  • 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.

    The founding of the Akkadian Empire was 14 days ago.

    I'd say the brand new bicycle is brand new :| (E: by definition).

    is there a soul?

    Ok... So do you think a baby destined to be stillborn resulting from e.g. trauma to the pregnant mother still has a soul? If they had a soul at conception, did the soul leave them at some point, or does the soul still inhabit the dead body upon birth?

    is there a soul?

    If you do believe in a soul, at what point does it actually occur? Does the soul enter a being when the sperm meets the egg, or when the baby is born, or when?

    Doesn’t Mendel’s theory disprove Evolution?

    What reason is there to assume it doesn't go on similarly?

    Creation or Evolution? BORING!!!

    ...and people do budge from their beliefs.

    Future evolution of humans

    I think it's good to remember that evolution always occurs in the context of the present - hence it's a logical non-statement to ask whether we are still evolving / will evolve in the future. Surely, our evolution will take a very different path than what we've come to picture as evolution in...

    More absurdities of science

    I still don't get how we're meant to believe that there's water in the air. It's pretty obvious there's nothing there, because otherwise we'd see it!

    The potential of the soul in science

    Well we'd have to define "soul" before doing anything else. Otherwise we won't get anywhere.

    The potential of the soul in science

    I'm not sure I know what you mean by this?

    The potential of the soul in science

    As far as I've understood the only debatable matter here is whether our consciousness' origins can be found by investigating the single neuron, or if it's only the larger network of many neurons linked together.

    Why is "Big Bang' so important to Creationists?

    And another thorough evisceration of the English language. /thread imho.

    Why is "Big Bang' so important to Creationists?

    Wow. I'm wondering where I got the crazy notion that "relative", in this case, meant that the situation's parameters change according to your frame of reference. How can you (physicist, chemist, geneticist) be so misinformed?

    On atheists and Hell...

    I really can't understand this post. You're suggesting because I have a conscience and other intangible characteristics, that points towards a Creator? Actually, my substance of flesh and bone is all that makes me who I am. The wind analogy is kinda vain, as is the morality one (ps "can't see...

    On atheists and Hell...

    The sincere desire to seek the God that one knows through their conscience.. What would make a Christian god conform to this internal idea better than a Muslim god? or any other god for that matter? Reading Gospel, imho, will give an idea of a God that people can relate to. Obviously, since...

    On atheists and Hell...

    Not wanting to debate this, let's call it a given. Still - it makes no difference. What would make personal relationship more important? Of course I needed more than birth to come into this world. I did need nurturing, and a place to call home. Believe it or not, that is what i called home. A...
