  • 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.

I've been down that road, it's a blind alley, in the dark with a creepy stranger. Abiogenesis really isn't seeing any major advances and the RNA theory, while compelling, is riddled with holes. Creationists have gotten a lot of mileage our of the probability arguments, there is only one real way to deal with this. Start with a fully functional single cell population and go from there because there is just too much that has to happen otherwise. It's called a priori and there is no other way.
Creationists certainly think they've gotten a lot of mileage. I'll go with the palaeochemists.
