  • 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.

    Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children

    I'm not sure what you mean. No scientist is going to teach gravity or evolution is anymore of a 'fact' than abiogenesis. A 'fact' isn't a scientific term. And no abiogenisis isn't a theory it is a field of study, and yes it makes an assumption, but it one well grounded in biological and chemical...

    Bill Nye: Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children

    As in organic material arises from inorganic. Of course one second on wikipedia would have told you that. But who needs facts when twisting the meaning makes you feel like you have a valid point.

    When people says things like this I shudder.

    Question for believers and atheists alike about dimensions and God existence.

    I believe you're operating under the assumptions that humans can't manipulate time like they can the first three dimensions. You can go to the same place in your house over and over again and you can move around your house, but you are always moving forward in time. People believe they can...

    Nuclear 'waste' is the SOLUTION and could run the world for 500 years!

    Worldview

    Where did he make these arguments, I can find no reference. The three relationships desribed sound like Greek narrative types: man vs. nature, man vs. himself, man vs. God/s. But in the context you're describing them the differentiations don't make any sense. Why are number one and three...

    Can you prove Reality, exists (without refering to reality)?

    Other had hit on this so all I can do is lend my support to this statement, but it all depends on how you define reality. But I will offer this counter argument to the concept that reality cannot be "proven". Science relies on the principle, it assumes, that there is an ordered universe. That...

    Going to holistic/Naturopath doctor....is it wrong?

    And you said you had only been to real doctors. Sorry but psychologists aren't doctors and you shouldn't see one for any reason other than counseling. No matter what they try to make you believe. On the other hand if your internists can't make a diagnosis you may want to try a psychiatrist. A...

    What other "theories" are crucial to science?

    There are thousands of theories that fit this bill. But if I had to narrow the field I would say kinetics, molecular theory,electrodynamics, evolution and thermodynamics have been the most important in terms of the numbers and usefulness of inventions that have been derived from the predictions...

    Logical fallacies

    I think that happens on most boards, it is a quality of internet topic boards. And it is so easy to slip in quasi ad hominems as you say. I find myself doing it a lot.

    The Boy Scouts of America

    I don't think your interpertation of the history of scouting organizations if correct. Scouting did not start as a nationalist front. It was supposed to be a fraternal international organization, dedicated to of all things, scouting. This Christian bent int he US is utter BS. BSA was usurped by...

    Logical fallacies

    By extension there is a difference between, "I think you are wrong because you are not smart" and "you are wrong because you are not smart". For something to be a logical fallacy the statements must be without equivocation. That said I think we should all try to avoid quaisi ad hominems as well...

    EMPIRICAL science and atheism joined at the hip.

    Ow, I wish I hadn't read that. The Bible "predicted" events that occurred before its inception? The author of my history textbooks must have been prophets they predicted thousands of years of history!
