  • 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

    Liars, stupid, or both?

    I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop tainting the image of Christians with your disingenuous ways. How can you expect anyone to be open minded about Christianity when you act the way you do?

    we still evolving

    It already is to an extent. Many people who would've otherwise died out are now able to go on and have kids. There are also social factors such as welfare. -Whereas in the past, a person without a job would be likely to starve to death, nowadays they're sustained on welfare. One thing is for...

    we still evolving

    Another important factor apart from mate selection, is simply who chooses to have children. Studies have shown that people in the developed world are having fewer children and more people are choosing to have no children. People in the developing world, on the other hand, still have many children.

    How many Christians accept evolution, and how many reject it?

    Maybe the 6 days are metaphorical.

    My question was about the numbers of Christians that accept as opposed to reject evolution. It wasn't about "creationists' vs 'evolutionary scientists.' BTW Creationism and evolution aren't mutually exclusive. [B] I think you'll find you're mistaken here. Scientists base their...

    Genesis interpretation question

    Wow, this thread has gone very off topic. :) Shimon, does your religion accept any parts of the new testament? Does it have any written account of Jesus?

    Ahh okay. So you're Jewish? What do you consider to be a "misuse" of God's name?
