  • 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

    Trillions of Atoms

    Then they're all wrong and ought to be corrected. I'll get right on it. Anyway, all I can visualize when I think of "hydrogen burning" is the Hindenburg.

    Thus missing the point completely. Genesis doesn't provide any empirical evidence of anything, nor was it meant to. It's best summarized as " God created everything, full stop. I've heard that all my life, but for some reason when my acquaintancnes who were into "occult" stuf couldn't seem to...

    "Aliens" being a way of describing unknown gods while trying not to sound unacceptably deistic .

    Purely deterministic universe. Because the planets didn't align in such a way as to result in you "seeing". Deterministic universe. Doesn't matter. In a purely materialist universe, what the two of you believe or don't is simply the result of rolling the cosmic bones.

    Revelation 13 mark of the beast is the hexagram.

    The Revelator said it was the number of a man, and that those to whom he was writing (the seven churches) would recognize. All other "explanations" are, as the old saying goes, "too clever by half".
