  • 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

    You YECs sure it hasn't been 7000 years?

    I had a friend who used to excavate a Catal Huyak. It may be even older than that.

    The short answer is yes. If you want the long answer, just leave your credit card and social security number in your next post. ;)

    Intelligent Design Criteria

    The subject interests me. From an information point of view, the signal that we see in the natural world pretty strongly points towards evolution. I was wondering how scientists in a future age would deal with things like that if the signal had been tampered with in the past.

    Old Scientific Bible proof

    Carey, I went out of my way to read that whole page. It's typical hunt and peck creationist apologetics pseudoscience. The production of helium has nothing to do with photon decoupling. Helium nuclei are formed during a nucleosynthesis event that took place during the period about 100 to 300...

    Out of Africa 2 - new information

    What's interesting is that what seems to be driving a lot of the objections (especially by Chinese scientists) are national ideologies. The Japanese do a very similar sort of thing with the archaeology of Japan. In many ways, this is the same kind of thing that we see when religious ideologies...

    Intelligent Design Criteria

    Intelligent design does not have a self-consistent set of of criteria that can be used to judge its claims. I'd like to start building a really rigorous one. Imagine a scenario where civilization ends in 50 to 100 years. Thousands of years later, it builds itself up to a comparable level of...

    When Kent E. Hovind is released from prison will creationists welcome him home?

    At one of the fundamentalist or "conservative" news sites, I saw a reference to Hovind being a martyr and his imprisonment have to do with championing creationism; that the tax evasion charges were merely a excuse to imprison him. I did find this through a quick google search...

    The Work of Immanuel Velikovsky

    It's weird. I used to love stuff like Velikovsky and Von Däniken as a kind. Now, I can't stand that kind of crap. Conspiracy thinking of any kind just plain annoys me these days.

    The consequences of creationism.

    If that was truly the case, why were the "backwards" Soviets putting satellites up in orbit. The early Soviet sucesses in space are what prompted our (now diluted) drive towards scientific education.

    The consequences of creationism.

    ElijahFalling, I'd love to, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it. At one point in time, I even went far enough as to call the ICR and ask them. The secretary who answered the phone was less than helpful. :(
