  • 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

    Because God is not against the practice.

    This is not what they do. They are not trying to construct a specific protein randomly. Small changes occur until you finally end up with the protein in question. As an analogy, say you are living in 1800 and wish to predict what will happen today. The odds of guessing the right answer is near...

    Truth to Myths?

    I'm talking about the concept of the big bang before they knew of the expansion. Sorry I wasn't clear. In other words, once they learned of the expansion, they put it in front of what they before knew as the big bang. Doing this did not in any way prove that science is not dependable, which is...

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    You've expressed the key point. A conscious agent can never know about such things as what consciousness is in its essence. Scientists don't claim to know what energy is in its essence; rather, they merely treat it as something that exists and can be described.

    Apparently the necessary cellular framework was in place at the beginning the Cambrian explosion. And likely, a few key mutations triggered it all after that. I don't get why this is used to disprove evolution. Darwin didn't know about cellular microbiology so, naturally, he was mystified by...

    You can go from each step via very small changes. It took a billion years before the first multi-cellular organism appeared. That's a long time for all the internal machinery of the cell to develop.

    All you need at the beginning is a sac having contents inside different than outside, and that this sac splits into two similar sacs. Lipids almost automatically do this on their own.

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    I question that this proves what is claimed. It may just mean that the brain knows the conscious free will agent is going to decide soon. It doesn't prove that a decision was made by the brain outside of conscious free will.

    Scientists haven't detected any evidence for God.

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    The early scientists were the Greeks and Romans. They didn't believe in a monotheistic God. Science did not derive out of Christian teaching and from the Bible.

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    The problem is that the so-called non-physical mind invents and imagines all kinds of things. There is no way to know which of these are true and which false without some evidence. So, you can't even poke the nonphysical with a nonphysical stick.

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    If a spiritual realm outside the physical realm has no evidence for it, why would anyone even consider it as an option for belief? And if there is some evidence, enough to justify belief in it, then the question is in the scope of science.

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    Even "proof" of a theory is based on mere evidence. Certain hypotheses don't have sufficient evidence at this time (and maybe never will) to be considered as true. I think consciousness is in this category. Just as we will never know what energy or entropy or space or time is; likewise for...

    what do scientists think about fate and destiny

    I think they don't know what consciousness is, but they know brain function is necessary to generate it. Therefore, they assume it emerges from brain function. This is true, I suppose, as far as it goes. Seems to me if something emerges, the possibility for its emergence must have been present...

    Truth to Myths?

    I don't believe there is a contradiction. The expansion occurred before the big bang. Before they knew about the expansion, they postulated that it started from a singularity, but it doesn't. After the expansion ended; this is what they used to call the big bang. Just like with Newton's...
