  • 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

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    This has no bearing whatsoever on the argument. If God knows anything, it must be a composite, and the article doesn't even try to address that crucial issue.

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    You're a funny sort of a person to debate with. Don't you remember what it was that you were objecting to in the first place? If God knows anything, then it must be able to store information, which requires being able to distinguish between different states, such as "michabo is male" and...

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    It is no mistake, it uses the descriptions of the Christian God straight from the mouth of Christians. It is an illustration that the descriptions of the Christian God lead to inconsistencies. To simply state that the Christian God is eternal when it has been demonstrated that the description...

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    Well, no one can say that you don't have a good grasp of Christian Apologetics. Unfortunately, that isn't a rebuttal nor a counterargument, it's just the hands-over-the-ears rejection of reality that typifies apologetic arguments. There is no mistake.

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    Um, no. He attacks all monotheisms. See my above post for an elaboration. He does give an argument for why any omniscient God must be more complex than the Universe. In short, at a minimum it must have some system for storing the state of all particles in the universe, for all times of the...

    Richard Dawkins pseudoscience.

    1. If you're right and he's using an incorrect definition, this does not make it pseudoscience! No where in your OP do you even say anything which would hint at pseudoscience. 2. It is not false, and it is not Creationism. Theistic Evolutionists do believe that God is "superhuman...

    I would like to apologise to any creationists I have offended in the past.

    While it's true that opposition just deepens their cognitive dissonance, I don't think that any sort of persuasion is likely to pierce their shield. Personally, I think that we need to create an environment where they will receive mockery, ridicule, and scorn when they try to sell their brand...

    Where did the big bang come from?

    I suspect that, despite claims to the contrary, theists don't come to form a belief in a god based on the presence of something or nothing or any other logical process for that matter. Instead, they form a belief in a god and then they retroactively seek to justify this belief. If you already...

    Where did the big bang come from?

    My apologies if I was too hasty and didn't properly understand, I'm sure the fault was all mine.

    Where did the big bang come from?

    The next obvious question is to ask whether "god" is something or nothing. If something, then clearly something can come from nothing since god did. If nothing, then still something can come from nothing since we came from god. Both choices are worse than that. If God is something, then God...

    Where did the big bang come from?

    I don't see how these paragraphs align. If you think common sense and reality don't align, how can you make statements about reality such as "something can't come from nothing" and not base it on any observations? The point is that when you and others say "obvious and uncontroversial", you are...

    Where did the big bang come from?

    What exactly do you mean by "something" and "nothing"? Why should we care about common sense? What do you mean by "something"?

    Where did the big bang come from?

    Lots of people are saying that something can't come from nothing, deriding that as nonsensical. It isn't nonsensical, it's counter-intuitive. Before making statements about this, I'd like to know what you mean by "something". Are you talking about matter, in which case you're wrong, something...

    Evolution: The Science Fiction Story!

    What if the Lord really lied, can we call him a liar then?

    Other fun and active C&E boards out there?

    There's the Uncommon Descent blog run by Bill Dembski, but just like other creationist sites, they delete any posts which challenge their views and ban persistent offenders (ie: anyone who challenges their views). Looks like even Creationists know that their ideas cannot survive unless their...
