  • 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.

The size of the ark was given in precise detail in the Bible. Rough calculations tell me that there could easlily have been 180 ( 3 x 2 x 30 ) stalls of 15ft by 30ft to accomodate larger animals, which is bigger than most living rooms in a modern house. Enough room for quite a few large animal pairs.
Right, but is that number enough? How many species of land animals with the size of a horse or larger are there? We also must account for many, many more smaller animals. And don't forget food for all these animals - or do you want to invoke magical hibernation to solve that little problem?
