  • 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.

That depends on the definition of cosmos. The statement has not been proved scientifically. It was a claim that Sagan made without proof.

Ge 1:

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
As a Christian, I believe that God existed before he created the cosmos.

Correct. In fact, if Cosmos is by definition NOT God, then there is less reason to believe it has always existed, than there is that God was first.

And if Cosmos is considered by definition, God, then whoever is considering it has a self-contradiction on their hands, even if they want to insist that Cosmos is 'with intent'. God does not fit to form. He is not comprised of mechanical fact.
