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.

Unless you've got something better, I'll take your post as a sterile rebuttal.

You didn't observe diddly.
You weren't there when Noah disembarked, and you haven't been to Neptune.

Since Noah is fictitious no one was there when he disembarked. And what does Neptune have to do with the argument?

One of the reasons I think you guys come here is because, if you go to a science site, all they'll do is either correct you guys' armchair remarks or agree with you.
Thus you come here, so you can push us around with your ... well ... knowledge.
But it's just a theory of mine, because I don't know if you guys actually do go to those places or not.
It seems to me that you guys would want to spend all your time there, since you seem to love science so much.
Or maybe you guys just like the smell of the "garbage" you say we put out?

Calm down!
According to one poster here, it is not possible for [just] me to have this high a post count.

From an intellectual standpoint, talking to people you agree with gets boring AV. It is stimulating to banter back and forth with opposing views.
Also, for me at least, I find this site entertaining, as it is interesting to see people's positions and how they justify them. Human psychology, is fun to watch.

No, some of us do go to forums for scientific debates with people in the fields.
However, I will say I stopped going to atheist forums because they were antitheist nests

Nah, I simply like tweaking the weak of faith.
Christians who have strong faith can believe in God even if the first two books of the Bible are false. Weak Christians will go to amazing lengths to defend the indefensible.

Taking the part of an Old Earth Creationist for the moment in order to explain the fossil record for them.A review of post #362 by all would be appreciated.
Two possibilities:
1. God set up the first life form(s) and the physical laws of the universe such that the resulting reproduction of the life form(s) would be imperfect but not so imperfect as to kill off all the progeny.
God is omniscient so he knew that one of the resultant life forms would have intelligence at a level where they could understand creation and realize there is a God. Once that species developed, God started interacting with it. That process of evolution along with sedimentation produced the fossil record we have.
2. God started the first life form and allowed it to reproduce. Throughout the eons, God fiddled with the DNA a little to push evolution toward humanity. That process of evolution along with sedimentation produced the fossil record we have.
That was actually pretty easy....uh...unless I misunderstood the directive (it really wasn't a question, despite the use of a question mark) in the first post.

No kidding?
And what happens?
You either get corrected, or you guys stand around saying stuff like:
Joe: Hey, did you know that gravity is Gm[sub]1[/sub]m[sub]2[/sub]/r[sup]2[/sup]?
Fred: Uh ... ya. Did you know that E=mc[sup]2[/sup]?
