  • 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.

Actually it was a proper response. Get back to me when you have watched the video that you said that you would watch.
Well I hope you don't let google bail you out of all your debates.

By the way, I did answer this question of yours. You then made a bogus prediction. I did not say "in what manner". I answered your question, you have not kept your word.
very well, I will watch it as long as he doesn't contradict himself. I will tell you how many seconds it lasts. I have heard him before.

He probably won't. You will probably run into something that you did not understand and call it a "contradiction". I will gladly explain any problems that you run into.

More false claims. Google is a tool that one uses to demonstrate that one's claims are correct.
I watched three minutes of it, till I Realized that you posted a quote mine of lawrence crouse. If you can say it, I can say it too. I don't watch quote mined videos. Since you can prove your alleged quote mine from before, I suppose you cannot disprove this one. Since quote mines dont exist. I figured I would fire that one back at you.

Nope, no quote mines by me. You don't seem to know what one is. Even though I defined it for you as you asked.

Now get back to your promise. And you better begin at the beginning again.

So you went back on your word. I supported my claim, you simply could not admit to it. You could not even make one up.

I would ask why creationists are afraid to even try to learn, but we all already know the answer to that one.

Maybe science isn't everyone's thing?

Do you dig macramé or water polo?

I did a turn on, tune in, and drop out.

I turned on to Jesus Christ, tuned in to the Bible and Its miracles, and dropped out of science.

God didn't call me to be a scientist, like He does others.

He called me to teach creationism.

Then one should not try to debate against science. Or reality for that matter since all that science does is to describe the world that we live in.

No, but then I do not debate against them either.

In other words you decided to tune out of the real world since that is what science is about. If you do not want to understand the real world you should not debate against it either.

God didn't call me to be a scientist, like He does others.

He called me to teach creationism.

But creationism is clearly not true. It is false. Why would you want to teach something that is not true? Worse yet you admitted to avoiding reality. Science only deals with what is real and observable. Wishing that something was true is never a good debating technique.

No argument there.

Physical reality is one iota of all of reality, which includes the spiritual world.

I don't recommend trying to debate against physical reality: I recommend just telling someone they're wrong and let it go at that.

Negative.

There's a saying that covers that:

Don't be so heavenly minded you're no earthly good.

I support missionaries around the world via faith promise giving; I work as an officer of our church; and until recently, I worked at our local board of elections; and my wife is a secretary in a Fortune 100 company.

Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

I'll take that under advisement.

But I think I need at least a superficial knowledge of the world in order to discuss reality as a whole.

Sorry, but you need to substantiate such a claim. All you have is your own interpretation of the Bible. That is not worth much in even a Christian debate.

I don't recommend trying to debate against physical reality: I recommend just telling someone they're wrong and let it go at that.

I see, you prefer to stick your fingers in your ears and shout "NA NA NA NA"

Not a very effective debating technique.

Negative.

Where do you show in that statement that you are have not tuned out the real world?

I'll take that under advisement.

But I think I need at least a superficial knowledge of the world in order to discuss reality as a whole.

And you run away from even superficial knowledge. So perhaps you should try to learn, just a little.

What is this? an inquisition?

You want to know why some creationists are 'afraid to even try to learn,' and here's my answer:

Maybe science ain't their bag?

Case closed. :)

Then stay out of the maters of science. It is really that simple. You want it both ways. That is more than bit hypocritical.
