  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Rather than take the hard route of knocking out the wrong foundation TE's just wimp out and accept it without challenge.

Again, you couldn't be further from the truth. TE's see God in the creation just as you do. It just happens that their understanding of the creation actually matches what we find there, unlike young earth creationists.

I have no problem talking to people about Genesis. It tells us what we need to know about God's involvment in creation. God created it all! I don't see how denying (by closing ones eyes and avoiding sound scientific conclusions) that it would help to witness. If I wanted to do that, I might as well revert to telling people that the sun revolves around the earth. That was a big part of the witness of biblical literalists in the past. It was wrong, just like young earth creationism. I don't think it would be good witness to tell people an incorrect (and falsified) history of the creation.
