  • 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.

    Who can identify a couple of created "kinds"?

    The naive believes everything - Proverbs 14:15 I got to say dad, I'm a schizophrenic with a severe depression disorder but you, your crazy.

    How did apes evolvle into humans?

    [delurk] There is much more hope for you than Carico. The key is time. It is hard to look at the intricacies of a human being or a cat or a dog and not see the hand of a creator. BUT, it is just as hard to fathom how long three and a half billion years is. Or to wrap your head around 600 million...

    The great thinker?

    Silly you. The lion had to suffer because a human being ate a piece of fruit over six thousand years ago. When will you ever learn-God is a just God.

    Yeah, trips across the vast gulf of space. That would be "cool". :thumbsup:

    Love your enemies. What do you think of it?

    I think that hatred was necesary in the past. The emotion would govern the actions of our ancestors and play a part in the complex social relationships that developed among groups of humans and between groups of humans. IMHO hate is almost always coupled with the desire for revenge or at least...

    Stem Cell Research

    For us to grasp it you would have to provide some evidence. This should be simple. What is it that makes us human? Does the embryo share these attributes? Can it feel love? Does it have consciousness? Can it make moral decisions? Can it feel pain etc etc? I would argue that the christian...

    What if there's no God?

    If reading the stars didn't help you discern the future, there would be no such thing as astrology. :scratch: Something like this slave trade? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3985885.stm You are stuck in a corner, if God exists then you have no evidence of what it would be like if he...

    Abortion

    I am just wondering where you are coming from. If you are not in favor of stem cell research or are undecided, please explain why. If you are in favor of stem cell research than what is it about abortion that makes it different?

    Abortion

    Not to switch topics, but how do you feel about stem cell research? Since, by your own acknowledgement, it cannot be proved that a fetus is a person, wouldn't it be better to alleviate the suffering and save the human life we know for a fact exists?

    Creationists - Christ's worst enemies

    [delurk] No one, Why do you ask? We are supposed to be debating evolution. Since you seem so fond of this type of argument I am sure you will have no problem applying it to other areas of belief, right? I have never seen words come out of a snake or a donkey's mouth, have you? No...

    Abortion

    [delurk] I am undecided on the "abortion issue" in general. Man, it is a tough one. I assume that you have no problem with the killing of animals when it is to the benefit of human beings. So what is it that separates us from the animals? What is it that makes us human? What makes the embryo on...

    how people survived ?

    [delurk] I imagine fire had something to do with it. Even a lion might go onto easier prey when confronted with ten or twelve of our ancestors brandishing burning sticks. I am no expert but I imagine as intelligence developed, body strength might have been retained until it became an uneccessary...

    Can world peace ever be attained by humans?

    [delurk] There will certianly be no peace with this kind of defeatist attitude. There might be a way to achieve world peace but it is definitely controversial and there is no guarantee it will work. With genetic engineering we may be able to downplay the parts of our nature that influence the...

    Does the Bible address the concept of Evolution?

    [delurk] I prefer the creation story of some indian tribes in southern California where humans were descended from animals (coyotes). [/lurk]
