  • 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

    It's been done, but not by me: FREE WILL

    Combatabilism, in the commonly used philisophical sense, under which I am opperating, holds that portions of both sides are correct, in that people's actions are partly determined and partly free. It is illogical, what you are speaking about is something different. There is no reason to...

    It's been done, but not by me: FREE WILL

    Combatalism is illogical. We are either wholy free, or wholy determined. If we are even a little bit determined, or determined probabilistically, then we are still determined and not free. I included six as a re-statement, and concluscion. It helps bind the argument together and helps with...

    It's been done, but not by me: FREE WILL

    I saw a few responces that I wanted to reply to. See below: The importance of this idea is that if indeed we have no free will, and people do not act in a manner of their own choosing, then we cannot rightfully make any moral judgements, since all traditional moral theories rely upon the...

    Us and who else?

    According to my archological teacher (who has a Phd in Physical anthropology), there is no direct empirical evidence to suggest that humans and Neadethals had direct contact with one another. Some site showed that humans and Neaderthals shared similar territories, but there are hundreds of years...

    It's been done, but not by me: FREE WILL

    It's more of a cautionairy thing:"Don't make use of it unless you actually have some formal understanding fo the field." Quantum mechanics is hideiously complex, and it is something that I believe should not be lightly refered to without a great understanding of the field. Besides, I would...

    An Argument in defense of Hard Determinism. 1. All events have causes 2. Our actions are events. 3. all caused events are determined by the past ____________________________ 4. Our actions are determined by the past 5. If our actions are determined by the past, then we have no power to...

    In response to a previous thread, I think I have figured out the reason to live.

    Homosexuality existed before humans had the ability to significantly manipulate their environments. It can be found to exist in animals in nature as well, suggesting that at least part of the reason people/animals that are homosexual are that way because of environmental and genetic factors...

    Cause and Effect

    As I have said in other threads, opposits as they are traditonally thought of are not needed for their "opposit" to exist or be understood. Good is not the other side of the coin for evil, meaning that they exist independently in actions from another. Evil is not the absense of good, as many...

    Balancing out.

    slight side step It's my opinion that creationists attact evolution so vehemently is that they believe if they could somehow disprove evolution, the next logical step is to take up evolution. Obviously that is not the case, but it is what they believe (for the many, and part of the reason on...

    Flaws in the ID theory

    Part of the difference is how the views are represented. ID argument foolows a different kind of argument than do creationists. Part of the difference is that Id is not directly tied into a specific religion, though most IDers are christain right, not all are. It, like more intangible...

    What's so great about pleasure?

    You don't need suffering to understand pleasure, they are not two sides of the same coins, but rather independent concepts. Admittedly, it often helps to understand somethings opposite to help make said something more understandable, but is not necessary. Do you need to understand "hot" to...

    Flaws in the ID theory

    What depresses me is that while creationists seem to be either simply deluded or crazy, many IDers are smart enough that they should know better, but don't.

    Question for Creationists

    He is left with almost all the liberal arts majors, bussiness, some kinds of engineers, sociol sciences, law, gov't theory,theology, a language, mathmatics, philosophy, etc. Though philosophy might be a dangerous one to get into, depending on where you go. But considerin that even heavily...

    Why a common designer

    Id is not science, and does not follow the rules of science, and because if, is not falsifiable. If ID has any relation to science, it is as pseudoscience. The most that can be done is respond to ID critiques of evolution, showing how the critiques are wrong. I personally have more repsect...
