• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

A belief, not an assertion of fact

And it is a wonderful hike. :) Exploring the earth and universe where discoveries lead to more and more discoveries.
That hike ends here ...

2 Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

That has nothing to do with science. Take your apologetics to an appropriate thread outside of the science forums of the CF.

thanks for that absoultely pointless post

If I may.

The point is that God is in control, not some mysterious process that turns dead matter into life and then forms it into complex critters over time.

Read yer bible. God set the boundaries for reproduction in Adam's day. Kind would only reproduce kind. Prior to that all sorts of goofy creatures might have been produced by indiscriminate interbreeding (evolution?).

I, one individual among many who accept the science of evolution have a belief that is only tangentially related to the science of evolution.

That belief is this: that at some point in the past, by natural means, living matter emerged by some process from non-living matter.

This belief could be characterized as "spontaneous generation" has probably occurred at least once in the past.

If I am wrong in this belief (which, not having strong empirical evidence to base it upon, I may well be), that has no impact on the theory of evolution which does have strong credibility from empirical evidence.
Nope, they fooled you.

All sorts of goofy creatures? How about dogs? We humans actually evolved them from wolves. Also, there is more than o ne interpretation as to what the term "kind" is referring to in Scripture.

I think they look like pretty much the same 'kind' of critter.
