  • 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.

    Variation of nuance (of Evolution?), ensures more survive. Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is straight up probability: a diversified nest egg, is less likely to suffer a loss. The same is true of Evolution: a variation of the nuance adapted, ensures the young will more likely live on. I'm wondering if you can see the connection. It's basically introducing the...

    There is no sign, that Evolution has been defeated - therefore its efficacy is greatly diminshed

    Hi there! So yes, I thought I would come to you first, with this (believers) - because it leaves something out, something to be desired. I am not sure what it was that was inspiring about this notion of "beating Evolution"; I have never really desired to 'defeat' almost anyone, certainly not...

    If "Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" evolves, why does "Butterfly -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" not?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple question in some ways: if "Caterpillar -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" evolves, why does "Butterfly -> Cocoon -> Butterfly" not evolve also? What selection pressure is there, for the former, but not for more of the same? If the evolution was guided by a selection pressure...

    Douglas Axe's expertise on natural selection of desserts.

    The Dessert Cart Paradox - A "Gaping Hole in Evolutionary Theory" In this 5 minute video Axe puts forth an analogy that natural selection is like selecting a dessert from a dessert cart, i.e, the dessert must be there to select. He does a good job of never mentioning mutations and an equally...

    Given no new selection pressures, the peak adaptation of a species need not provoke change

    Hi there, So it seems evident that there is a massive unknown, here: what if there are no "new" selection pressures? What if the driving force behind change, is answered? Would you say 'no, Evolution needs to invent selection pressures, to provoke itself with'? What would be the sense of that...

    Should we put the species of Earth under deliberate pressure?

    Hi there, So I know we are sort of expected to debate here, but for some reason people think I am debating even when I am just asking a question. Like here: I am asking, should we put the species of Earth under deliberate pressure? Realistically, I don't know. Maybe just see if you can...

    If my adaptation supersedes my predator's adaptation, does Evolution stop?

    Hi there, So yes, a very simple thought, today: if my adaptation supersedes my predator's adaptation, does Evolution stop? The premise here is simply that survival of the fittest, is only possible while there is "selection pressure". Evolutionists have tended to talk as if pressure is a...

    If Evolution is true, why are human adaptations not ubiquitous?

    Hi, So yes, there are adaptations that are specifically human. Humans also assert their selection pressures on other species. Why don't other species respond to humans with human adaptations? A more human ape, is the future? Why not? If Evolution is a continual force, human adaptations will...
