  • 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

    Honest question: do parasites evolve, if their hosts do?

    Hi there, So this is all about niche, as far as I understand it: a host of a parasite represents a 'niche' that the parasite can adapt for - the question is, if the host evolves, does the parasite therefore have to evolve? Or have the opportunity to evolve? Clearly there are different...

    Let's make Evolution, more memorable - suggestions?

    Hi there, So this is an example of me going the extra mile, for friends of Evolution. Evolution, which is a theory, can be maintained in one of two ways, for example: by way of extrapolation from existing memories, or by example made of extenuous objects of memory, that are not directly related...

    A powerful member of a species, is repeatedly told "you have failed to evolve" and does not know how

    Hi there, So this is just setting up the progression, in the opposite direction: a powerful member of a species is repeatedly told "you have failed to evolve" and the member does not know how - what happens as soon as that member mates and has offspring? Surely it depends on how that member...

    The word became flesh and the days were shortened and thus the Gospel was also

    Hi there, So I have been sifting through the times, what they mean and where they go, and I hit upon a truth that I thought as Church goers, you might be interested in. Now, I'm going to give you a progression, here, because although the truth stands on its own, it stands more easily if you...

    For most of us, faith is sufficient but not necessary, to the one that endures - true?

    Hi there, [scripture] As Jesus said "He that endures to the end, shall be saved" (from memory). [faith] I think that learning from this, we may conclude that faith is sufficient for us, but not necessary - to the one that endures. [history] I have struggled for a long time, with what...

    Crea-volution: the concept of Creation adapting to Evolution.

    Hi there, So you have two concepts, Creation and Evolution. This is fine, as long as you don't try to remove one or the other in the name of its opposite. The mistake is to think that one being right, the other is wrong. How do we navigate this? My suggestion, is to create a concept that...

    The person with [great] dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts - Einstein. Discuss.

    Hi there, So there is a parallel of this truth in scripture, I'm not sure which would be said to be the more beautiful. Compare: The point being, that there are degrees of greatness, with anything. Just knowing the facts is not enough, neither is planting your feet firmly on the world. I have...

    He that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous (selah)

    Hi there, So this is going to be step by step, ok? I want you to assess where you stand on the idea that there is a right way to wield a blade. The claim is this: he that has the blade, does not train to be obstreperous. In other words, the efficacy of the blade, is better trained to cut than...

    If We Love Jesus

    With regard to the Christian faith and doctrine, we can’t make up our own version of the gospel message. We can’t ignore the Scriptures we don’t like and build our doctrine of salvation around a few select passages of Scripture which are being taught outside their context. We must look at the...

    Apes differ in kinds of aggression; Man differs in kinds of words - they'll never be the same

    Hi there, So just to put it simply: Apes have different kinds of aggression, but Man has different kinds of words. They will never be the same. Types of aggression (in apes), did not become types of words (in Man); types of words (in men) will never become types of an alternative (in some...

    Nude Evolution: the right progression of selection pressures, will evolve "Evolution"?

    Hi there, So to contradict this thought experiment, you basically have to say "there is no selection pressure for selection pressure"? The thought experiment is basically simple: a sequence of selection pressures lead to Darwin discovering "Evolution" and the same concept could be used to lead...

    Honest question: how do we become less knowing, without becoming more questioning?

    Hi there, So this is evidently a question about faith. I do not mean to add question to question. My intent is to have faith, despite people having "questions". People ask questions, but when they receive the knowledge the ask, if they ask in vain, they simply come up with more questions. As a...
