  • 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

    AV1611VET seems to forget that this is part of the science forum. How about arguing with some science?

    To the fence-sitters: let me tell you why evolutionism is not feasible

    Well, I laugh at creationism, and I feel sad for creationists. Since I don't believe that laughing at them will make them change their mind or educate them, it doesn't seem to have much of a point. I mostly feel anger and sadness for those poor people being indoctrinated, trapped, ignorant, and...

    We All Got Major Poe'd

    It was made by Michael Edmondson, who was a computer animator for Expelled. He wrote to Myers: So in fact it isn't a video from either side making fun of the other side, but just a fun video. :)

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

    I'll try to use logical steps to come to my conclusion. 1) Free will can only be the result of indeterminacy, because if something is determined, it cannot be free. 2) We define free will as a property that is exclusive to organisms with a higher consciousness, because without a higher...

    I love being a Creationist!

    Hmm, you've got a good point there. The reflex of getting off the plate is probably caused like you have described, and the adrenalin only starts to have its effect afterwards (I can't believe I didn't think about the fact that the adrenalin has to diffuse throughout the circulatory system...

    I love being a Creationist!

    A reflex to a threatening situation is the result of heightened adrenaline release. Adrenaline heightens supply in oxygen and glucose to the muscles and brain, so that for a short time you are able to respond quicker to threatening situations.

    Also, if you sit on a stove, the sudden pain will cause an adrenalin rush that will cause you to very quickly jump up from there, much faster than you would have if you had consciously thought "oh my, my butt is getting warm, I better get off of here".

    I'm not a doctor, but I'm getting Animal Physiology during my Bio Engineer studies and yes, the heart keeps beating seperated from the rest of the body, it is myogenic, since the sinoatrial node is located in the heart itself and initiates the wave of excitation that makes the heart contract...

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

    If you say someone deserves this or that because of the actions he/she undertakes, you are basing what he/she deserves on the entity that "decides" which action to undertake. However, in a naturalistic reality, all we are made of, are particles of matter (and energy, but they are just 2...
