  • 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

    Creationism (doctrine and teaching)

    Thank you mark, but that is not very clear. You appear to be saying evolutionary creationists/TEs attack essential doctrine and change the testimony of scripture, and you welcome it? I doubt that's what you meant. Let me ask again in a different way. In your view, are there any specific...

    Creationism (doctrine and teaching)

    Hi mark Perhaps I'm not following, but are you saying Christian evolutionary creationists have no right to criticize the claims of young-earth creationists? Thanks S

    What is the BEST scientific evidence for a Global flood?

    No problem. Do let me know if I've correctly understood your intepretation of ice layers in post #332 and, if so, what's your documentation. Regards S

    What is the BEST scientific evidence for a Global flood?

    But AV1611VET did provide a reason - he trusts the documentation more than the evidence. Regards S

    What is the BEST scientific evidence for a Global flood?

    Thanks AV1611VET Let's go along with your analogy such that, in the absence of documentation, the observer would conclude that the stack is 24,000 years old. I take it, then, that your interpretation of the ice layers is this: they were formed after the great flood and thousands of years...

    What is the BEST scientific evidence for a Global flood?

    Hi AV1611VET So how can one interpret the observations from ice cores that correlate the ice layers with the earth's orbital parameters, other than by acknowledging the earth has orbited the sun at least 100,000 times? Regards S

    What is the BEST scientific evidence for a Global flood?

    Hi AV1611VET But we have counted the ice layers - hundreds of thousands of them. Did you know that as snow falls it traps atmospheric gas in layers? When we take an ice core we can examine the various gases that were trapped within those layers when the snow fell in the past, and these are...

    Are Chickens Dinosaurs?

    Hi Their skeletons are pretty similar, and there are intermediate forms, so at a glance it appears to be a logical classification: Cheers

    Bring It-Fresh Debate

    Hi AV1611VET Pray, what is the difference between worldly sense and logic and the kind you use? In particular, what is your hermeneutic based on, if not on worldly sense and logic? Thanks S.

    My Light Bulb Challenge

    Just bumping this question in case you missed it. Thanks AV1611VET, I'm glad we got that cleared up. So, back my question which is still standing: Q. Why did you create the light-bulb comprising physical evidence that it was once used, when in fact it has never been used and was created...

    My 50¢ Challenge

    I wasn't saying He can't. I was saying your question entails a logical contradiction: "How can God create a legitimate coin that is not a legitimate coin?" This doesn't make any sense, so its an ill-formed question that can't be answered. I suppose we could make the contradiction disappear by...

    Questions about Mt. St. Helens

    Hi AV1611VET I'm not trying to convince you of anything. I'm pointing out how your argument from Psalms was false and irrelevant. This goes to show the weakness of your position. Documentation that the physical evidence shows you are misinterpreting with regard to the age of the earth...

    My 50¢ Challenge

    Hmm, I don't think its possible AV1611VET. Legitimate 50c pieces are made in the mint, not ex nihilo. So a legitimate 50c piece made ex nihilo is a logical contradiction, and thus impossible. Cheers S.
