  • 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

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    Right. Since the pores are closed, oxygen can't escape. The oxygen accumulates, and very quickly is at a higher concentration than carbon dioxide and rubisco, not being able to tell the difference, starts using oxygen and photorespiring.

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    Correct. I'm glad you see it as such. More or less, yes. Not quite. Rubisco is the ENZYME that attaches CO2 to RuBP, which is a 5-carbon sugar, at the outset of the Calvin Cycle. Okay, as for the problem.... Stomata (the openings in plants that allow for CO2 to come into the plant for...

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    Hmm... I understand that you don't have an understanding of rubisco...Its not exactly headline news (the rubisco, I mean). But I have trouble accepting that enzymes involved in photosynthesis are flawed because of man's fall from grace. I don't know. Perhaps this was the wrong forum to present...

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    The debate isn't whether or not rubisco has a flaw--it does; accepting O2 over CO2 and causing photorespiration is a flaw. The question is how a creationist would explain how it came about.

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    Thank you for the article. However, it does not discuss the flaw of rubisco, only the creationist reasoning of how it is constructed and how it works.

    Question for a Creationist Biologist

    This is a question for a biologist (or someone with a good understanding of biology) who is also a creationist. But, so that everyone can get the jist of the argument, I will do my best to explain everything. Starting with some background: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, and...

    what bible to read and how do you pray?

    We are all good at prayer because Jesus Himself taught us how! The Our Father is an excellent prayer. Also, the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi is wonderful. I use the New American Bible.

    Pray for me, my brethren...

    I am currently discerning a vocation to the priesthood, and I thought I might, perhaps, recieve more prayers specifically for this from fellow Catholics... I ask that you pray that I may see God's plan for me...Where in His vineyard He created me to work. Indebted to you, and most humbly...
