  • 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

    Poor Design

    Not sure why me looking at the remote chance of something happening is an error. You are making an assumption that it happened. I would have to say..."God did it" and you would have to say..."pure luck, or no one did it". If I came up to you and told you that I could flip a coin and get heads...

    True, the theory of evolution can explain poor design...I'm not too sold on it being able to produce great design. But you are right in the sense that and ID argument would have a harder time explaining bad design. The only thing that comes to mind is in our lack of understanding of the purpose...

    True, you've never seen anyone design a tree. So is it because you have seen something designed the main criteria for you being able to make that assumption? A tree is alot more complex than a computer and camera. You tell me that a camera and computer are designed (I'm sure we can point out...

    Quote "No. If you want to be pedantic and demand that all instances of design be considered intelligently realized, I'll just stop using the word." I'm not trying to nit pic the words, I'm just trying to understand your point. I'm not expecting to include every aspect of design, but you have...

    Poor Design

    I thought it wasn't random, now you are going to ask me to believe that its all about luck? Random, directless, luck can create things that intelligent people cannot even fathom. There are things in the world that you would not argue again design for...I am assuming you wouldn't disagree that a...

    Hmm, so your telling me that natural selection can create things that intelligent scientists cannot even come close to and have copied their designs for decades. So in a nutshell, are you not telling me that the world and everything in it is created by an intelligent designer...I refer to mine...

    That would be why they had those big sharp teeth...to act as a sawing mechanism. :D

    Not random? Then who is setting the course for these changes. Random is somthing without a governing design, method, or purpose. To say it is not random would imply that somthing has to direct the changes.

    How can something be well-designed if it is done by a random, directless process. By definition... de·sign v. de·signed, de·sign·ing, de·signs To conceive or fashion in the mind; invent: design a good excuse for not attending the conference. To formulate a plan for; devise: designed a...

    So you are telling me that because to me it looks deigned it must be is appealing to ignorance... by definition ignorance n : the lack of knowledge or education But because something seems to be a poor design you are telling me that its random chance...and random chance has no knowledge of...

    Poor Design

    So because you decide that a couple of parts are poorly designed. And seing as how you went to great lengths to look at the problem on the other side just to say...ahh, stupid (science with an open mind). So, in order for evolution to be true,(by your poor design therefore statement) shouldn't...

    Poor Design

    I'm not saying its a good design, because I don't really know much about it. But I do know that it works. Maybe if we started...just for fun...looking at their function from a created standpoint (remember, just for fun), rather than trying to tie them back to our fish relatives we might find out...

    Poor Design

    That's not a whole lot better than...its an incredible design, a complete system. In order for it to develope, it needed a reason to be there, other system to be in place to use it and is now fatal to the system if it is removed. The structure makes sense if it was created as a complete system.

    Poor Design

    Isn't that a bit of a contradiction to say that evolution designed it? You say that an example of prro design is a sign of evolution, then wouldn't an example of excellent design be an example against evolution?

    Jet, who would you say designed it?
