  • 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

    Has anyone else read these ? Seriously worrying!

    It Is easy to think that such as Gruner are out on a limb as a lone voice saying that the message of Fatima was subverted, although it was abundantly clear that control of the blue army of Fatima was taken over from Haffert by Luna, and soul magazine was destroyed as Was the blue army message...

    Darwinian evolution - still a theory in crisis.

    I’m often accused of contrarian views that run counter to fact or science. my detractors all seem to assume That Darwinian evolution ( which doesn’t make it as a proper theory anyway) is now established as THE process of evolution , not what it really is - an overeach of conclusions based on too...

    My lasting regret about pope Francis.

    Our pope was truly blessed by the Lord and given a very important task. I think it is no coincidence our Lord performed the first recorded eucharistic miracles where the bread was seen in progressive conversion to forensically confirmed living heart tissue, in Buenos airies , in the cardinal...

    What is Death?

    There are many discussions on origin of life here. Which begs the question what is life? One parallel aspect of this should get more attention, is so What then is death? At one time medical definitions were easier , because the ability to resussitate after a heart stopping was very limited...

    How did you get into science

    In the interests of talking about something else. I’m fascinated in the stalwarts of this forum, mostly the professionals or trained people. What was the trigger that got you into science , in a deeper sense than superficial interest . Sure, most of us had telescopes , took things apart to see...

    The clintel declaration , can a Nobel laureate physicist be an anti intellectual,? Here it is a signed declaration by many… “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people...

    Storing unreliable energy

    In the interests of talking about something else: anything else! The problem with wind and sun is they are both unreliable. So who has bright ideas for storing energy , or the product of energy, till needed, other than big batteries. As electric car stats show , big batteries are not a great...

    The evidence of small miracles ..

    I’m fascinated by the evidence of miracles, going beyond the most famous. . I’ve searched the world to collect books on them. Many are old, for example the books on limpias are 1917-1920 era The books on the white doves of the pilgrim virgin are 1949-50 I’m curious .. how many have even heard...

    Public or private revelation?

    I am copying this from my other thread. it is a subject that deserves its own discussion: I said…. “I don’t understand why people are not shouting about the science of Eucharistic miracles from the rooftops. I accept the magisterium, but I have never understood the ambivalent attitude to...

    Who does the devil fear? The answer will amaze you!

    This should be more widely shared , as a piece of apologetics. One of the most succesful hacker groups in history is the turkish “ayyildiz team“ Their victories are legendary! It has hacked Israel’s iron dome. It put a turkish flag on a Russian ministry website. it even hacked UN. It hacked...

    So what evidence satisfies you?

    Science finds it easy to deal with “things” that have no free will to cooperate or not. You can perform a repeat of a test , or look for what repeats in nature, then observe behaviour , look for a pattern, find it or not. The behaviour is codified in experimental laws , and attempts are made...

    The bottom line - what do we really know?

    When people speak of evolution, they discuss complete organisms and family trees. Fossil record and such like things. An assumption of common descent rather than multiple independent pathways. They speak of molecular biology mechanisms of inheritance. They speak of mechanism of genetic...

    Learning to parachute.

    A man went to try his hand at parachuting. He had never done it before. So he entered training . They said - so wait for the light and jump. Count up to 5, and when you are clear of the aircraft, pull the parachute opening strap here. Oh he said. Ok. But what if that doesn’t work?? No...

    The MOST important issue we Must discuss as Christian’s , but there is no forum for it!

    I have a post I would like to write but I cant find a forum for it. It is pan denominational. As we speak, congregations are falling, many rely only on ageing populations . Some - once mighty- denominations are current attrition rate, destined to disappear In a decade. Christianity is no...

    Over simplistic threads on salvation.

    Too many threads follow a logic “ its salvation by faith” as if nothing else matters, or as though “ faith” renders works “ unnecessary” using “ either/ or “ logic. One or other. The problem with all threads like this is disagreement on the meaning of words, so no surprise a different...

    Question. Is extracting wind power causing some climate change problems?

    From efficiency Wind farms take ( say) 40- 50 % of the available power. A plausibility argument: Wind is part of what is cooling land. So with less wind , the land WILL be hotter. That heat is part of the climate change problem. so is wind power extraction - at best unreliable - causing...

    Interesting scientific developments… with huge potential.

    A thread for interesting science with big potential. Ill start with this. An area of science which is getting interesting is early stage cancer testing The massive galleri trial in U.K., although critical papers question the effectiveness to 80%, even then it’s very worthwhile. The claims...

    Science is messy.

    It is time this forum had threads about science. So I will start one about science itself. My statement is Science is fundamentally messy. It is not nearly the idealized process just comprised of "hypothesis, theory" taught to 8th graders. So discuss. Here an introduction. As einstein said...

    Speculation on Early life…. What do you think?

    There are no right or wrong answers to this. For everyone it is speculation / belief. I am just curious to know what people think. Many think the product of abiogenesis ( or creation) was a minimal living organism, then evolution took over to produce the life we see today. I am talking to...
