn't always require the ability to benchpress your own weight. 'Evolutionary advantage' does suggest the ability to live long enough to pass on genes, and promote the survival of offspring...

    Should we give up on Creationism as a Science?

    In school? That shouldn't be....even if the student starts it, unless it's a comparitive religion class, or maybe history.... My take is that the Bible isn't a scientific book. It doesn't belong in a science class, for or against. I'd suspect the teacher trying to disprove the bible is...

    A new song...just for giggles.

    We've Common Ancestry With Actions! To the tune of "Great Big Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts" I may never swing through the tropic trees, Swim in Antarctic seas, Make honey with the bees. I may never be as green as garden peas, But we've common ancestry. Yes, sir! Oh, we've...

    Lies for Christ?

    Doesn't 1 John say somewhere that christians are incapable of committing sin?

    The Two Differences

    would you say that it takes no work to live by the commandments? Just believe in God and obey the laws?

    The Two Differences

    I think you're confusing terms....I don't think 'good works' isjust effort, is it? And the effort for enlightenment is rather self-interested. I thought the works/faith thing was faith in God, and works for the benefit of fellow man...

    The Two Differences

    Um, the triple rede? It doesn't require works, but warns of consequence of action. The purpose of living, in many religions that promote reincarnation, is to learn. Enlightenment is the goal, 'works' is just something you do. Those that have achieved buddhahood may stick around, to teach...

    Noah and those pesky koala bears...

    yes, fresh water for forty days....and for the rest of the trip? You do realize it was a year, right? If they had to store water for the whole trip, it would cut down on the space available for food or animals. A year's worth of food and water for the elephants alone would take substantial...

    Common Ancestor or Common Designer?

    Both positions use the same evidence, that current life forms share characteristics, and come to different conclusions. The only way to 'attack' the idea of a common designer is to question his logic. If we were the most bestest and beloved creation, why are squid's eyes better designed...

    Data that confirms creationism

    It's not just atheists that target it, but heresologists have held it to be heresy. To suggest that you should believe in a God that may not exist because it is the best bet? To entertain the idea that millions of christians believe in a non-existant deity? Not a terribly faith-holding view...

    Noah and those pesky koala bears...

    Did you really wanna post this, or did the devil make you do it? If so, maybe you should have floated the idea around your home before posting it. You wanna be careful about barge-ing into a discussion of the Ark. You could cause a big row. People will be lining up in pairs to refute your...

    11th commandment?

    it's not an implication, it's implicit...that's why they're called commandments. But how universal a command can it be if it contradicts another universal command? That's my point. Even if it were in commandment form, it wouldn't matter a bit. People would still find justification and...
